Question 1

Is New Balance known for its fit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that’s one of its strongest points. New Balance often offers wider sizing options than most brands, and most models fit true to size, making them ideal if you’re looking for a good fit.

Question 2

Which New Balance model should I buy first?

Accepted Answer

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’re after premium quality, the 990 series is the benchmark.

Question 3

Why does the price of the same New Balance vary so much from shop to shop?

Accepted Answer

Popular colourways become scarce, and shops price them differently. Solezilla compares the same model across dozens of shops, so you don’t overpay for the colour you want.

Question 4

Which style does New Balance suit?

Accepted Answer

New Balance leans towards casual and normcore, but the retro runners work just as well with smart trousers as they do with denim. Comfort that looks polished.

Question 5

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.
