The 327 in Sea Salt and the season's colors, the 530 and 9060 for the chunkier silhouette, the 574 Core for every day, the 1906R and 740 for the technical retro-runner line, plus the 204L and 471 — men's, women's and unisex, sizes 5 to 13 in half sizes.

New Balance has made shoes in New England since 1906 and still builds the 990-series in the US, but the pairs on our wall are the lifestyle line: the 327's oversized N and wedge sole from the '70s, the 530 from the '90s running line, the 9060 that reworked the 990's lines into something bigger. They wear with denim, with Vuori joggers, with a Faherty shirt — which is why it's the sneaker that doesn't need an outfit built around it.
Fit: New Balance runs true and slightly roomy — the usual recommendation when Sambas feel narrow. The 9060 has the widest forefoot; the 327 is the slimmest. Each product page shows the sizes on hand, and the sneaker wall puts New Balance next to adidas, On and Oncept.
Questions we get about New Balance
Which New Balance is most comfortable for standing all day?
The 9060 — the most cushion and support of what we carry. The 574 is lighter and a little firmer; the 327 is the flattest.
Do New Balance run big or small?
True to size for most people. Between sizes, go down in the 9060 and up in the 327.
