Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

M997DBR on sale for $160 on Feature LV. Mostly smaller sizes (5-7.5) and then 11.5 and 13. If you don't already have a pair of these you should absolutely grab them now. Well worth it.

She emailed me back and confirmed that the shoes in the pic are called the Hilltop Blues.
The Hilltop Blues look great, and now I'm excited for the Nighthawks! Good year for J Crew 998s

Here's a closeup. I was kinda bummed they stopped with the pebble blues but these are pretty sick. Curious to see what the Nighthawks are gonna look like.

agreed

i put 997>998
Is the sizing for the 997 as weired as it is for the 998? I usually fall into two categories for sizes, 13 for made in usa and 12 for elite edition asian made but when I tried on the 998 it was too big but not big enough where a 12 wouldnt be too small lol I've been trying to find a pair to try on but there damn hard to find unless you go to a boutique.
 
Went to try on my ARC New Balances I got and didn't know 1300 fit big. They're huge on me! Would need ideally a full size down, i had gone with my tts 12 but it fits to big. Can't even return it back since I got em off eBay smh
Really? The 1300 fits the same as the 574 and 996 for me which is my standard nike size, ideally a 12.5 would be perfect but that size doesn't exist for New Balance lifestyle so i settle with 13 lol
 
I received my 997 Connoisseur Painters today; I wish I would have went TTS. I went 1/2 down and they're snug. Got them off eBay so I just need to make due. I've definitely learned my lesson on sizing for these now. Will go TTS when I get the Guitars.

Thats def a decent price. Well below retail and it seems like pairs at the low price point are slowly drying up. You won't be dissapointed. Leather tongue is super good
