Tips For Finding Your Perfect Size

  • Try shoes on in the late afternoon when your feet are
    at
    their largest due to normal swelling.

  • Check that your heel fits snug 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 the toe box to wiggle your toes.

  • Choose the larger size if your feet are between sizes.
    You
    can adjust for a better fit with socks, insoles and lacing patterns.

  • Have your feet re-measured every year. Feet typically
    get
    bigger with age and women’s feet often become a half size or more larger after
    pregnancy.

  • Be sure to try shoes on both feet. Your left and right
    feet
    may differ in length or width as much as a full size. Always buy shoes that fit your
    larger
    foot.

  • Watch out for signs that your shoes are too small or
    narrow:
    feet cramping and falling asleep while running or the formation of calluses and blisters
    in
    between or on your toes. People are more than twice as likely to buy a shoe that is too
    small than too big.

Pronation Guide & Shoe Types

Getting the right fit in running footwear isn’t just about size. It’s about having the advantages you need to perform your best. Our best is born in the New Balance Sports Research Lab in Lawrence, Massachusetts where we invest countless hours in the study of running pronation.

Types of Pronation

Neutral Pronation: Occurs when the foot rolls inward slightly from the outer edge of the heel through the forefoot and the big toe.

Severe or Overpronation: Occurs when the foot rolls inward excessively from the heel through the midfoot.

Moderate Pronation: Falls between the other two pronation levels.

Shoe Type Guide

Shoe Type Why You Should Wear It
Neutral Cushioning For athletes who seek the ultimate in cushioning for their workouts.
Stability Like a neutral cushioning shoe, but with a moderate amount of pronation control.
Lightweight Designed for athletes who value speed and agility in lightweight, responsive shoes.
Minimal Low-profile, lightweight shoes that offer a barefoot fit and feel.
Motion Control Maximum control, stability, and support for those with moderate to severe overpronation.

According to the NPD Group’s 2013 Athletic Footwear Brand Landscape Study: “Of all the leading Athletic Performance Brands, New Balance ranks highest on Comfort and Fit.”
