Just like people, feet come in all different shapes. Because shoes that fit better perform better,
New Balance knows that proper fit means multiple widths. New Balance is the only manufacturer to offer
the majority of shoe models in multiple widths, from narrow (2A) to extra-extra-wide (6E).

| What size are you? |
- In general, the standard Men's width is "D"; for Women, the standard
width is "B". If the majority of shoes you own, or have purchased in the past,
fit adequately, these are the widths you should select.
- If the shoes you own tend to feel overly spacious in width, you should
consider selecting a narrower width size. If the shoes you own tend to feel
noticeably narrow or snug, then you should consider selecting a wider
width size.
- If your feet seem "between" sizes and you cannot decide which
size to select, we suggest you choose the larger size. You can make
adjustments for a better fit with socks, insoles, or a different lacing
pattern.
- Since feet always swell during the day, we encourage you to try shoes on
later in the day when your feet are at their largest.

| Sizing Tips |
- With respect to feel, your heel should fit snug with no
slipping; the midfoot of the shoe under your arch and over the top of
your foot should be snug but not tight; and you should have enough room in
the toe box to wiggle your toes.
- People are more than twice as likely to buy a shoe that is too small
than too big. Clues that your shoes are too small or narrow include -
foot cramping or "falling asleep" while running or just after
running or the formation of blisters and calluses between or on your
toes.
- New Balance shoes are made to fit directly out of the box. They do
not need to be broken in.
- Feet typically get bigger with age. We encourage you to have your
feet measured every year.
- Women's feet often become a half-size (or more) larger after
pregnancy.
- Your left and right feet may differ in length or width as much as a full
size. Be sure to measure and try shoes on both feet, and always buy shoes to fit
your larger foot.
