Fits small based on
31 customer reviewsWhat customers are saying:
These New Balance 996 sneakers are getting lots of love for their cute, versatile look, neutral colorways, and lightweight feel that works well with everything from casual outfits to spring and summer wear. Customers consistently found them comfortable and stylish, with many saying they’re great for everyday use and longer walks once broken in. A common tip is to size up, since many reviewers said they run small and feel a bit narrow, especially for wider feet. Overall, they seem like a solid pick if you want a slim, classic sneaker with an easygoing vibe.

Comfy and cute
September 16, 2022I usually wear a 7 1/2 but ordered these in a size 8 after reading reviews. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable on long walks. They are probably best for narrow to average width feet. Super cute!

Great, but not WOW.
March 22, 2022I was looking for a cute sneaker for traveling and walking around Europe. After much price/quality/review comparison, ended up going with these. They're super lightweight (especially compared to some ECCO style sneaks). I consistently wear a 6.5, but I did size up to 7 based on the reviews and I'm happy with the fit! I also bought both the Seasalt and Sand styles of the 996. I actually really preferred the Sand, but ultimately it felt a little more 'fall' than spring/summer. They are REALLY close and both super cute! Seasalt is more of a cream undertone, while Sand has a yellow/beige hue.

Nice shoe
February 22, 2022I really like the look of the shoe but for a New Balance it runs very small. Ordered a 7 and will be returning for a 7 1/2.
