Is New Balance known for its fit?

Yes, that's one of its strengths. New Balance often offers wider size options than most brands and most models fit true to size, ideal if you're looking for a good fit.

Which New Balance model is best to buy first?

The 574 is a great place to start: timeless, comfortable and affordable. If you want a more hyped model, look at the 327 or 9060; if you want premium quality, the 990 series is the benchmark.

Why does the price of the same New Balance vary so much between shops?

Popular colorways become scarce and shops price them differently. Solezilla compares the same model across dozens of shops so you don't overpay for the color you want.

What style does New Balance suit?

New Balance leans toward casual and normcore, but the retro runners look just as good with smart trousers as with denim. Comfort that looks put-together.

What is the most popular New Balance sneaker?

Right now the New Balance 1906R “Protection Pack” (M1906DE) is the most sought-after New Balance, with a Hypescore of 88 GSv.
