New Balance Shoe Size Guide
New Balance is the go-to brand for wide feet. The standard D width on men’s and B width on women’s already run a touch roomier than most rivals, and dedicated 2E, 4E and 6E options take that even further. Length runs true to size across the 990 series, Fresh Foam and FuelCell ranges - it is the volume that is generous, not the length.
Use the converter below to translate a New Balance US size into UK, EU, JP, KR, CN, AU and MX. If you have a narrow heel, consider the 2A (women’s) or B (men’s) widths and lace through the top eyelet for extra lockdown.

Frequently asked questions
Do New Balance shoes run wide?
New Balance shoes do run wider than most brands in the forefoot, even in the standard D (men’s) and B (women’s) widths. That is part of the brand’s identity - it is also why they offer 2A, B, D, 2E, 4E and 6E widths on many models, more than any other major running brand.
Are New Balance and Nike sizes the same?
Length is essentially the same - a New Balance US 9 is a Nike US 9. Width is not: New Balance’s standard width is closer to Nike’s "wide" cut, so most wearers stick with their usual length and choose D/B in New Balance, even if they normally wear Nike’s wide option.
How do I know what New Balance width to buy?
Trace your foot on a sheet of paper, measure across the widest part of the ball of your foot, and compare to New Balance’s width chart. As a rough rule: under 9.5cm goes 2A/B, 9.5–10cm goes B/D, 10–10.5cm goes D/2E, and over 10.5cm goes 2E/4E. Always cross-check against the model-page chart.
