New Balance to Converse shoe size

The short answer

New Balance 5 is Converse 3 by the two brands' own charts.

Both brands publish the foot length each size is built for, so every row matches a foot, not a label.

Every New Balance size read across to Converse Chuck Taylor. US women's sizes on the left, US men's on the right.

Tinted rows change label or sit between two sizes. Read from the two charts only; no formula and no averaging.

What wearers say

Charts describe a garment. People who own both brands describe a fit, and their answer ranks above this table once five of them stand behind it. Pick your size in the converter to see whether there are enough yet.
