New Balance 9060 Sizing: Does the 9060 Fit True to Size?

Quick answer: Yes. The New Balance 9060 fits true to size for most people, so order your normal sneaker size. It has a roomy toe box and a wide base, which makes it a good pick for wide feet. If you have very narrow feet or a narrow heel, you can go down half a size for a snugger fit. If you're between sizes, go with the smaller size if your feet are narrow and the bigger size if they're wide.

The 9060 sits on a big, chunky sole. New Balance built it with ABZORB and SBS cushioning (two types of soft, shock-absorbing foam) and a wide base under your foot. That wide base is why the shoe feels so roomy inside.

• Wide-foot friendly: Shoes like the Nike Dunk narrow at the toe. The 9060 doesn't, so your feet have room to spread out over a long day.
• Same size as other New Balance: If you wear a 10.5 in the New Balance 2002R or 550, get a 10.5 in the 9060. You'll just notice more wiggle room in the toes.

Here's how to pick your 9060 size if you know your size in other popular sneakers:

• adidas Samba or Gazelle: Wear the same size. If you wear a 10 in the Samba, get a 10 in the 9060. The 9060 will feel wider.
• Nike Air Force 1: The Air Force 1 runs a little big, so many people go down half a size. If you wear a 9.5 in Air Force 1 because of that, go back to your true size (a 10) in the 9060.
• Nike Air Max and Dunk: Wear the same size. The 9060 will feel roomier, especially in the toes.

• Flat feet: The wide sole gives you a big, stable base, which helps keep your foot from rolling. Stick with your true size.
• High insteps: The 9060 has plenty of room over the top of the foot, so it won't press down like tighter sneakers. Stick with your true size.
• Wide feet: Your true size usually works. Many wide-footed shoppers find the 9060 is one of the most comfortable New Balance lifestyle shoes.
• Narrow feet: Try going down half a size, or use the top eyelet to lace a "runner's loop" that holds your heel in place.
• Women's sizing: Many 9060s come in men's (unisex) sizes. Women usually go down 1.5 sizes from their women's size. For example, a women's 8.5 is about a men's 7.

JD Expert Question: The 9060 feels roomy. Should most people size down?

JD Expert Answer: No. Most people should stay with their usual size. The extra room is in the width, not the length, so sizing down can make your toes hit the front. Only size down if you have narrow feet and the heel still slips after you lace up snugly. Try them on with the socks you'll wear most.

• Does the New Balance 9060 run big or small? It fits true to size in length but feels roomy in width. Most people should order their normal size.
• Should I size down in the New Balance 9060? Only if you have narrow feet or a narrow heel. Going down half a size can give a snugger fit.
• Is the New Balance 9060 good for wide feet? Yes. Its wide sole and roomy toe box make it one of the best New Balance lifestyle shoes for wide feet.
• Is the 9060 sized the same as the 550 or 2002R? Yes, the length is the same. The 9060 is roomier than the 550, which runs snug.

• For most people: Order your true size. The 9060 is roomy and comfortable right out of the box.
• For narrow feet: Go down half a size, or lace through the top eyelet for a better heel hold.
