New Balance Athletic Shoes, Inc.
www.newbalance.com/

The story of New Balance begins at the dawn of the 20th century in Cambridge , Massachusetts when William J. Riley, a 33-year-old English immigrant, committed himself to helping people with problem feet by making arch supports and prescription footwear to improve shoe fit.

In 1934, Mr. Riley went into partnership with his leading salesman, Arthur Hall, who was highly successful selling arch supports to "policemen and other folks who were on their feet all day."

Privately held Boston-based New Balance has grown from a small company to an industry leader by remaining committed to teamwork, technological innovation, width-sizing, domestic manufacturing, grassroots promotions, and strong retailer partnerships. Product categories include running, cross-training, walking, basketball, tennis, adventure sports, and kids.

Work and hiking boots, sandals, boat shoes, and rugged casual styles are available through our Dunham Bootmakers division. In Spring 2003, new leisure styles will be introduced under the recently acquired PF Flyers brand.
