New balance sizing!

Hi,

Can someone help me. I want some new balance 327 but the sizing of these are confusing. I'm a size 4-5 but I'm going to get junior size, did you stay true to size or size up/down?

I stayed true to my normal size. Also bought a kids pair and they fitted fine

I bought them in size 4 and 5 (both adult and junior sizing). I'm usually 4-4.5, but found the 4 too small. That's not unusual though, so probably fairly true to size.
The only difference between the junior and adult versions were the number of eyelets - 4 pairs on the junior and 6 on the adult version. I stuck with the junior!

Ahh thank you so much. I've got a pair of other new balances but they're adult size 5 and I know that particular type run small. Think it's wise going 4.5 in 327 at size 4.5? X

Can't help with junior Vs adult, but all my NB trainers I've sized up in. At least by a half size, more if they're for running.

My feet were measured for (adult) NB shoes at a running store and they put me up a size to my normal shoe size

It's just tough lol I'm a size 4 in other trainers but the adult ones I'm a size 5 that run small. So don't know if I should get 4.5 in junior. I just cba sending things back 😂

I’ve got a couple of pairs and I think they run small

Mercurial123 · 15/01/2024 11:59

I'd say true to size

True to size, quite wide.

In junior?

I find they run a little small. I’m a 6, sometimes a 5.5 and the size 6 I have are little tight around the toes

JeanGabin · 15/01/2024 12:35

Realised it was the 4.5 I ended up with, not the 5's. The 4.5 are fine - plenty space in the toe box.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 15/01/2024 12:49

I size up by half a size casual, and a shine size if they're actual running shoes.

But I am a size 8.5 and women's shoe sizing is massively inconsistent above about a 7.
