New Balance began as a Boston-based arch support company in the early 1900s, developed into a specialized manufacturer of shoes in the 1970s, and has grown to become a leading global athletic products company. Today New Balance is a family of brands including New Balance, Dunham, PF Flyers, Aravon, Warrior and Brine.

Since the days of selling arch supports to police officers and waiters, New Balance has been a brand concerned with meeting the needs of the everyday athlete. In pursuing this goal, they developed an "Endorsed By No One" philosophy, which holds that a superior product will sell itself better than any superstar athlete ever could. Part of producing New Balance shoes and athletic clothing is manufacturing it to fit all widths and sizes, because a better fit produces better performance.

To ensure the best fitting, best performing shoes and clothes, New Balance focuses on improving their technology and production methods. A big part of that is maintaining five manufacturing facilities here in the United States where they continue to produce New Balance shoes and apparel that meet the standards they've employed for 100 years. They have also remained committed to a core set of values that include integrity, teamwork and total customer satisfaction.

Not a good shoe if you are on your feet all day! They run hot too, little to no ventilation through the vinyl.

I used to wear the 631, the similar non-slip shoe that NB no longer makes. Since I was forced to now buy this shoe, I obediently forked over my hard-earned money having some trust in the New Balance brand, due to the fact that I have been impressed with about 4 other styles of NB sneakers. I noticed the tight fit right away, my right foot is bigger than my left by a few millimeters, so when that shoe is tight, I know the size is off. I like EE width to give room for my toes to spread out a little, the width is snug with this shoe, unlike other NB EE sneakers I have owned. The sole is not as soft or as flexible as the 631, and it seems like they have really cut corners to save on materials without lowering the price, for instance there is now a "dent" where the sole does not contact the ground (ironically there are still non-slip tread inside this dent) - the 631 had a flat sole and an extended heel which had much more surface area in contact with the ground, which seems safer to me than this new design. Additionally, I had to supplement the inadequate thin foam insert that comes standard, with Dr. Scholls gel. Finally, the design is unsightly, the shape and profile of the shoe are unappealing and make me feel like a dork when I wear them. I hate these shoes, and really don't know what other choice there is - I guess I can go to Sears and get their ugly non-slip cheap shoes for crews, because what's the difference anymore?

The shoe is very comfortable. I have back problems and these shoes make it easier to be on my feet all day without the pain.
