Founded in 1906 by William J. Riley in Boston, Massachusetts, New Balance started as the New Balance Arch Support Company, specializing in arch supports and other fit aids. Over the years it grew into a global athletic and lifestyle brand, known especially for its running shoes. Key to its identity is its commitment to fit: many models come in multiple widths, and New Balance still operates factories in the U.S. and the U.K. to produce its “Made in USA/UK” lines.
