Finding the right shoe size starts with knowing your foot length.
Shoe sizes can vary between brands and models, so a US, EU, or UK size should be used as a general reference rather than a universal standard.
For the most accurate fit, measure your foot in centimeters and compare the measurement with the size chart provided on the product page.
You will need:
Place the paper on a hard, flat surface with one edge against a wall.
Stand naturally on the paper with your heel lightly touching the wall.
Mark the end of your longest toe with a pen or pencil held vertically.
Measure the distance from the edge of the paper to the mark in centimeters.
Repeat the measurement for your other foot.
Use the measurement of your longer foot when comparing your size with a shoe size chart.
It is normal for one foot to be slightly longer than the other.
The table below is a general reference based on New Balance’s official women’s size guide. Actual sizing may vary by brand and shoe model.

If your foot measurement falls between two sizes, check the sizing recommendation on the specific product page.
Do not assume that the same size will fit identically across different brands or shoe models.
Always measure both feet.
If your feet are different lengths, use the measurement of your longer foot when choosing a size.
Your feet can change slightly in size during the day.
For a more representative measurement:
Foot length is one of the most useful measurements when choosing a shoe online, but it does not describe the complete fit.
Shoe fit can also be affected by:
For this reason, the size shown on a product page should always be checked before ordering.
This guide is provided as a general shoe-size reference for customers shopping in US and European markets.
