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.

Ordered both the 8 and 8.5 and found I liked the smaller size better. Great for lifting and using cardio machines such as elliptical. Not a lot of cushion between my foot and the floor, so I wouldn't recommend them for high impact activities. Very cute shoes, though!

Very comfortable fit, however, the sole seems very thin. It you were to wear these while doing an exercise that involved jumping there doesn't seem to be much padding. Probably OK for low impact or strictly weight training. Super cute! Just wish they felt more padded under the foot.

I love, love, love these shoes! I'm a step aerobics instructor and they are the best shoes I've worn for my classes and other aerobics classes I participate in. They're very comfortable (I have wide feet) and they offer solid lateral support for those types of moves. I have definitely recommended these shoes to the ladies who take my classes and I hope New Balance continues to produce shoes of this type!!!

This shoe saved my feet! I was wearing regular NB running shoes while doing an intense P90X workout regimen. Big mistake because it caused a lot of foot pain in my right foot. A friend told me about these shoes and no more foot pain. They are perfect for P90X and cardio workouts.They also offer great stability through Plyometrics which is high impact jump training. Can't wait to see how they hold up to Insanity. ;-)

I bought these shoes because I needed shoes for Zumba! My friend got them at the store and liked them so I searched Zappos and found them at a cheaper price! Zappos provided quick, free shipping! I love the shoes, too!

When I first tried these shoes on and wore them around the house I was not that impressed. Then I wore them to boot camp. I've been wearing them for a few weeks now and they are great. I was worried that there didn't seem to be enough cushioning, but I haven't noticed a problem during workouts. The stability in these shoes is awesome. I just ordered a pair of the 871s for my husband as well, best workout shoes I've had.
