New Balance Shoe Size Guide
New Balance charts for length plus width letters (B, D, 2E, 4E).
New Balance sells more width options than most brands—men often see D, 2E, and 4E; women often see B, D, and 2E. Match length first, then pick a width if shoes usually feel tight or loose across the forefoot.
How to Use This New Balance Size Chart
Step-by-Step Guide
- Know Your Current Size: Determine your New Balance size in one system (US, UK, EU, or CM). If you're not sure, measure your foot length and use the converter above.
- Select Your Gender: Choose whether you're looking for men's, women's, or kids' sizes. New Balance sizing scales differ between genders.
- Determine Your Width: This is crucial for New Balance! Measure your foot width and determine if you need standard (D), wide (2E), or extra wide (4E) width.

New Balance Width Sizing Guide (D / 2E / 4E)
Men's Widths:
D (Standard): The default width for most men's shoes.
2E (Wide): For feet that need more room across the ball.
4E (Extra Wide): For feet that need significantly more room.
Women's Widths:
B (Standard): The default width for most women's shoes.
D (Wide): For feet that need more room across the ball.
2E (Extra Wide): For feet that need significantly more room.
Pro tip: New Balance's width options are one of their key advantages. If you often find shoes too tight or too loose, trying a different width (rather than just changing length) can make a huge difference in comfort. See the full shoe width size chart and what D / B / EE mean.
New Balance is known for width choices as much as length. Use the charts below for US / UK / EU / CM, then check width if the length is right but the shoe feels narrow.
