New Balance Shoe Width Sizing Guide
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 mid-foot 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.
