  • In general, the standard width for shoes are "D" for men, and "B" for women.
  • If the majority of shoes you buy fit fine, then these are the widths you should select.
  • If the shoes you own tend to be wide or feel spacious in width, then you should consider selecting a narrower width. If the shoes you own tend to be narrow or feel snug in width, then you should consider selecting a wider width.

  

determining what sizes are available...
  • For Store Specials, Size Availability Charts are provided at the bottom of each shoe.
  • For all other styles, available sizes are provided in a format similar to the one below...
D: 7-12, 13, 14, 15, 16
4E: 7-12, 13, 14, 15, 16
In this example, this shoe is available in two widths, D & EEEE. For size, this shoe is available in .5 (half) sizes from 7 to 12, and then in whole sizes only from 12 to 16.

tip when entering sizes: For half sizes, enter  .5. For example, enter 9.5 as the shoe size. Don't forget to also enter a width, of course.
  
additional sizing tips...
  • If you seem to be "between" sizes and can't decide which size to select, we suggest you go with the larger size. You can make adjustments for a better fit with socks, insoles or a different lacing pattern.
  • With respect to feel... your heel should fit snugly with no slipping; the midfoot of the shoe under your arch and over the top of your foot should be snug but not tight; you should have enough room in your toe box to wiggle your toes.
  • Feet always swell during the day, we encourage you to try shoes on later in the day when your feet are at their largest.
  • 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...  your feet cramp while running or just after running; your feet fall asleep while running; you get 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.
  • Many times women's feet become a half-size (or more) larger after pregnancy.
  • Your left and right feet may differ in size by as much as a full size. Always measure and try shoes on both feet and buy shoes to fit your larger foot.
