It fits true to size with an anatomic-like toe box that has a relatively stretchy upper. Nathan: In general, New Balance does a great job with having an accommodating fit in the toe box while staying secure in the heel. Overall, "normal" and "standard" fit this shoe well. I would encourage the use of socks with this upper as there are some seams internally. The security is solid and I have not experienced any slippage. The counter is rounded, so it did not bother me much, but those extremely sensitive should be cautious. The heel fits normally with some mild heel collar cushioning and a moderately stiff heel counter. The midfoot is normal to slightly snug with a normal thickness non-gusseted tongue.
