New Balance men's and women's size chart

We put together the data from 40+ brand shoe size charts to find out how New Balance sizes compare to other brands. Verdict: New Balance is consistent with most popular athletic brands.

But before you proceed to order your regular shoe size, we highly recommend measuring your foot length first. If it's been a while (or forever) since you last did it, you might be surprised! Even in adulthood, your feet continue to grow.

Once done, use the chart below to help you find the right New Balance size for you.

How New Balance shoes fit

There are typically no surprises when it comes to fitting New Balance shoes. Whether you’re after the iconic 574 silhouettes, the nostalgic dad trainers, or the cushy Fresh Foam running shoes, expect all of them to feel true to New Balance size and at home on your feet straight from the box.

Individual models can deviate from this feel-good formula, so we recommend checking our in-depth lab reviews where we provide measurements for shoe length and toebox dimensions for each NB shoe we test!

New Balance fits all widths and shapes!

It’s been one of the brand’s core principles from the early years of the company to accommodate feet of all shapes and sizes.

A vast majority of the currently available NB shoes can be purchased in different width options from Extra-Narrow to XX-Wide.

New Balance men’s and women’s shoe widths

NB uses the industry's most common approach to indicate shoe widths - the A, B, D, and E letters. Depending on the gender, here is what each letter means:

Men	Width	Women
-	4A	Extra Narrow
Extra Narrow	2A	Narrow
Narrow	B	Standard
Standard	D	Wide
Wide	2E	Extra Wide
Extra Wide	4E	Extra Wide
Extra Wide	6E	-

New Balance is one of the few brands that provides detailed measurements for each width option. This is amazingly convenient and we applaud the company for that. Based on the charts below, the difference between New Balance shoe widths is 3-4 mm. 

The charts below provide foot width measurements in millimetres.
