I often get the person who states, "I need a good shoe but I have no idea where to start." With all the different categories, models, and shoe technology "jargon" I can certainly see how it can get confusing. So I've decided to do my best at clearing at least a few things up. Over the next few months I'll be posting some informational blogs on some of the things that might be confusing when looking at all of the choices. Each of these informational write-ups will be titles New Balance Shoe Technology. If you've been reading for a while you may have caught the "What's Your Type?" entry that instructs how to find your arch type. That is a good place to start. Also consider the type of activities for which you will be using these shoes. For example, if you are running of course you will want to go with a running model. If you are doing weight training or aerobics and may also incorporate some jogging you would want to choose a versatile cross trainer like the 1210 or the 1010. If you are unsure or don't see your activity listed under the Men's or Women's drop down list on our homepage please contact a member of our product specialist staff either through Shoechat, Email, or by phone at 800-728-6247 and they will be happy to assist you. Once you've chosen the category type of shoe you need you may want to consider the last.
What is a last? 
A shoe last is the 360° plastic, wood, or metal model/form upon which a shoe is constructed. Lasts provide a unique fit and size profile for women, men, and kids. The last along with extensive width sizing, combine to provide the best overall fit in the shoe industry. The Last will give a particular model a general standard or blueprint for heel width, instep height, forefoot width, and toebox depth. The most popular lasts seen throughout New Balance's core models are SL-1, SL-2 and now the new PL-1 last. The link below will take you to a chart detailing each last and the fitting characteristics you can expect from a model made on that particular last. Keep in mind however that the last is just one piece of technology behind New Balance shoes. The material from which the shoe is made, such as leather, mesh, synthetic, along with the features incorporated in the shoe give each model individual fitting characteristics.

Tips for a Comfortable Shoe Fit

Think about your run, not your feet.
 

Since the first Labor Day celebration in the states in New York city in 1882, Americans have been observing the day of rest. We don't all always get to rest on that day but it's been a National Holiday since then nonetheless.  In light of this American holiday I thought I would share with you something I think is pretty amazing in today's economy. New Balance is the only athletic footwear company still making shoes in the United States! In fact at least 25% of New Balance shoes sold in North America are produced right here in the states. Keeping the home fires burning. I'll post a video next week with the styles that have American Pride! Everyone have a safe and happy Holiday Weekend! 

Beauty is found within. Although in the New Balance Eco-Friendly 070 beauty is found all over! Who says you can't have trendy AND eco-friendly? The WE070BG is a trendsetting casual for travels beyond the trail. New Balance "know-how" provides the comfort you're used to in a reduced waste design and water-based adhesives. Seventy-five percent of the uppers are "environmentally preferred materials." The lacing, tongue and other construction of the shoe include recycled polyester. Fewer solvents are used, rice husks are used in the outsole, and water-based adhesives are used throughout the design. The materials and design make this particular model extremely breathable, extremely lightweight, durable, and extremely "green", making my vote for 070 extremely thumbs up! Would that be two thumbs up? Or would extremely include thumbs AND toes up? At any rate you don't have to take my word for it, check them out on our website. NB Eco-Friendly
