Step is the gap against the labelled size below on the same model. A short step means two labels are closer than they look.
What this means when ordering New Balance
The pattern on this make leans large: more measured rows sit over the label than under it. Sizing down is supported by the measurements, but check the step column first — on some models the two labels are so close that sizing down changes almost nothing.
For a full decision rather than a size guess, run the applicability protocol with your order stage, or read the Rung 1 entries if you have not ordered yet.
