Size Advice

Getting the correct fit is so important when choosing your footwear. This is not only to achieve maximum performance, but also to avoid blistering and more serious injuries.

Firstly, when choosing your footwear, think about what you’ll be wearing underneath. For example, if you’re going to be wearing thick socks you may need to take ½ a size up. When measuring your feet, always measure them whilst wearing the socks you intend to wear.

If you have a wider than average foot, have a look for those shoes that are available in a 2E or 4E wider widths. Most shoes by New Balance are available in wider widths.

Get a gender specific fit. Because men’s and women’s feet vary in shape and size, it’s essential to make sure that you buy a shoe specific to your gender. Female feet are narrower, particularly around the heel and women should therefore only buy a shoe built on a female last. Men’s feet tend to be broader, and therefore are built on a more generous last.

Running Shoes – we recommend that you go up ½ to a full size from your usual shoe size, because when running your feet will swell, so you need to have a thumbnail’s width of space at the end of the shoe to ensure you have enough space. Generally, if you’ll be running up to 10K in a session, a half size up should be sufficient, but if you’re doing more than 10K a full size up might be needed.

Football boots – are narrow as they should fit tightly to keep your foot over the sole unit for better traction. What size you should buy depends on the upper – leather boots will stretch, particularly when wet. If you’re buying a leather boot, we recommend that you take ½ a size down from your normal shoe size and ensure that you take the time to wear your boots in. The leather should mould to the shape of your foot, giving an individual, customised fit. For synthetic leather boots we recommend that you take your normal shoe size.
