Abzorb®
is the solution for pure cushioning - absorbing shock and
displacing energy.
The N-ergy S.C. System™ has been engineered to
provide superior heel cushioning with medial and lateral stability
while providing maximum resistance to compression set.
N-ergy ™ 2.0
Thanks to a new asymmetrical three-chamber
design, N-ergy ™ now provides a unique supportive cushioning experience
as it compresses on impact. For additional pronation control, the medial
(inner) chamber is reinforced with an additional stabilizing element
made of Dupont's Hytrel®
N-LOCK® is designed to provide upper midfoot
structure and enhanced support.
Stability Web® delivers superior
support in the midfoot while also reducing the overall weight of the
shoe.
Rollbar can be combined with a TPU
medial and/or lateral post for motion control.
Graphite Rollbar®
Graphite Rollbar® is New Balance's premier
pronation control device. A lightweight flat or molded piece of graphite
material positioned in the heel portion of the midsole, the Graphite
Rollbar provides motion control, prevents excessive pronation and
maximizes rearfoot stability. By stabilizing the foot as it rolls
inward, it provides exceptional support for moderate and severe over-pronators.
Abzorb SBS® is a premium technology
for the performance athlete that offers enhanced cushioning benefits
through
a unique cored design and superior material properties.
TS2® a multi-density medial support
system engineered to provide a smooth transition from heel strike to toe
off.
Our waterproof garments have
treated fabrics with a series of microbe coatings. These pores allow
perspiration vapor to pass without water penetration. These garments are
then completely seam-sealed to ensure 100% waterproofing. To increase
breathability, every waterproof garment has a breathable mesh lining for
accelerated moisture transport.
Water Resistant
Our water-resistant garments
utilize either treated fabrics with a series of microbe coatings or
microdenier fabrics. The micro-pores allow perspiration vapor to pass
without water penetration.
Moisture Management
Our moisture-management garments
are represented by a family of proprietary microfiber materials. This
technology enables the garment to transport moisture away from the skin
to the outer surface of the fabric where it dries quickly, keeping the
body temperature regulated.
Breathable
Our breathable garments utilize
treated polyester fabrication to wick moisture away from the body to the
outer surface for accelerated evaporation.
Windproof
Our windproof garments have
treated microfibers with a series of microprobe coatings. These pores,
along with the tight weave of the microfiber, allow perspiration vapor
to pass without wind penetration. To increase breathability, every
windproof garment has a breathable mesh lining for accelerated moisture
transport.
Thermal
Our thermal garments are
engineered to insulate and capture heat loss. This series of brushed
fabrics uses air pockets that trap heat and retain energy.
Stretch
Our stretch garments are a family
of woven and knit fabrications engineered with spandex to enhance
movement for superior comfort with a performance fit.
UV Proof
UV-proof garments
reduce the risk of skin injury associated with Ultraviolet Radiation
exposure. All fabrications have an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF)
of at least 15 to 50+. All New Balance UV-proof products protect against
UVA "aging rays" and UVB "burning rays" through styling, weave and
chemical enhancement.
When it comes to performance and comfort, nothing is
more important than a properly fitting shoe. Nobody understands or
values this more than New Balance.
That’s why we offer shoes from narrow 2A to extra
wide 6E. New Balance is the only athletic footwear company that
offers every training shoe in multiple widths.
New Balance—making shoes that fit you better since 1906.

Fit Tips
Feet get larger with age. We recommend you have your feet measured
once a year.
Women's feet may become a half size larger or more after pregnancy.
Specific shoes are designed to enhance performance for specific
activities — if you plan to run, don't buy cross trainers — buy running
shoes.
The heel should fit snugly with no slippage.
The mid-foot — the area under the arch and over your instep — should
fit snug and not tight.
The toe-box should have enough room to wiggle your toes.
Your left and right foot may differ by as much as a full size. Measure
both and fit the larger foot.
You can tell your shoes are too small if your feet cramp while running
or just afterwards, if your feet fall asleep while running or if you get
blisters and calluses between your toes.
Give your feet time to adjust to new shoes — walk around casually for
a couple days before working out.
Shoes are built using a foot form called a last (a
simplified model of the human foot). When New Balance designs shoes, nine different foot measurements
are used, to ensure the best possible
fit.
New Balance has developed 18 different lasts that are engineered to
provide a unique fit and size profile—optimized for men, women and kids,
according to their activity and unique foot characteristics, making up
what we call our 360 degree Fit.
Types of Shoe Last
Board Lasted
Board lasted shoes have a sturdy insole board running the entire length of
the foot bed. This type of
construction provides the greatest stability.
Combi-Lasted
Combi-lasted shoes employ slip lasting in the forefoot for enhanced
flexibility and an insole board in the rearfoot to control excess motion.
Strobel Lasted
Strobel lasted shoes are constructed with a thin material acting like a sock
liner stretched along it’s perimeter. This construction provides an
excellent blend of stability and flexibility.
Slip Lasted
Slip lasted shoes are constructed without an insole board. This provides the
greatest flexibility and lightest weight.
Pronation
is simply your normal foot motion - from foot-strike on the outside of the heel
through the inward roll of the foot. Imagine sitting in a chair with both feet
flat on the floor. Keeping your lower leg still, roll your foot back and forth
from its outer edge (little toe side) to its inner edge (big toe side).
Overpronation occurs as the foot rolls from the outer edge to the inner edge.
Supination occurs as it rolls from the inner edge to the outer edge. The foot is
considered Neutral when it is directly below the lower leg and not rolling.
Everyone pronates, and the initial pronation is considered an important and
healthy response to the intense amount of shock imposed upon the foot and is
integral to propelling you forward. If the foot pronates too much (or too
little) and does so on a regular basis, several biomechanical problems may
result that will cause a decrease in performance and increase the possibility of
injury. This is why we consider it critical to design products with varying
degrees of shock absorption and pronation control.
