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.

Great running shoe. Comfortable and sturdy, but not stiff. It's hard to find a good running show that is made in the USA but this one is.

I ordered and absolutely love these shoes. They are a very cute color combination (I have the black and turquoise pair). They have a nice cushy foot base and they come high enough to the ankle to offer some support (I have weaker type ankles).

U-S-A! U-S-A! You'll be chanting for your country when you where these New Balances that have been made in the USA. These sneaks are wonderful. I ordered both the blue and gray pairs, along with 2 other brands of sneakers with my order. Let's just say that the 2 other brand namers are getting returned. The New Balances are super lightweight, comfy, and make your feet look smaller. I have a mild over pronation and have used them on my first run of the new year. I've also used them to walk around the city and my feet have yet to hurt. You won't be disappointed. And why not support our workers in the USA?!

I'd also recommend: Brooks

These are the best sneakers I've had for a long time. They are very cute, very lightweight, and immediately comfortable. I use them for light exercise and general wear so I don't like shoes that look heavy and klutzy.
