The history of New Balance from a manufacturer of orthopedic shoes to a manufacturer of sports shoes

New Balance was born in Boston, U.S.A., in 1906. Originally a manufacturer of arch support insoles and corrective footwear for flat feet, the company was founded by William J. Riley. The brand name was derived from the idea of bringing a sense of “new” and “balance” to the wearer. In the 1960s, the company began manufacturing custom-made running shoes, taking advantage of its expertise in foot anatomy, orthopedics, and exercise physiology as a manufacturer of orthopedic shoes. Later, the current president, James S. Davis, who purchased the brand, developed “Instep Lacing,” a mechanism for sneakers with a natural shape that does not burden the foot, which he created by running himself, in order to manufacture the ideal running shoes. By developing shoes that use this mechanism, the company gained tremendous support from many runners.
