Do New Balance 550s run big? The answer is no, they generally run true to size. However, due to their narrow fit, people with wider feet might want to consider sizing up half a size for maximum comfort.

Tips for choosing the right size:

  • Make sure to measure your feet and compare them to the New Balance size chart.
