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.

I have made a serious effort in the gym for over a year now, primarily weight training and plyometrics with some use of the cardio machines. I have been using the WX997s for about 3 weeks now, and I have really enjoyed them! They took less than a week to break in, and they are true to size. It is a more narrow shoe than I am used to (I had Pumas before these), but I find the extra snug-ness helps when doing plyos. I saw these shoes in Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine and instantly loved the style & shape of these shoes. These were a great purchase!

Great at first - initially the most comfortable shoes ever. But a month later, the plastic along the heel has worn through the fabric and tears up my foot. I tried a second pair, but the same thing happened. Major design flaw!

I use these shoes for fitness walking, mostly. They're very comfortable, true to size, and look good too!

These are my new indoor workout shoes. I use them for strength class and cardio circuit. I like the lateral support, light weight, and roomy toe box. They are kind of minimal, which I like. Yet the basic support and cushion is there. I also think they look good. I like the color. Thanks for getting them to me so quick!
