Let me know what you do with that hour.

Check out these inspirational stories about everyday athletes and get motivated for the week ahead. Who knows maybe you'll have your own story to tell to New Balance.

Club New Balance Everyday Athlete Stories

I received my December issue of Runner’s World today. If your looking for new running shoes, this issue features the Winter 2005 Running Shoe Review.

The testers liked the soon to be releasedNew Balance 719 for a supportive stability shoe noting that the 719 were full of support, were stable and allowed plenty of room in the arch.

The testers also liked the New Balance 816, especially for runners with low to flat arches looking for serious motion control. They especially liked the lacing system in this model and that the shoes felt light but still offered lots of support. The 816’s are the updated version of the 815’s. This model is due in any day.

I'll keep you updated on the arrival of these 2 great running shoes.

Coming any day now, this patent pending line of shoes from New Balance for little infants and toddlers.

The patent that is pending is the ½-Sizer. These little n shoes come with a heel insert that when removed will give your little one a 1/2 size room to grow. This means you won't have to buy shoes as often because we all know that these little guys grow their shoes out before they wear them out! I'll keep you posted as to when these little n shoes arrive here at New Balance Tampa.

In the meantime, check them out at

Just in, replacing the W815WT, the W816WT.

The New Balance 816 running shoe is available in 2A, B, D and 2E widths for women with ABZORB in heel and forefoot for shock absorption, PU Post for maximum motion control and Rollbar GR Midsole for maximum pronation control.

For those of you following the Tampa Bay Breast Cancer 3-day walk;
It all began for 2,200 people early on a rainy Friday morning and the walk wrapped up on Sunday at the Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New Balance Tampa was there for the entire day enjoying the celebration at their booth which was loaded with gear from the New Balance Pink Ribbon collection. We also handed out Breast Cancer 3-Day Journals and coupons for those worn out tired shoes!

Way to go Tampa Bay, this group raised over 5 million dollars for breast cancer research.

One Walkers Journey:

The New Balance Foundation, has donated $4,000 to help the Massachusetts Animal Coalition bring to Massachusetts dogs who have survived Hurricane Katrina. The coalition’s goal is to get as many of these dogs who are malnourished and with minor wounds, well and find them temporary homes. Since these dogs did not have identification tags it is unlikely that they will be reunited with their owners.

The New Balance Women’s running recovery shoe, the 801, has been such a great shoe to hang out in.

On Dr. Phil yesterday, Dr. Phil and New Balance gave every mom in his audience a hip New Balance sweat suit.

Since they answered the New Balance advertising question: Do you play for Love or For Money? According to this article, a Marblehead High School says they play for the love of the game. If you plan on being on a sports team at this high school, be ready to sign a contract stating that you agree to meet a set of behavior standards if you want to be a part of their team.

Perhaps the For Love or Money Advertising campaign is shaking things up, causing people to question what being on a team really means!

More blogs on For Love or Money:

New Balance has come out with a new Men's walking shoe on a SL-2 last. It is similar to the 925 but a dressier casual walking shoe. It is great for wearers of orthodics and diabetics because of the roomy, high toe box.
