text: These ran really small. I've owned several pairs of New Balance and always wear an 8.5. These were so short I almost wonder if they were an 8 instead. I had to return them and didn't think to check the size on the label before I sent them back. The arch support and stabilization felt secure and I would have liked them if they had fit. First time I've bought shoes from Amazon and returning was so easy I would consider trying again.
