Running shoe size guides

Running shoe fit varies by last shape and purpose — a race-day flat fits very differently from a max-cushion daily trainer. Model-level fit verdicts beat generic brand charts.

Common category questions

Do running shoes run small?

It depends on the brand. Nike running shoes run about half a size small. Brooks and New Balance run slightly large. ASICS, Saucony and On Running fit true to size. Check the model-level guide, not just the brand average.

What is the best running shoe for wide feet?

Brooks and ASICS offer D, 2E and 4E on flagship trainers. New Balance goes up to 6E on select models. Hoka's wide forefoot platform makes standard D more accommodating than narrow-lasted brands.
