. . . New Balance company was founded in 1906 in Belmont, Massachusetts, USA. In the beginning, the company made special order orthopedic shoes, but over time New Balance began to receive requests from athletes to make running shoes fitted to the foot. As news went out nation-wide and world-wide about the company which produced footwear fitted to every individual foot, orders began increasing and, after a few decades, sport shoes production became a basic element of New Balance’s expansion.

In 1976 the company was bought by James "Jim" S. Davis who today is the sole owner and company president. That moment began a very dynamic development of a company that just 4 years later introduced shoe style #320 which became the number 1 in the market and ushered New Balance into the small group of the best shoes producers in the world. This success helped New Balance to expand their entire footwear collection, with all categories concentrating on quality of appearance and comfort and, of course, on production of all styles in multiple widths and two looks.

A few years later, in answer to a retailer’s suggestion, New Balance decided to add a more modern and trendy design to its technical achievements in footwear production. Thus in 1997 the a company achieved fifth place among the best companies in the world in the athletic shoe category and since 1999 is in fourth place.

At a the time when other companies felt a deep crisis - New Balance maintained its dynamic position one of the "hottest" brands in the world. New Balance became a pioneer in introducing technical achievements in footwear production. New Balance’s position as the fourth in the world in terms of producing and selling athletic footwear belies its 1985 position in 17th place. New Balance overcame its competition by using up-to-date technological achievements to improve quality and comfort. The points of discrimination that New Balance provided to retailers were quality, comfort, multiple widths. Products were targeted not just at youth but also for older consumers looking for comfortable, durable and aesthetic shoes.
