NEW BALANCE

New Balance Shoes for Kids & Adults

Discover New Balance at baby enRoute: a brand where running heritage meets everyday style and sport-focused design. Independent since 1906, New Balance brings its emphasis on craftsmanship and fit to footwear for children and adults, from classic sneakers to shoes created for active days and time on court.

Finding your pair starts with how you move. Consider everyday sneakers for casual outfits, kids' shoes with a closure they can manage, or sport-specific footwear for tennis and pickleball. Compare the intended use, size, width and fastening on each product page; cushioning, materials and fit options differ between styles.

New Balance: Fit & Buying Questions

How do I choose the right New Balance size for my child?

Measure both feet while your child is standing and use the longer measurement with the New Balance kids' size chart. Check whether the shoe uses toddler, little-kid or big-kid sizing rather than choosing by age alone. If the measurement falls between sizes, New Balance recommends the larger size. Recheck fit as your child grows.

Are all New Balance shoes wide fitting?

No. New Balance offers different widths in selected styles, but a standard-width pair is not automatically a wide fit. Check the width of the exact pair you are ordering as well as its length. Width labels differ between kids', women's and men's shoes, and not every style or colour is available in every width.

Which New Balance kids' closures are easiest to use?

Hook-and-loop straps let you open and adjust a shoe without tying a knot. Some styles combine stretchy bungee laces with a strap or toggle, while traditional laces offer an adjustable fit for children who can tie them. Look at the individual shoe's fastening and choose one your child can use securely and comfortably.

Should I choose everyday sneakers or tennis and pickleball shoes?

Choose for the activity, not just the silhouette. New Balance's casual sneakers and court shoes serve different purposes. For tennis or pickleball, look for a shoe identified for that sport and check its outsole, court-surface suitability and fit. A running-inspired appearance does not by itself mean a sneaker is designed for court play.
