Its narrow silhouette requires breaking in

One negative feedback about the CT210s is their narrow fit. “Compared to other New Balance Blue-Reds I own and have owned, these [CT210s] ]are very narrow,” explained one sneaker fan. According to a tester, the instep of the Blue-Reds is uncomfortable. “These Blue-Reds will take some serious breaking in before they’re anything close to approaching comfortable,” they added. “The Blue-Red is nice, but it is small. Definitely buy a size up,” advised another sneakerhead. Familiarize yourself with New Balance Blue-Red sizes in this quick guide
