Founded as an arch support company in the early 1900s, New Balance is today’s number four sports footwear manufacturer in the world. Primarily producing athletic shoes for men and women, the New Balance company provides a solid selection of running shoes. One of the more unique aspects of the New Balance operation is the fact that they operate manufacturing bases within a number of their target markets, including the UK.
Running shoes by New Balance are designed to meet the needs of different types of athletes – with supportive cushioning for those who need greater stability, lightweight cushioning for improved flexibility and shoes equipped for running off the beaten path. The company also makes walking shoes as well as cross trainers for men and women. In addition to these lines, New Balance provides a limited collection of athletic shoes designed for children.
Popular men’s New Balance styles include: the MR921BY trail shoe, the MX505WN cross trainer, and the MW749BR walking shoe.
