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.

I love these shoes! I have wide feet, and I tend to cramp up with some shoes. These are great for my cross training, and they feel so light on my feet! I can use my energy for the workout, and not to lift my shoes. Plus, the thinner soles allow for more agility - without diminishing comfort. I'll definitely buy these again!

This is a great cross-trainer that works well with a variety of exercises! I've used them for Zumba classes, different workout DVDs and treadmill and elliptical workouts. They are light weight but with plenty of support!

These are so light and heavenly! I have so much trouble finding shoes that work for my crappy feet- they cramp up at the drop of a hat when I am doing impact aerobics. My feet did not cramp up once with these and I did a combination of floor and step aerobics! I absolutely LOVED them!! They are not super cushiony but they worked beautifully! They are also true to size.

Was in need of a training shoe as I only owned running or trail shoes. Wanted something that would be comfortable yet simple, but not exactly minimalist. Overall I'm very happy with the shoe as it is comfortable, very lightweight, and very breathable. There is plenty of room for the foot. If you normally wear a wide, you may find that the medium is just fine for you. I do have to say though that they seem to run about a half size too big, and I could have probably benefited more from an 8 vs the 8.5 for a better fit. Use for Insanity workouts.

I'd also recommend: Saucony

Very nice shoes. I wear them mostly for aerobic class, sometimes for shopping. They are very lightweight, and have good arch support, but not too much. I wear Injinji toe socks with them.
