How New Balance Sneakers Are Made | The Making Of

[@Ivehadenuff]

My sister worked for New Balance and was treated very well. We are a New Balance family, though it’s been years since she worked there.

[@ChapinDionne]

Unfortunately, security is a bit of a questionable factor in this case. A few years ago, a young man was robbed on a beach in Amsterdam when someone tried to steal his Rolex watch, which turned out to be fake. This is a sad story. The thief does not know (at first glance) whether the item is real or fake, but the most important thing is that replicating bags can save a lot of money, *condupcom* provides high cost performance and at the same time, you can spend the money elsewhere, easing the economy burden

[@Tonyhouse1168]

As a bartender and handyman, I’m on my feet a lot. I whole-heartedly endorse new balance shoes; worn them exclusively for years and they do the job and never wear out

[@Adam-fw9cl]

Which model do you recommend?

[@blackjackool]

My most comfortable shoe ever was a New Balance too, and it was a cheap one too.

[@ChapinDionne]

Growing up in New York, I would always see women on Park Avenue buying the same fake stuff from street vendors. Nowadays, it has developed to the point where everyone is buying on *condupcom* , and there is nothing wrong with this.

I love a company that is proud of what it makes.

Not only that,but New Balance shoes are made in the U.S. Most other shoe companies make their shoes in China or just other countries. I buy New Balance because they are U.S. made and I like them. Comfortable shoes

[@shekoken]

Pasta Chocolate not all new balances are made in the US. The high end running shoes that cost over 150 bucks are made in the US. But majority of the lower model of new balances are made in either in Vietnam or Indonesia and it of course, China.

[@josephfades]

I’ve been wearing NB for YEARS because they’re so comfortable and very affordable. They’ve become more stylish and the current styles are up to date to today’s standards. When it comes to reliability they last a long time compared to my Nike or Adidas which the material tends to tear or the bottom sole tends to fade away quicker.

No damage plastic adidas . I Like NB

40 is "Control" aka Motion control or optimal control. The 840 is oddly an exception to this rule and is a neutral cushioning shoe. Many of the shoes don't have numbers so you have to look at the tech sheet to see which category if falls under.

[@gibbethoskins8621]

They are just insanely comfortable and so well made, that's why they have become popular. I've had a pair of New Balance for 2 years, the sole is hardly worn and they still look and feel like new with just some general care and cleaning.

New Balance is either Made in USA, England and Vietnam.

Just add $100 to it if you're looking for that are made in US or add 75 Euros that made in UK.

[@iamconfusion1791]

I remember my parents got me a pair of New Balances from Modell's way back when in middle school, and my sister was making fun of them, saying they were whack and nobody liked those shoes. As an adult, I came to realize that name brand really doesn't matter, what matters is the practicality and durability. Is the sneaker going to last? Can it weather the elements? Is it made well? Is it worth the price? Many products are known based on how popular people make them, but popularity has never been part of my life. I wear and use what's comfortable and fitting for my lifestyle and taste. I'm not going to run out and buy a pair of New Balances, but I am going to continue to wear shoes that are comfortable for my feet and wallet.

[@YeahNaw]

Long time sneakerhead here, and just like any hobby, we love the sneakers for the history attach to them, as much as the craftsmanship. Similar to a piece of art. The reason why NB was left in the dust for so long is because there was little to no historical impact that was made by the brand, e.g. major superstars or celebrities wearing them. NB was never hyped, even today they don’t get much attention in contrast to other brands. But real sneakerheads always had respect for NB, because they wear what they like, not what others thinks is cool. And sneakerheads knows that NB are comfortable as shit.

[@noelrios9320]

Been wearing them since I learned they were the only company that still made shoes in America and that was 10 years ago.

[@midnightfun1277]

Hopefully more ppl do. This creates job and eliminates forced child labour. And plus out of all my shoes nb are the most durable and quality does retain even after so many years. None of my nike or adidas can do that.
