New Balance Sneaker Commitment to American Workers.

"Committed to American Workers

New Balance proudly relies on our manufacturing associates to produce a quarter of our overall footwear production or 7,000,000 pairs of athletic shoes in the U.S. each year. We made our first pair of running shoes in 1938, and hold the distinction as the only company that still manufactures athletic shoes in the U.S. As a company, we are proud to invest in American workers who provide some of the greatest working spirit, commitment to advancement and ingenuity known in the industrial world. For us, Committed to American Workers is more
than a slogan or viewpoint – it is the heart and “sole” of our company. New Balance has proven that high quality athletic footwear can be made by Americans for discriminating consumers. We are proud of our heritage of domestic manufacturing and our strong commitment to
American workers.

Many New Balance shoes are produced by our U.S. workforce using
U.S. and imported materials. When possible, we obtain materials from domestic suppliers. At times, dues to availability, economic or quality reasons, there is a need to import components from foreign sources.

Where the domestic value is at least 70%, we have labeled the shoe “Made in USA.” Where it falls below 70%, we have qualified the label referencing domestic and imported materials. This determination is based in part on the Federal Trade Commission’s survey of consumers.
The FTC’s analysis of the “Made in USA” issue can be found at FTC.gov or for a copy, write to New Balance, 20 Guest Street, Boston, MA, 02135, Attn: Communications.
