Are Nike TNs True to Size? The Complete Sizing Guide for Australia

If you're about to cop a pair of Nike Air Max Plus TNs and you're not sure whether to go true to size or size up, you're not alone. It's one of the most searched questions about the TN — and for good reason. Getting the fit wrong on a $200+ sneaker is a costly mistake.

Here's everything you need to know before you buy.

The Short Answer: Do Nike TNs Run True to Size?

Yes — Nike TNs generally run true to size for most people. If you're a standard width and your foot length matches your usual Nike size, go with your regular size.

That said, there are a few nuances worth knowing depending on your foot shape and the specific colourway you're buying.

Men's Sizing: What to Expect

The Nike Air Max Plus TN uses Nike's standard men's sizing. For most men, your regular Nike size will fit correctly.

A few things to keep in mind:

• The toe box is moderately narrow — if you have wide feet, consider going half a size up
• The heel cup is snug — this is intentional and helps with lockdown during wear
• The shoe does not stretch significantly over time, so don't buy tight expecting it to break in

Our recommendation: Go true to size. If you're between sizes, size up half.

Women's Sizing: What to Expect

Women's Nike TNs also run true to size. The women's-specific colourways (like the Nike Air Max Plus TN Oreo and Nike Air Max Plus TN Brazil) are built on a women's last, so the fit is proportioned accordingly.

Our recommendation: Stick to your regular women's Nike size.

Wide Feet: Should You Size Up?

The TN's upper is structured and doesn't have a lot of give, which can make it feel tight across the midfoot if you have wider feet.

If you have wide feet:

• Go half a size up from your usual Nike size
• Avoid lacing the top eyelet too tight — leaving it loose gives the forefoot more room

Nike TN vs Other Nike Sizing

Compared to other Nike silhouettes:

Sneaker	Sizing
Nike Air Max Plus TN	True to size (narrow toe box)
Nike Air Force 1	True to size (roomy toe box)
Nike Air Max 90	True to size
Nike Free Metcon	True to size (wide fit)

Australian vs US vs UK Sizing

Nike AU uses US sizing, so when you see a size 10 on our site, that's a US 10.

US Men's	US Women's	UK	EU
7	8.5	6	40
8	9.5	7	41
9	10.5	8	42.5
10	11.5	9	44
11	12.5	10	45
12	—	11	46

Still Not Sure? Here's What We Recommend

1. Measure your foot — stand on a piece of paper, trace your foot, and measure the length in cm. Compare to Nike's official size chart.
2. Check your last Nike purchase — if you've bought Nike runners before and they fit well, go the same size.
3. When in doubt, size up half — it's easier to add an insole than to deal with a tight fit.
