While New Balance has made it their personal mission for over a century to help athletes achieve their goals, they do not need to spend money on celebrity endorsements. Instead they invest the money they saved from letting their product sell itself on research and development to continue offering athletes what they need.

The specific model that Dunn trusted during his Olympic run is currently not being sold anymore, but that is only because improved models have taken its place. Both men’s and women’s shoes are available with all the amenities of comfort cushioning, flexibility, and support all wrapped up in a lightweight stylish design. Choose from many colors including black, white, pink, or brown, and your preferred closure method, traditional laces, Velcro, or webbed elastics.

Specific models focus on being extra cushioned, built for stability, and even models that are weather resistant for the walkers who stray from the path. New Balance also recognizes that feet come in all shapes and sizes. For this reason, walking shoes are available in wider and narrower models. Also, the descriptions help in sizing be addressing whether the model is true to size, or if it tends to run larger or smaller. New Balance walking shoes aim to accommodate the athlete in everyone.
