- 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.
|
- 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.
