New Balance Size Guide

Are you unsure about which size to choose for New Balance? Ordering the wrong shoe size is the main reason people exchange their sneakers after purchasing them online. Finding the perfect fit can be challenging, which is why we have created a size guide for Adidas below to help you.

Are you dreaming of clicking home a pair of our New Balance sneakers but unsure about which size to choose? New Balance sneakers are generally true to size, so you can safely order your usual size. If you want to be absolutely sure, you can check our New Balance size guide below.

Be especially aware that Nike and New Balance shoe sizes are fairly similar, so if you don’t own a pair of New Balances yet, you can often rely on the fit and size of your Nike sneakers. When comparing your other sneakers with the size guide, note that the tongue will show JPN and not something that directly indicates centimeters. But JPN is what you should check when looking for the centimeter measurement of your sneakers. For example, if it shows 290, your sneakers are 29 cm.

When it comes to New Balance sizes, it’s particularly for women that the sizes aren't directly comparable. In sizes 36-38, they are slightly smaller compared to Nike sneakers. So, if you’re between sizes 36 and 38, we recommend sizing up half a size, as the shoes, according to New Balance's size guide, have a slightly smaller internal measurement compared to Nike. On the other hand, the sizes are very similar to Adidas sizes in the 36-38 range. So, if you're ordering a pair of the super-popular New Balance 990 or New Balance 550, we recommend going through the size guide to be on the safe side.

When it comes to New Balance shoe sizes for men, just like with women’s sneakers, the fit can vary for each model. However, you can generally expect that if you wear size 44 in one pair of New Balance sneakers, you should also wear that size in another pair from New Balance. If you're at all unsure about which size to order, you can check our New Balance size guide. The size guide is for reference, and we always recommend reading the "size recommendation" on each product page, as, as mentioned earlier, the fit can vary depending on the model.

If you're unsure about which size New Balance to choose, it can be a really good idea to measure your foot and compare it with our New Balance size guide. This way, you can be reasonably certain about which size you need. Below is a guide on how to measure your foot as accurately as possible.

1. Stand with both of your feet against a wall.
   
   
2. Place an object where your longest toe ends. The easiest items to use, which most people have at home, are a book, a magazine, or something similar.
   
   
3. Step away and measure the distance between the wall and the object you placed (book or similar).
   
   
4. Now you have the number of centimeters your feet measure. You can use the table to see which size matches your foot measurement in cm.
   
   
5. If your measurement is between two different sizes, always go up one size.
   
   
6. Always remember to check the size recommendation on our products. You need to consider that for some models, you may need to go up half a size or a full size.
