New Balance Shoe Size Chart
New Balance's own published size chart, covering a 20.5cm to 38cm foot, with 4 real width fittings rather than length alone, including a children's chart New Balance publishes itself. Every figure below is keyed to a measured foot length rather than converted from another size number. Open the calculator with New Balance selected to read it against all 35 brands at once.
Does New Balance run small?
No. By its own size chart, New Balance sizes in line with most brands in both men's and women's sizes. A 27 cm foot is a men's US 9 in New Balance and in 22 of 34 other brands' charts. Charts show how a brand means its sizes to fit, not how any one shoe feels, so read New Balance's own fit advice below as well.
| Foot length | New Balance | Most common in other brands |
|---|---|---|
| Men's, 25.5 cm | US 7.5 | US 7.5 (20 of 34) |
| Men's, 27 cm | US 9 | US 9 (22 of 34) |
| Men's, 28.5 cm | US 10.5 | US 10.5 (19 of 34) |
| Women's, 23 cm | US 6 | US 6 (14 of 33) |
| Women's, 24 cm | US 7 | US 7 (15 of 34) |
| Women's, 25 cm | US 8 | US 8 (15 of 34) |
How this is worked out: every foot length from 25 to 29 cm (men's) and 22.5 to 26 cm (women's), in 1 mm steps, is read against New Balance's chart and the other 34 brands' charts the way the calculator reads them, rounding up between sizes. The answer is the average gap between New Balance's size and the size the other brands give most often. See the methodology.

New Balance lists two sizes at some foot lengths, because its centimeter column is rounded. Both are shown; the calculator gives the smaller.

Not every model is made in every fitting. Enter a forefoot width in the calculator and it returns New Balance's own fitting for your foot. The width chart compares fittings across brands, and the wide-feet guide shows how to tell whether your foot is wide.
How to measure for New Balance
New Balance footwear charts use foot length as the primary size reference. Width is a separate fit dimension and should not be inferred from foot length alone.
New Balance fit guidance
New Balance offers multiple width options on many models. Choose size from foot length first; use the model-specific width chart when available.
