If you're unsure, most manufacturers have their own shoe size guide to compare the width and length of your feet to, helping ensure you select the right size. Check out our guide to measuring your feet for more information.

Which sneaker brands run narrow?

As touched on above, New Balance has the largest selection of shoe widths, so naturally, some of the brand's sneakers run purposefully narrow.

You'll also likely find most fabric running shoes are slightly narrower than your average shoes for everyday wear due to brands aiming for lightness and a secure fit whilst you exercise.

With Nike, for example, it mentions its Free shoes often feel a little tighter than you might expect due to internal webbing technology designed to provide a secure lock-in.

Once again, we'd suggest double-checking a size guide and perhaps even the brand in questions FAQs section for more information on whether its shoes run narrow.

How do you return sneakers?

This varies from brand to brand with Nike, for instance, offering an extended 60-day return policy compared to New Balance which only offers free turns up to 30 days after purchase. We'd recommend checking the website in question's FAQs section to find out specific return policy details

To actually make a return, you'll likely need to find the pre-paid returns label that either came with your purchase or is available on the website and attach it to the outer packaging before sending it off via the post. Make sure your shoes are returned in their original packaging unworn and like new for a full return.
