Great sneakers
These sneakers are super comfortable! They are great for more narrow feet, I will be buying more in other colors.

New Balance Online Sizing Experience
I recently ordered a pair of New Balance shoes online and unfortunately had to return them due to sizing issues. I ordered one size up from my normal size, but they still didn’t fit — I would have needed to go up at least another size again.
I find New Balance sizing extremely difficult to get right when ordering online. What would normally be a size 42 for me seems to correspond more to a size 45 in their range. Even when using AU/UK sizing, I consistently have to go up about two sizes compared to brands like Nike, ASICS, and Birkenstock.
Living in a rural area means online shopping is my main option, so inconsistent sizing makes it frustrating and inconvenient. I’d really appreciate clearer sizing guidance or better consistency across their ranges.

Solid, different shoe
Not the most comfortable shoes, the sole is not very large, they look good, the navy and light blue coloring is sleek and good looking for a new look.

A slightly smaller & narrower fit, but still great
I love the design of these trainers and they look great! The only thing I would point out is that they are slightly narrower than I am used to and seem to be more of a tight fit compared to other trainers I have in the same size. They're not uncomfortable to wear, but I still notice the difference. Other than that, a great pair of trainers!
