New Balance trainers - sizing question

13 replies

Zeropiddledwhilehomeburned · 27/09/2017 15:35

I'm currently umming and aahing over getting a pair of NB trainers (the 373 style) and I would appreciate any guidance as to sizing. I'm a UK 6 and my feet are a normal sort of width, neither especially narrow or wide. Are NB's sizes true to size? Would I need to size up or down?

Also, while I'm here - are they lovely and squishy?! They look v comfortable.

Thank you!

I think NB are similar to Nikes, so not as wide as Adidas. I take size 5 Nike and size 5 NB

I'd say they're on the small side, I'm a 4/4.5 and needed a 5 but more because they don't do a half size. If you're a normal width 6 I'd go for a 6.

They're not squishy, but they are lovely. I put them on the first time and thought "meh", nothing special, didn't expect to wear them a great deal. But since my first proper wear they've been my main shoe. Difficult to describe, they just fit so well (no blisters!). Kind of feel like socks but sturdy enough that you don't feel cobbles and stuff!

I'm a 5.5 but wear a 6 as they don't do halves.

I'm also a uk 6 and and I have a pair of NB trainers. I absolutely love them and they fit perfectly. Expect to need to break them in first. At first they feel a bit stiff but so comfy after the breaking in period.

Thanks all for your replies - I'll get some in my usual size and see how I get on!

Up , I'm size 4 in sandals and heels and 5 in these!

I’m a 3.5 or 4 in most shoes, NB 4 or 4.5 are way too small! Not long bought a size 5 pair of trainers , def go a size up.

PNGirl · 27/09/2017 18:53

I'm a 6 and both my pairs are a 6!

I have nb trainers and wear a size 6 in most shoe and my size 6 NB trainers fit fine. If your unsure maybe order a few different sizes and send back the ones that don't fit.

I found they came up small and I actually ended up with a very sore foot because I insisted on wearing them as I didn't realise immediately and it was too late to return them.

I go up to a 4.5 and I'm between 3/4 in shoes and sandals

huntersmum · 27/09/2017 22:17

I have the 373 style and find them true to size. They are not terribly wide but they are really light and comfy.

redmarkone · 27/09/2017 23:22

i have the 373s. i am a narrow 6 and usually wear a 6 from all shops.

the 373 size 6 fitted me perfectly, like best fit of trainer i've had.
