All over the country, it's Susan G. Komen For the Cure season! Running and walking events are taking place in dozens of cities throughout the summer and fall to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer.  We're proud to be part of the effort.

Since 1989, New Balance has been committed to Susan G. Komen for the Cure through the National Series Sponsorship of the Race for the Cure® and Breast Cancer 3-Day.  The events are terrifically well-organized and supported by countless volunteers, and play out as much like a celebration as an athletic endeavor.  In addition to helping raise money, the events are a very moving opportunity to honor a breast cancer victim or survivor.  If you haven't been part of a Susan G. Komen before, please consider it this season.

If you're participating or just want to look good and do good while spiffing up your active look, check out our Pink Ribbon collection here. New Balance donates 15% of wholesale sales from this collection to Komen for the Cure.

I wanted to let everyone know about a new feature we launched yesterday. It's called the New Balance Shoe Finder and you'll find it right on our home page. I've seen similar features on other Footwear Web Sites but I was always disappointed because I always found that these sites would allow users to choose from possibilities that they didn't really have Shoes for and that resulted in irritating "Sorry No Shoes Found" messages.

• Their Gender


• Available Sizes for their Gender


• Available Widths for their Gender and Size selection

The last 2 elements are the most important to you the customer. Our system was designed to not show you options that don't have matching shoes and so when you select your Gender the Shoe Size Selector will become enabled.

 

After a Size Selection has been made the system will then perform that same type of action and return all available shoe widths that match your Gender and Size selections!

 

Once your selections are made click the "Get Shoes" Link to view all of the possible footwear models based on your criteria.

 

To make it easy we've grouped the results by Category and we've provided you with simple filtering tools so that you can remove the Categories that you do not wish to see.

 

Here's what the filtering options look like for my search which was for Mens, Size 11 and D Width.

 

 

We hope you enjoy the new feature!

If you live in the Baltimore area we just posted a Race that you should check out! Well, there's actually a few races and it's all for a very good cause. Proceeds from the events are going to benefit the Pediatric Oncology department at the Herman & Walter Samuelson Children's Hospital at Sinai where they treat children that have been diagnosed with Cancer.

We've added a new feature here at New Balance Tampa that I think you're all going to like. Multi-View images are now appearing on several New Balance footwear product pages on our site. I say several because creating Multi-View Images happens to be a very time consuming process that requires sending the footwear to a professional photographer. To that end, we have completed Multi-View images for 16 models.
