Does the New Balance 530 fit true to size?


The first thing to notice is the wide range of sizes for each sneaker. New Balance produces:

- Women's models from EU 35 to EU 45.5

Another striking feature is that shoppers can not only choose the length of the shoes, but also the width of the new New Balance sneakers. This is what makes New Balance so special compared to other brands.

Is the New Balance brand good?


New Balance is one of the few brands that still produces in the USA. Two of their factories are located in Massachusetts and three in Maine. They also have one in the UK (Flimby), and China has also become a contract production site for T-shirts and other sportswear.

New Balance says they stand for much more than just sneakers. They stand up for those who fearlessly follow their passions and therefore promote sport. They also want to do the right thing for people and the environment by driving meaningful change in communities worldwide. "It's about today".

The "Made in USA" shoes in particular are produced by 219 workers in a historic brick building on the banks of the Merrimack River. This includes the New Balance 990 in particular, but also other sports shoes and personalised sneakers from the NB1 range.
