The 574 is New Balance's most iconic model, known for comfort and timeless versatility. It features retro-inspired design with modern cushioning and comes in dozens of colorways. The 574 works for daily wear, light running, and casual outings.

The 550 is a basketball-inspired silhouette that became a fashion favorite. The 990 is the premium running model known for exceptional quality and comfort. The 1906 is another popular retro silhouette. All three are frequently discounted during sales, though sometimes the newest colorways are excluded.

New Balance shoes fit true to size in most cases. However, New Balance offers a wider fit than many other brands, which is great if you have broader feet. If you have narrow feet, consider going down a half size for a snugger fit.

New Balance carries multiple width options including Narrow, Medium, Wide, and Extra Wide in both men's and women's styles. Each model has a specific size guide available online. For running shoes, leave about half a centimeter of space between your toes and the shoe front to prevent rubbing during activity. When in doubt, check the model-specific size chart before ordering.

Outlet stores carry discounted inventory from previous seasons and overstock items. New Balance Factory Outlet stores typically offer 30% off regular prices, while New Balance Clearance stores may offer even deeper discounts of 40% off or more.

Full-price New Balance stores and the main website carry current season collections at regular pricing. During seasonal sales, full-price locations match the promotions happening online. Interestingly, different outlet locations sometimes have varying prices on identical shoes, so it's worth checking multiple stores if they're nearby.

Yes, outlet purchases can be returned just like regular store purchases. You have 45 days to return items in new condition. Outlet-specific items and clearance merchandise follow the same return policy as full-price items.
