| Sizing Tips |
- 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.
|
- 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 snuggly 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.
|
- Unisex styles are men's sizes. Women's sizes are all estimates.
|
| Browsing for your size and width... |
If your size is not listed in the order information for a specific style, then your size is out of stock for that style. You can choose to browse only the shoes or apparel in your size by selecting your desired size on
the category page you are interested. You can also narrow down
your selection by width.
|
 |
| Determining what sizes are available... |
If your size is not in the drop-down menu, that size is out of stock for that particular item. This applies for both
shoe and apparel items.

Shoe Lasts
New Balance earned our position as the leader in Total Fit™ by offering more fit combinations than any other footwear company. In addition to shoe length and width, we use a shoe last. A shoe last is a 360 degree model of the foot used to create each shoe's heel width, instep height, toe box width and toe box depth. Though it's not the primary factor, in conjunction with length and width, the shoe last helps our customers achieve the best possible fit.

| Committed to American Workers |
|
New Balance proudly relies on our manufacturing associates to produce a quarter
of our North American footwear worn by consumers (approximately 7 million pairs
of shoes) in the U.S. each year.
We made our first pair of running shoes in 1938, and hold the distinction as
the only company that still manufactures athletic shoes in the U.S. As a
company, we are proud to invest in American workers who provide some of the
greatest working spirit, commitment to advancement and ingenuity known in the
industrial world. For us, Committed to American Workers is more than a slogan
or viewpoint - it is the heart and "sole" of our company.
New Balance has proven that high quality athletic footwear can be produced
competitively in America. We are proud of our heritage of domestic
manufacturing and our strong commitment to American workers.
Many New Balance shoes are produced by our U.S. workforce using U.S. and
imported materials. When possible, we obtain materials from domestic suppliers.
At times, due to availability, economic or quality reasons, there is a need to
import components from foreign sources. Where the domestic value is at least
70%, we have labeled the shoe "Made in USA." Where it falls below 70%, we have
qualified the label referencing domestic and imported materials.
