How do I find my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart provided by the retailer or on the official New Balance website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart for the most accurate UK size.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you are referencing the correct UK size chart. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size or consulting New Balance's sizing guide.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creasing is normal with wear. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or cleaner appropriate for white and grey leather. Protectant sprays can help prevent future marks.

Sole feels stiff initially

New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
