Did you know that when you have back pain, knee pain, ankle pain or leg pain, sports doctors may first ask you about your running shoe and try to determine whether you are wearing the correct athletic shoe.

According to this article, Dr. Andrew Concoff states, "Appropriate footwear is essential."

If these particular pains are not in need of surgery or other serious measures, doctors will often suggest a patient to find an elite specialty store. New Balance stores will have a trained fitting staff to evaluate a customer's foot to suggest the right shoe.

Often times wearing the proper shoe can be all you need to take away non-serious sports related pains.

Some other info that may help when it comes to fitting and choosing the correct shoe for you:

I'm really not drinking the Kool Aid. New Balance just keeps doing super nice things for people all around the world. They're setting the standard in my opinion.

Go read about the 3 year sponsorship the under 21 netball team received in South Africa.

Said Carin Strauss, "Because we've been traveling a few times with old clothes and that can get you down when you see the fully-sponsored Australian and New Zealand teams you're supposed to play against."

Recognizing that you can make a difference and actually making a difference aren't the same. New Balance makes a difference.

When was the last time you read an article about Nike doing something good for the community? New Balance does it every single week.

The Morning Sentinel published a story on June 30th that went unnoticed by me until this morning. New Balance pledged $87K to the Boys & Girls Club and YMCA at the Alfond Youth Center to fund programs that help combat childhood obesity.

There's an interesting debate taking place on Club New Balance.

If a player is caught using steroids should he or she be banned for life?

I say you bet, ban em for life! They're cheating for more money which is essentially stealing. 57% agree with me, join in the debate

It's all about good sportsmanship!

It's all about the 10 Habits of Good Sportsmanship:

1) Play by the rules of the game
2) Never fight
3) Be a team player
4) Give everyone a chance to play
5) Always play fair, never cheat
6) Listen to the coach
7) Be nice to the other team
8) Encourage and support your teammates
9) Respect the decision of the referee or umpire
10) Win or lose play it cool at the end of the game

You come up with the 11th for a chance to win! http://sportsmanship.newbalance.com/

Is coming up this week. Here's the race site and here's the donation site.

This is yet just another example that New Balance gets that feet come in all shapes and sizes.

New Balance Debuts for Love or Money Advertising Campaign.

We would like to say that our thoughts and prayers go out to all Londoners and their families after today's tragic events.

My thoughts go to the New Balance United Kingdom website. A series of pictures flash every couple seconds across their homepage.

The picture that clutched my heart is the picture of a runner passing a banner that says "Love is the answer" and another banner, "Peace, Salam, Shalom".

May peace be with you all tonight.

Need some ideas to get fit and live in one of these cities: Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.?

New Balance sponsors an online resource with MSN called "Fit in the City" listing local information and fitness events in these cities.

As America celebrates the fourth of July, many Americans are becoming more involved in supporting USA jobs by only buying American Made Products.

According to this article, American-made products can be hard to find,
there is a strong desire by Americans to purchase USA made products. However, it is not always easy to find what they need. It takes a lot of research, but with the internet, it has become easier to locate these products.

Roger Simmermaker, author of "How Americans Can Buy American" said in this article, "I wrote the book because I got frustrated because I was looking for a shirt made in the USA and ... I couldn't find one. I was surprised how difficult it was to buy American."

In his book, he lists 16,000 products Made in the USA.

Shimmermaker suggests that “Made in the USA” athletic shoes are hard to find. He suggests New Balance products who makes about 30 percent of its shoes in the United States.
