Christmas Gift Guide: shoes by New Balance

December 4, 2010 By Stephanie

Christmas Gift Guide: shoes by New Balance 1Think of someone who is really hard to shop for. REALLY hard. Do you have a picture of their face in your mind?

I have a gift idea for you: athletic shoes. Tennis shoes make a great gift for most anyone – athletic or not. They’re equally likely to be used by kids, teens, college students, moms, grandpas, brothers, runners, or trying-to-lose-weight-ers.

Who doesn’t love the feel of a nice NEW tennis shoe – squashy, supportive, and oh-so-comfortable?

Christmas Gift Guide: shoes by New Balance 2I am pleased to introduce you to the truebalance toning collection by New Balance – available for both men and women. The colorful tennies in this collection use hidden balance board technology that encourages muscle activation in the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and quads. Fortunately, they don’t look weird nor do they require a great sense of balance. They just look and feel like normal running shoes…wonderful.

And don’t forget the kids on your list! They’re SURE to make good use of shoes that let them run, walk, bounce, and jump.

    My daughter and I would love to win these shoes. She is only five, but is really tall and is already wearing big kid size 2. I can’t keep her in shoes very long, so I haven’t bought her many nice pairs of shoes. I think her growth is starting to slow down a little, though, so it would be wonderful to win some great new shoes!

    December 11, 2010 at 10:42 pm

    Wow, would love to win these as I need a new pair for my daily walks. I can’t believe how many different styles that they have! Thanks for the chance! :)

    New Balance shoes last! I haven’t seen their toning ones until now. They look much better than the other ones that are on the market. I am not really hard to buy for…but I usually put everyone else before me on the shoe list. lolI wear my shoes for far longer than I need to because there is just not any extra $$$ with this economy and I would really use them. I also have a young neighbor girl that I would help out with a pair.

    Those all look like such nice, sturdy shoes. My kids have a way of ruing them too quickly!

    I have New Balance shoes for working out,, but not the toning shoes. I would love to have them.

    My mother loves her New Balance shoes. She had trouble with her feet before. That is all she wears now.

    I love NB shoes, they’re so comfortable. I’d love to get a matching pair for me and my daughter. =)

  8. DanV says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:25 pm

    We could use new shoes and New Balance fit us well

    December 11, 2010 at 9:09 pm

    I started walking 5 times a week finally after years of saying I should… I feel great but I definitely need some new shoes! these look great!

    December 11, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    I started wearing New Balance shoes this year. Love them. It’s about time for a new pair so the drawing couldn’t have come at a better time. The kids would look good in them as well. :)

  12. Shannon says

    December 11, 2010 at 8:46 pm

    I’ve never had a pair of New Balance shoes but I’d like to try these

  13. Christine says

    tried New Balance and they’re wonderful

  14. Jason says

    December 11, 2010 at 8:40 pm

    My wife has been wanting a pair of lightweight “tone-up” type shoes – and the New Balance name means that you are getting a high-quality product!

  15. R Hicks says

    December 11, 2010 at 8:11 pm

    Isn’t this an interesting shoe! Get a workout effortlessly! I am a big New balance fan and love their look. They are also higher quality.

    This would be the perfect gift for my sister and her son. She is always so hard to buy for. Her son would love them =) Kellyeandjosh@aol.com

  17. Lisa L says

    December 11, 2010 at 7:51 pm

    I’ve hear New Balances were good for people with foot issues but I havent tried them before. I’ve been eyeing the truebalance toning shoes though, I wonder if they work!

  18. loni says

    December 11, 2010 at 6:52 pm

    I am going to start running outside, so these shoes would be great to start with….

  19. Jean F says

    December 11, 2010 at 6:40 pm

    Walking is part of my regular exercise program. Shoes that would help me get a better workout would be fantastic.

  20. Sharon says

    December 11, 2010 at 6:23 pm

    Muscle activation in a good looking shoe. Sounds good! My husband likes New Balance Shoes.
    Thanks!

  21. Dana says

    December 11, 2010 at 5:38 pm

    I have never owned a pair of New Balance shoes but , I would definitely like to try them. I like that they don’t look like you are walking on cement blocks. I just can’t get into those other shoes. Thank you for the chance!

  22. Rosey says

    December 11, 2010 at 5:33 pm

    I thinking parent/child matching shoes are a hoot, I love it!

  23. ChrisH says

    December 11, 2010 at 5:25 pm

    Oooh I need a new pair of shoes. These look great and tone too.

  24. ewhatley says

    December 11, 2010 at 4:33 pm

    My sneakers are just about at the end of their life. Would be great to have these new ones. Thanks for this great offering.

  25. Diane Baum says

    December 11, 2010 at 4:20 pm

    Both my huggy and I wear New Balance shoe, because of major feet problems. We buy them once a year at their July sale and just keep our fingers crossed that they have a few pairs left on the clearance table in our sizes-since otherwise we can’t afford them.

  26. GeorgiaMist says

    December 11, 2010 at 4:14 pm

    I have short, wide feet and high arches — so the proper fit and good support are a must for me. That’s one reason I’ve worn NB shoes in the past and would love a new pair!

    Thank you!

    I’ve had my eye on some NB shoes for a long time but never found room for them in my budget- maybe now I can get them. Yay!

    I recently started a new job that requires me to wear scrubs and tennis shoes. A lot of my co-workers have New Balance and they love them.

  29. Geri Graves says

    Mama needs a new pair of New Balance shoes. My old ones are about ready to be put out to pasture.

  30. Priscilla says

    December 11, 2010 at 3:21 pm

    I own a pair of Sketcher’s toning shoes and I absolutely love them. I use them everyday for work. I workout using my New Balance tennis shoes (my favorite tennis shoe brand), so I would absolutely love to combine the comfort of New Balance with the toning power of toning shoes. And yes, I have seen toning in my legs since beginning to use toning shoes a year ago.

    December 11, 2010 at 2:12 pm

    I am getting ready to start the hunt for new shoes for my daughter and I and have heard nothing but great things about New Balance. I think it is high time we give up the cheapies and finally get a decent pair of tennis shoes!

  32. Erica C. says

    December 11, 2010 at 2:09 pm

    I’ve been wondering about these toning shoes…if they’ll actually help…but hey anything is better than nothing! These look great.

  33. Lydia says

    December 11, 2010 at 2:00 pm

    My running shoes are getting old and I’m in the market for a new pair. As someone who runs, how many different brands and styles have you used? How does New Balance compare to the rest?

    • Stephanie says

      December 20, 2010 at 10:23 pm

      I’ve tried New Balance, Mizuno, Nike, Asics, and Vibram FiveFingers. New Balance and Mizuno have been my two favorite brands.

  34. Britty says

    December 11, 2010 at 1:46 pm

    I have been dying to get a pair of these. New Balance is very good quality so I would prefer buying a toning sneaker from them as opposed to competing companies. Awesome prize!

  35. Rachel R. says

    December 11, 2010 at 1:42 pm

    I’ve been dying to try a pair of these toning shoes, and these New Balance ones look a little more stylish than the rest. I’m a nurse and work 12 hour shifts where I’m on my feet quite a bit, so I would get a lot of use out of these.

  36. Tiffany says

    December 11, 2010 at 1:38 pm

    I have been wanting a pair of toning shoes. I love that these look great, not strange looking like some other brands!

  37. Mrs. Froh says

    December 11, 2010 at 1:36 pm

    The only pair of New Balance shoes I’ve ever worn were borrowed from a friend. She would have let me keep them, if it weren’t for the fact they were her back-up running shoes for when the ones she was wearing croaked out.

    But man were those the best shoes I’ve ever worn while exercising at the gym.

  38. Carol G says

    December 11, 2010 at 12:28 pm

    I don’t think I have had a pair of New Balance shoes, but certainly am willing to try them.

  39. carol says

    December 11, 2010 at 11:56 am

    Well I need more balance in my life – so what better than to win a pair of shoes from new balance. Dying to try the toning shoes.

  40. Joy says

    December 11, 2010 at 11:36 am

    I’ve been wanting to try a pair of toning shoes and I like that the kid’s shoes are velcro (there are a lot of shoes to tie in this house :).

  41. Liza says

    December 11, 2010 at 11:31 am

    I love the NB pink and grey shoes for my little girl.

  42. Steph A says

    December 11, 2010 at 11:25 am

    I like the New Balance toning shoes. They look more streamlined and wearable than alot of the toning shoes on the market right now.

  43. Carrie at In the Hammock Blog says

    December 11, 2010 at 11:16 am

    Ooh, I really like how these look like regular sneakers instead of the other special sneakers that have the really high heel area. Thanks for the contest!

  44. CaseyDeuce says

    December 11, 2010 at 10:47 am

    I really love the new balance WR7500!

  45. Aisling says

    December 11, 2010 at 10:38 am

    I’d love to try a pair of New Balance toning shoes and my granddaughter would get the kids shoes. These are really cute and I hear they’re comfortable and effective as well.

  46. carol says

    December 11, 2010 at 10:31 am

    I wore New Balance shoes for 5 years. I recently cheated and wore a competitor’s shoe. Never again … my right foot hurts and I’m convinced its the shoe. Back to New Balance I go!

  47. Steve Bartlett says

    December 11, 2010 at 10:08 am

    I would love the opportunity to try the New Balance Shoes so I can tell my friends about them!!!

  48. Sydney says

    December 11, 2010 at 10:03 am

    Love New Balance shoes and that they come is so many available sizes! A mom needs a pair just to keep up with the kids:-)

  49. Erin says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:58 am

    These look like really nice toning shoes, unlike some on the market nowadays. The New Balance trainers actually resemble “normal” shoes and not orthopedic devices.

  50. Nadine L says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:47 am

    I have gone from walking to running finally, everyone I talk to swears New Balance are the way to go for sneakers. Would love to try a pair.

  51. susitravl says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:45 am

    My husband has a lot of trouble with his feet, but found that these shoes take pressure off certain spots so he can walk pain free – he loves his True Balance shoes.

  52. carol y l says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:34 am

    This is SO useful! We walk every day and my shoes are constantly wearing out because of the rough roads, no sidewalks, and hilliness. Plus, my granddaughter could use a pair of shoes. Who couldn’t?

  53. Claudia M @cdmtx65 says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:25 am

    i just signed up for “running for the cure” next year and winning these for my training would be awesome :) thanks for the chance!

  54. misty says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:22 am

    I’ve seen the ads and heard/read some testimonials, but I am still skeptical about these toning shoes. It’s just too good to be true. I was planning to get a pair when the price goes down a little. If I win, I would definitely keep one for myself! I can definitely use it! lol.

  55. Kristie says

    December 11, 2010 at 9:11 am

    I would love to try the toning shoes and my son could really use some tennis shoes! Thank you for the chance to win!

  59. Emma Peel says

    Well Ive never worn New Balance shoes so this would be an enjoyable experience, with Diabetic feet comfort’s important also

  60. Geoff K says

    December 11, 2010 at 4:45 am

    I’ve always had good experiences with New Balance shoes – they’re well-designed, comfortable, and excellent for all sports. My brother-in-law is notoriously difficult to shop for, but since he’s training for a marathon in the spring, these would make a perfect gift for him. Thanks for the review and the chance to enter!

  61. Jennifer gersch says

    December 11, 2010 at 3:50 am

    I would love to tone and shape with these shoes

  62. Chrysa says

    December 11, 2010 at 1:04 am

    I love New Balance. They’re also great for people with extra-wide feet since they have a great variety of sizes. They are the only sneakers my father-in-law can wear!

  63. maribel mongay says

    December 10, 2010 at 11:41 pm

    I recently went to buy walking shoes with my husband and unfortunately we could only afford one pair and he needed them more than I. I fell in love with New Balance. It’d be great to get a free pair and maybe that’ll motivate me to work out more :)

  64. Angela says

    December 10, 2010 at 11:23 pm

    Everyone I know has switched to NB and I’ve been wanting to get a pair for myself to replace my old tennis shoes. I want to start running and need a better pair that don’t hurt my feet.

  65. Marc says

    December 10, 2010 at 11:05 pm

    The last two pairs of shoes that I’ve had are New Balance…and they are excellent and long-lasting shoes.

  66. Lynn says

    December 10, 2010 at 11:02 pm

    These look like great running shoes!

  67. Paula Hafner says

    December 10, 2010 at 10:58 pm

    I love New Balance. I have trouble with my legs, and I can actually do a lot of walking wearing New Balance shoes without a ton of pain.

  68. Amy Brewer says

    December 10, 2010 at 10:45 pm

    I am so hoping to win this..My family are HUGE new balance fans. That was what our last pairs we bought were. Would be great to try these ones out.

  69. Jamie says

    December 10, 2010 at 9:41 pm

    My current running shoes are new balance and I love them! I would really like to try out the toning kind.

  70. Katie S. says

    December 10, 2010 at 8:40 pm

    I wish shoe companies and shoe stores would make more shoes in wide widths and larger shoes too. I’m a 13 womens and my hubby is 14 mens. We both have a devil of a time finding reasonably priced comfortable shoes. Heck, they don’t even make 1/2 sizes past 12.5 either. Do larger feet only grow in full sizes? No. They don’t!

  71. AEKZ2 says

    December 10, 2010 at 8:32 pm

    That’s really great that New Balance has a made in the USA section on their web page. I love it!

  72. shawna says

    December 10, 2010 at 8:28 pm

    I love New Balance my kids have wide feet and this is one of the few great shoe brands that make wide withs.

    my husband and my daughter both have way more then me though!

  77. Kyle W says

    December 10, 2010 at 6:09 pm

    My current running shoes are on their last limb so these would make a good replacement! Good luck and happy holidays everyone! :)

  78. Scott Martin says

    December 10, 2010 at 5:12 pm

    It is funny. We used to buy other brands until I bought my 7 year old of NB. They lasted so long that I bought a pair for running. I love them.
    THANKS for the AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!

    Keeping my daughter in shoes seems to be an endless chase. She went from a size 7 to 91/2 in three months. We haven’t tried New Balance but would like to.

  80. rebecca says

    December 10, 2010 at 5:06 pm

    As a diabetic I have searched high and low for truly comfortable shoes. It would be great if New Balance could be my answer.

  81. Joy F says

    These shoes look great. Would love to win. Thanks.

  82. Alice C says

  83. Tonya Dean says

    I haven’t tried the New Balance shoes yet. My aunt has a pair and loves them.

  84. Cristi says

    December 10, 2010 at 4:03 pm

    I have seen these and wanted them for the longest time. I had back surgery about 2 months ago and have gained alot of weight. I am starting to walk more and these would be perfect to help me.

  85. Mellissa Clark says

    December 10, 2010 at 2:39 pm

    My son loves his New balance shoes. He always tells me how comfy they feel when he has them on.

    Hubby needs new shoes for running.

  87. Eileen says

    December 10, 2010 at 12:25 pm

    This IS a unique gift idea and one I am now considering for my mother-in-law. Only thing is, she has bad knees (gets cortizone shots and has been advised she needs knee replacement surgery). I’m wondering if these would do more to help or possibly harm her further with her knee condition. I’ll have to do some research (and quick).

  88. mickeyfan says

    December 10, 2010 at 9:25 am

    I’ve been trying to get hubby to try NB for a long time. Finally pointed out that my (extremely picky) sister wears nothing else. So, he figured if SHE didn’t complain, he’d give em a whirl. LOVES them now too.

  89. Kristi C says

    December 10, 2010 at 9:14 am

    I have really been wanting to try the toning shoes and do need new tennis shoes. New Balance is the only brand my husband will wear.

  90. david basile says

    December 10, 2010 at 9:10 am

    my wife would be thrilled with these

  91. charline says

    December 10, 2010 at 8:53 am

    My son is so picky when it comes to shoes, New balance happens to be one of the few brands he likes. I find the price is great on these shoes.

    i got some of the other toning shoes last year from a friend who didn’t like them..i almost broke my ankles! I would love some new shoes and toning sneaks? a bonus!

  93. Eryn says

    December 10, 2010 at 2:36 am

    “trying-to-lose-weight-ers” HA! Love that term.

    I’ve worn New Balance since their only women’s shoes were all white. I was tickled pink (ha!) to see some of their new pink & purple offerings this year.

  94. G Bailey says

    December 10, 2010 at 1:37 am

    If I win, either myself, my daughter, SIL or two grandkids will come out with a new pair of shoes!

  95. Elena says

    December 10, 2010 at 1:31 am

    Yes! I need these shoes for my boyfriend! He could use a little toning here and there (hey, it’s all in love!) and he is completely opposed to any shoes that look like they are for toning. I own a pair of toning Avia shoes and, although I am not wild on the look (the now-old-school rounded soles), I love the comfort and the rolling feeling when I walk. But my man is sensitive to that!

  96. Danielle says

    December 10, 2010 at 1:26 am

    i love the new balance ones. they look like real shoes unlike sketchers. i want to tone and look cool, not tone and get laughed at. ;)

  97. Angela Winesburg says

    December 9, 2010 at 11:12 pm

    I’ve wanted a pair of toning shoes for awhile now. I’ve been eying the Sketchers Shape-Ups for awhile now, I’m glad to see that there are other options out there, thanks!

  98. Lucy @ Because Mommy Said So says

    December 9, 2010 at 9:56 pm

    I’ve been looking at a pair of these shoes forever, but have never mustered the courage to spend that much. I’d love to have a pair since I walk a lot with three kids, but don’t have the tiime to go to the gym to tone up.

  99. Ashley C says

    December 9, 2010 at 9:30 pm

    I love NewBalance shoes, I work in health care and am on my foot nonstop, they last the longest as work shots. Adidas and Nike don’t compair

    New balance makes such awesome shoes for my feet because you can find them in realistic widths! Also, they last forever! Almost, too long.

  102. C Gibbs says

    December 9, 2010 at 8:31 pm

    New shoes are always a challenge to buy. I either like the fit of them or like the look of them, not always both at the same time. Would love to give these a try.

    well, it would be a great gift, but would have to be somebody whose shoe size you already knew, that would be weird to ask them or weirder yet to sneak around and peek in their shoes ;)

  104. Lindsay says

    December 9, 2010 at 8:05 pm

    My mom still wears the pair of tennis shoes I gave her for Christmas 2 years ago. She talks about what a great gift they are all the time!

    I only buy new balance

  107. ohkeeka says

    December 9, 2010 at 7:26 pm

    I would totally love a pair of truebalance shoes. I like the idea of all those toning shoes (toning? without working out? sign me up!), but they kind of look like Frankenstein shoes! Truebalance shoes are great because they look like any other athletic shoe out there, you know?

  108. Melissa O. says

    December 9, 2010 at 7:17 pm

    I just bought a new pair of running shoes as my others were wearing out and bothering my feet (after waaayyyy too long). Tried on a pair of New Balance Toning shoes and they were SO COMFY!!! But honestly, $60 is just about my limit for running shoes. Would love to have some though!

    I LOVE New Balance shoes! I would love to win these for myself to help out with my New Years Resolution to run EVERY DAY- no excuses!

  110. tracy davis says

    December 9, 2010 at 6:07 pm

    I like that they look like normal shoes

  111. OutnumberedMama says

    December 9, 2010 at 3:11 pm

    I have been wanting to try out the whole “sculpting/toning” shoe crazy but I just can’t bring myself to wear the sketchers style shape-ups they just look strange. I would love to give the New balance ones a try, they look like regular sneakers!!

  112. Laurie P says

    December 9, 2010 at 2:54 pm

    I love the style of these shoes. They look way better then other toning shoes that I have seen. I wonder if they work? I would love to own a pair :-)

  113. Ellsworth Boyce says

    December 9, 2010 at 2:42 pm

    My girlfriend has been wanting to try them and I didn’t even know they made them in kid’s sizes. Did I mention I also have a three year old.

  114. Kiley Smith says

    December 9, 2010 at 2:39 pm

    I love New Balance Shoes…I had a pair in High School and they lasted FOREVER!

  115. Kim says

    December 9, 2010 at 2:36 pm

    who doesn’t ALWAYS need new shoes – much less for their kids, who grow an inch a day it seems???!

  116. Tammy Keech says

    December 9, 2010 at 2:12 pm

    I have a difficult time finding comfortable shoes that fit well. I am on my feet at least ten hours a day. New Balance are comfortable, light weight and have good ventalation. I even have some energy left at the end of the day to play with the kids!

  117. Jennifer M says

    December 9, 2010 at 2:08 pm

    I walk a lot during my trek to and from work (with side trips for the school run) so this would be really helpful–a workout without changing my schedule!

  118. Michelle says

    December 9, 2010 at 12:59 pm

    New Balance are made in the USA, right in Massachusetts. Love that about them!

  119. Kim Pollock says

    December 9, 2010 at 12:57 pm

    New Balance shoes are my favorite and I am in need of a new pair of shoes and have heard great things about them. I would love to have a kid pair for my son and daughter too! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  120. Jen Williams says

    December 9, 2010 at 11:31 am

    New Balance shoes have been my favorite since high school. Who wouldn’t want shoes that provide a workout while you are just going about your daily activities? I could use a new pair, as my feet have grown a bit from pregnancy!

  121. Monique Rizzo says

    December 9, 2010 at 11:28 am

    I recently got a new pair of New Balance and wore them to Disneyland- they were wonderful.
    Thanks for the chance.

  123. Suzanne K says

    December 9, 2010 at 11:13 am

    I love New Balance, have for years! They fit the best and are the most comfortable. I bought a pair of the rocker shoes from Kmart to try them out and see if they work. They DO. Now, I want a ‘real’ pair from New Balance

  124. paige chandler says

    December 9, 2010 at 9:56 am

    I’ve heard such great thing about these shoes especially the toning effect on the Butt. I could use all the help I can get.

  125. Kelly Britton says

    December 9, 2010 at 9:38 am

    In all honesty, I have never owned a pair of New Balance shoes. Would love to try them!

  126. Katie Bourke says

    December 9, 2010 at 9:08 am

    New Balance is my favorite type of running shoe. Keeping my fingers crossed that I win. I would love a new pair of shoes!

  127. Stefanie B. says

    December 9, 2010 at 8:32 am

    My husband and I both have wide feet and high arches, and New Balance are honestly the only brand we buy because they fit so well. We have a little boy and he’s definitely on track to inherit those qualities from both of us – which means New Balance for him, too!

  128. Jennifer K says

    December 9, 2010 at 8:26 am

    my mother in IMPOSSIBLE to buy for, and has to always were shoes around the house or her feet swell, so this would be a great gift for her!! and she could take my daughter to the store with her and they can pick out matching pairs!! GREAT idea!!

  129. Betsy Hoff says

    December 9, 2010 at 8:07 am

    New balance shoes are great! I would totally love a pair and would love if my daughter had a matching pair :) I don’t trust just any pair of shoes on her growing feet! I know that these are good quality shoes!

  130. hminnesota says

    December 9, 2010 at 7:31 am

    My both daughters are growing up and every now and then their shoes don’t fit them. Winning this will be a huge help to my family.

  131. courtney says

    December 9, 2010 at 6:56 am

    i love new balance. I think they are the most underrated brand of shoe out there. Much better then reeboks

  132. Cindy says

    December 9, 2010 at 6:46 am

    I’ve been wearing New Balance shoes for the past few years and they are very comfortable.

  133. andrea dimario says

    December 9, 2010 at 6:07 am

    ahh I have wanted to try toning shoes since they first became popular..I dont know why I havent just given in and boughten a pair yet! If I dont win, I may just have to do that!! These are the best looking ones I have come across actually~ I love them

  134. Shanda J says

    December 9, 2010 at 6:05 am

    I love New Balance shoes. They are often on sale and stand the test of time. The pair I currently wear I bought 5 years ago.

  135. Tari L. says

    December 9, 2010 at 5:06 am

    I swear by New Balance shoes. My foot Dr. recommended them and I can see why.

  136. Laura Brown says

    December 9, 2010 at 3:47 am

    I haven’t replaced my sneakers since 2008! I am so ready to get back to exercise and demonstrate good habits for my kids. I love these shoes – saw them on in the store but put them on the “someday” list. New Balance makes great shoes – I swore by them when I was a runner. My toddler loves all shoes, so this would be a great day at our house!

  137. Nadia says

    December 9, 2010 at 1:36 am

    New Balance is my most favorite brand of sneakers, hands down! They’re super comfortable. I’d love to win a new pair for myself. My current pair is getting pretty worn out.

  138. Kathy Luman says

    December 9, 2010 at 1:07 am

    I don’t think I ever had any NB shoes. I would love to give them a try. I work 10 hours a day. Some days I stand in one spot a lot and other days I’m constantly running up and down steps. I’m so looking for a good pair of shoes so my feet don’t hurt so much.

  139. Amanda S. says

    December 9, 2010 at 12:39 am

    New shoes would be great to have for all those New Year’s resolutions I’m about to make! ;)

  140. brandy nelson says

    December 8, 2010 at 9:17 pm

    I could really use some new shoes, and so could my daughter. And I love New Balance!
    Thanks so much for the chance!

  141. Theresa H says

    December 8, 2010 at 9:12 pm

    I would love to be able to find another shoe that fits my lovely ankle and oddly shaped feet :) Maybe I will go try some NB out this weekend.

  142. /carol Cully says

    December 8, 2010 at 8:27 pm

    New balance is a shoe that the ped doctor told me would be great for people that have any feet problems, which i am starting to have…I used to buy cheap tennis shoes at any store, now i have never tried the New Balance. I would love to see what the difference is?

  143. Shannon Baas says

    December 8, 2010 at 7:58 pm

    I just bought some new shoes but could use some more.

  144. Thbodley says

    I’m on my feet all day and New Balance are all I wear.

  145. Michael says

    New Balance shoes are really great and have been buying them for years

  146. Jill L says

    This would really help me start off the New Year on the right foot. This is my year to really get healthy.

  147. Debra @ A Frugal Friend says

    December 8, 2010 at 5:00 pm

    I hate to think of the last time I bought a new pair of shoes……it’s been too long and mine are worn out. Definitely need some new ones and LOVE New Balance.

  148. Adrienne Gordon says

    December 8, 2010 at 5:00 pm

    I’m really interested in trying these out, they seem like a worthwhile cause to toning up.

  149. Amartin says

    December 8, 2010 at 3:25 pm

    I was a true Nike guy my entire life. I bought my first pair of NB about three years ago and I’ll never go back!

  150. elaine says

    December 8, 2010 at 3:20 pm

    they are the only shoes to wear ,working in the operating room.so comfy all day.

  151. Heather M says

    December 8, 2010 at 3:16 pm

    We could always use new shoes and New Balance are some of the best.!

  152. Don D says

    December 8, 2010 at 3:10 pm

    I have recently started walking and working up to running again. I have an older pair or NB shoes and they need replaced badly. The bigger challenge in my home is keeping my kids in shoes…wow, now I know why my dad always got on me about how I treated my shoes.

  153. Lindsay @ Laughing Lindsay says

    December 8, 2010 at 3:00 pm

    I’ve never wore New Balance before. I usually wear K-Swiss. So, this would be a nice change.

  154. Sarah says

    December 8, 2010 at 2:32 pm

    I need a new pair of shoes that are good for my feet.

  155. Brandi says

    December 8, 2010 at 1:48 pm

    i haven’t bought myself new shoes since the last time i was expecting. it seems with every baby, my feet grow half a size. i just realized that they’re now too small. unfortunately, i’ve been to busy buying things for everyone else to focus on anything for myself

  156. zmama says

    December 8, 2010 at 8:37 am

    I need a new pair of sneakers! ANd my daughter would love a pair too :)

  157. Meg T says

    December 8, 2010 at 7:30 am

    I’ve been a fan of New Balance for years!! I finally got my son a pair for Christmas. He’s been going on longer and longer walks with me and I figure it’s time for him to have some “proper” shoes. He’s going to love his “racing shoes”.
    Now I’m going to have to get the pink ones for my little girl, too cute!

  158. Angie says

    December 7, 2010 at 11:22 pm

    My hubby hasn’t worn anything but New Balance in years. I’d love to get he and my son matching pairs.

  159. jill says

    December 7, 2010 at 6:59 pm

    Hubby and I both love Newbies! We also like Asics and Mizunos. Would love some NB for the kids!

  160. Sara says

    December 7, 2010 at 5:17 pm

    I don’t think I’ve ever owned a pair of NB shoes! When I was a runner, I only wore Asics. Now, that I’m not even really athletic, sad, I guess I can venture into unknown shoe brands! And, athletic shoes for gifts… that is a pretty good idea!

  161. Erinn says

    December 7, 2010 at 1:48 pm

    NB shoes are really comfortable for lots of walkimg. i’d love to have a new pair.

  162. Melinda H says

    I really like NB shoes and my son always needs new shoes.

  164. Noreen says

    When I ran track in high school new balance were the only shoes I would wear.

  165. susan says

    December 6, 2010 at 11:46 pm

    We love New Balance shoes at our home. They are comfy and light. Plus I’d love to give the toning shoes a try as I totally need help in that area. Although they are quite spendy they are totally worth it!

  166. ribs says

    December 6, 2010 at 11:10 pm

    I’m a huge fan of New Balance shoes for working out and running. I’d be really interested in trying out the toning shoes and seeing how they differ from regular running shoes. The kids could always use a new pair of shoes too!

  167. Sarah says

    December 6, 2010 at 5:37 pm

    Mat and I are trying to start working out on a regular basis…what a good incentive new shoes would be! I have a pair of New Balance right now, and really like them.

  168. Christy says

    December 6, 2010 at 5:17 pm

    I never thought about it before but you are right, shoes would make a great gift.

  169. Amy M. says

    December 6, 2010 at 3:09 pm

    Shoes for Christmas? Makes me think of the “Christmas Shoes” by New Song. I like the idea of the New Balance “toning” system. I think any women post baby would love a pair of those! Sign me up!

  170. Rena says

    December 6, 2010 at 1:42 pm

    I’ve honestly never thought of shoes for a gift for someone, but it could seriously work! I have one pair of NB shoes, but replaced them with lightweight sketchers. I’ve never thought much about “fabulous” shoes for my kids because most of the time they sport their crocs and flip flops, but I always end up having to go buy them some shoes for our Winter Wyoming trips.

  171. phxbne says

    December 6, 2010 at 1:40 pm

    thanks – hubby would love some new athletic shoes! great gift idea

  172. Lisa says

    December 6, 2010 at 12:24 pm

    This would be great. My son wears an XW shoe. For years, he could only wear Stride Rite brand. Now he actually fits into New Balance W shoes. He would love something new.
    I would, as well, since I rarely buy anything for me.

  173. Brandy says

    December 6, 2010 at 11:41 am

    These look so cool, I love new balance they are the best shoes for walking with my little ones. I have a hard time finding them in kids sizes though.

  174. Jamie says

    December 6, 2010 at 10:47 am

    I hadn’t heard of the trubalance line yet. Tennis shoes would make an excellent Christmas gift!

  175. Sarah R. says

    December 6, 2010 at 9:34 am

    If I win, I’m giving these to my mom. She LIVES in her New Balance shoes. I like that these are stylish as well. Plus my 2 year old just discovered basketball and he would love these as well.

  176. betsy says

    December 6, 2010 at 8:50 am

    My son just got NB shoes after wanting new running shoes for months and he loves them. Much more afordable then other kid running shoes.

  177. Amber C says

    December 6, 2010 at 8:22 am

    Thanks for bringing these to my attention. I’ve been wanting a pair of good toning walking shoes but don’t like the styles that look like rocking chair rockers on the bottom of your feet! I’ll have to check these out.

  178. Joanna @ Starving Student Survivor says

    December 6, 2010 at 7:05 am

    This is what I should have requested as a Christmas gift, but instead I asked for a pair of black heels. Apparently I care more about looking nice on Sunday than I do about being comfortable every other day of the week.

  179. Jen says

    December 6, 2010 at 6:54 am

    My sister has been talking about getting toning shoes for awhile now. The New Balance ones are cute! Thanks for the giveaway.

  180. Mami2jcn says

    December 6, 2010 at 5:59 am

    With 3 kids who are constantly outgrowing their shoes, this would be great to win!

  181. tiffany says

    December 6, 2010 at 3:39 am

    My husband has had the same pair of new balance shoes since high school. They have lasted a really long time, but I can safely say that they very much need to be replaced at this point!

  182. Justine McD. says

    December 6, 2010 at 12:36 am

    I have the hardest time finding shoes that fit me right. I fell a couple years ago down the stairs, and somehow landed on the top of my right foot and bruised all the bones there (the doc thinks it was fractured too but the bones were too small to tell). It took me 4 weeks to be able to walk fairly well but finding and wearing shoes has been a pain for the last, almost, 3yrs now. My foots not as sore on the top as it was a year ago but it still bothers me some times. I’ve been told to try Newblance shoes but I’ve never got the nerve to do it with my issues, but I hear they are a dream shoe!

  183. Go Amie says

    December 5, 2010 at 11:46 pm

    I’ve recently started walking (as a serious form of exercise) and I’ve found that regular tennies just don’t cut it; I’d love a pair of great shoes to help me out.

  184. Sarah says

    December 5, 2010 at 10:45 pm

    I haven’t bought myself new tennis shoes in ages! I’m sure my feet would love this gift! My son seems to be growing by the week, so a new pair of kicks for him would be great too.

  185. Abbi says

    December 5, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    The person that is a challange to buy for is my husband! We have never tried new balance shoes but my mom really likes them.

  186. Tiffany says

    December 5, 2010 at 8:51 pm

    We could always use a new pair of tennis shoes in my house. But I am the type of person that I would have to try mine on before I buy them. I am just as picky about my shoes as I am about my clothes!

  187. MaryBeth @ Four Silly Sisters says

    December 5, 2010 at 8:22 pm

    I wear New Balance tennis shoes nearly all the time. I don’t wear them to run in, but for everyday wear they are great!

  188. Staci A says

    December 5, 2010 at 6:35 pm

    A few years ago, my sister gave me a pair of New Balance shoes for Christmas, and they were one of the most used gifts I’ve ever gotten! I’d love to get a new pair!

  189. Diane says

    December 5, 2010 at 5:18 pm

    I just saw a commercial for the true balance! I like that they don’t look like all the other clunky toning shoes! I would love to get the true balance in the black I have to wear sneakers or boots to work and I stand/ walk around all day so I need comfy sneakers – (boots get too heavy!)

  190. Sarah says

    December 5, 2010 at 5:10 pm

    I’ve been wanting to try these shoes for a while but near the holidays wanted to spend my money on others!

  191. Melody says

    December 5, 2010 at 4:58 pm

    My husband just went and got fitted for a good shoe for his foot…and new balance was the pick! We haven’t given them much thought before that….but once he got a pair he said that they made a HUGE difference with his running!

  192. Jessica S. says

    December 5, 2010 at 4:14 pm

    I LOVE TENNIS SHOES :) Not only are they great for working out but they are comfortable and fashionable enough to wear with jeans. I seriously wear mine all the time! I have a pair of new balance already and I love them! But you can never have too many shoes!

  193. Melinda J says

    December 5, 2010 at 2:56 pm

    Great idea! I’ve been wishing for new tennies for a while now.

  194. Charlene says

    December 5, 2010 at 2:39 pm

    I received a pair of New Balance shoes a couple of years ago for Christmas. They’re my favorite walking shoe, very comfortable.

  195. Ashleigh says

    December 5, 2010 at 2:38 pm

    I don’t know that I’ve ever owned a pair of New Balance shoes, but I’d like to try them out. They seem like they would be really comfy!

  196. Jennifer T says

    December 5, 2010 at 12:37 pm

    We love New Balance shoes! They’re perfect for my 5 year old who has wide feet but refuses to wear anything but sneakers. I love them for their fit, their price and their comfort!

  197. hippie4ever says

    December 5, 2010 at 10:29 am

    Oh my husband’s favorite sneaks are New balance! Though I’m the one in need of sneakers …;)

  198. Sarah says

    December 5, 2010 at 9:34 am

    After my foot injury New Balance sneakers were the only kind I could wear comfortably. They come in wide which works out great for me. Thanks for the chance to win!!

  199. Jennifer B says

    December 5, 2010 at 9:23 am

    New Balance is also my go to brand! They never hurt my feet. I like that their truebalance shoes are really cute

  200. Lauren says

    December 5, 2010 at 7:11 am

    i have a renewed commitment to my gym membership, and really could use new sneaks!! Just havent been able to spend the $ on them this time of year- so this would really help! And my son would love new sneakers too- his are usually from a consignment shop since he grows so quickly! :)

  201. Marlena U. says

    December 5, 2010 at 6:58 am

    My husband and I love New Balance! I didn’t even realize they make kids shoes! I can’t believe I didn’t know that…my kiddos may be getting some new shoes!!

  202. Crunchy Beach Mama says

    December 5, 2010 at 6:24 am

    We like New Balance. And the kids are in definite need of new pairs AGAIN!

  203. Liann S says

    December 5, 2010 at 12:10 am

    New Balance shoes are a top pick in this family. I have been wanting to try the toning shoes and they look super cute.

  204. Vanessa says

    December 5, 2010 at 12:05 am

    I have always wanted to try one of those shoes that work on the muscles in my glutes, etc. Also, I didn’t realize that New Balance had such cute kids shoes. Definitely going to have to check them out in the future!

  205. Michele says

    December 4, 2010 at 10:38 pm

    Now this is a truly orginal gift idea, I would have never thought to buy someone athletic shoes for Christmas! I’ve been a fan of New Balance for a while now. In high school I used to always wear their running shoes for Cross Country. Now I have some of their walking slides that I love – in fact they are one of my most comfortable pairs of shoes!

  206. JulieK says

    December 4, 2010 at 10:18 pm

    I like how these shoes don’t LOOK like toning shoes all weird shaped. I have wanted to TRY some of those kind of shoes but I don’t want to look like a rocking chair. :) I am always a LITTLE afraid to give shoes to people b/c some people fall between sizes, like me, and need to actually try on 3 sizes (their typical one and a half size up and down each way) to get the very best fit. However, although I don’t love giving gift cards, in this case perhaps a gift card to a shoe store might be a nice gift if someone feels uncertain about sizing. :)

  207. danielle says

    These really are the best looking “shape up” tennis shoes I have seen. They look completely normal and in fact even cuter in real life.

    I have really been wanting to try a pair of these shoes! I walk every day with my son and my Airedale, Pepper.

    i’m really interested to see if these types of shoes really make a difference! can you do anything besides walk in them?

      I’m sure they would work for running, playing tennis, and/or doing aerobics too…but I think they are primarily designed for everyday walking.

    I love New Balance! They are some of the best athletic shoes I have had. For some reason I never realized they had kids shoes!

    New Balance is the only brand of tennis shoe I can find to fit my son’s wide foot! He is only 5 years old, skinny as a rail, but wears an extra wide shoe. We have the worst time finding shoes for him, but tennis shoes are easy because we know the new Balances will always fit.

    Oh! New Balance makes good shoes!! Once this babe is born, I’m gonna need to get my feet moving in some solid tennies.

    My husband LOVES shoes – he has way more pairs than me & he’s always making sure his shoes match his outfits, even his sneakers – so I know that he’d enjoy another new pair =)

    I’ve had one pair of these. I cannot remember if I liked them or not. I am not a brand name buyer, I only buy what makse my feet feel good.

    I have had the same pair of tennis shoes for the last 8 years!! Why do they call them tennis shoes when most people don’t play tennis in them? Anyway, I could really use a new pair of sneaks since I just re joined the gym after having my second baby. Maybe they will give me the added boost in my work outs?

    Ugh. I’ve been running in the same NewBalance for two years. I need new ones. Like – wicked bad. I HEART NewBalance shoes too – fantastic support for an overpronator such as myself.

    This would be a fantastic win!

    These seem great! I love the “non-ugly” style!

    December 4, 2010 at 7:38 pm

    I think that this is an excellent idea! You are right, who wouldn’t love a pair of tennis shoes?!! My husband could use a new pair….he seems to go through shoes quite a bit!

  220. Allison says

    December 4, 2010 at 7:32 pm

    New Balance are pretty much the only shoes my husband or two year old will wear! Love them, stylish and comfortable!

    I switched to New Balance tennis shoes 7 years ago and haven’t bought a difference brand since. I love them-they are so comfortable!

    I really like this brand of athletic shoes, they hold up very well. It’s always to have a nice, new pair to get you in the mood to go for a run!

    This is one of our favorite brands for athletic shoes for my husband and I. Usually I don’t swing that much money for kids’ shoes since they go through them so fast, but I wouldn’t mind trying them out!

  224. jennifer murphy says

    December 4, 2010 at 5:52 pm

    Like Nell’s husband, my husband goes through shoes at a ridiculously fast rate. He loves NB’s and that’s what he usually buys. My last pair of running shoes were NB’s and I loved them!

  225. kristen says

    December 4, 2010 at 5:38 pm

    I had a pair of NB in college and loved them. In fact, now that you mention it, I think my husband did, too. Now… to just introduce them to the kiddos!! :)

    Love New Balance shoes and they look even more adorable for little kids!

    I had a conversation this morning with my husband about my wanting to recommit to running (i quit about 7 months into my pregnancy of my now 4 month old.) I just ordered a new (actually fitting) running outfit but haven’t gotten to the shoe part yet. These would be fabulous.

    these really do look great! …and my daughter needs new shoes… ☺

    Ooh, nifty! My tennis shoes have a big hole in the toe, and need replacing, and these new balance ones look very comfy.

    A few years ago I was having some problems with my arches while running/walking in Adidas shoes. For Christmas my mom gave me a new pair of New Balance. She is a long-time runner and swears by New Balance. My arch problems were instantly solved. Now my husband and I both only buy New Balances for athletic shoes.

    I haven’t tried the kids shoes yet but I’ve been intrigued!

  231. Nini Lettner says

    December 4, 2010 at 3:57 pm

    Another great idea. Both my husband and I like New Balance shoes. They are the only kind I used to buy until I had my shin splint problem. However, even with different shoes and inserts, my shin splints still arise. New Balance shoes are great! Markus loves them for hiking and running in as well! I love that you are giving away kids shoes too! And your picture of your family feet is great!

  232. Becca - Our Crazy Boys says

    December 4, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    I LOVE that they look like normal shoes!!! New Balance is my favorite – and the only ones that my boys don’t tear up within the first few months of wearing!

  233. Christine Jensen says

    December 4, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    Tennis shoes do make a fabulous gift. I love a new pair of running shoes, and New Balance makes fabulous shoes.

  234. Sharon says

    I used to love New Balance, when I actually ran. I would bet the toners are fantastic. I bought a pair of sketchers toners 4 months ago and you really do feel the difference. Funny you mentioned the balance board, because I was telling someone that’s exactly what they feel like. I used a balance board for a knee rehab and it’s the same feeling.

    My running shoes are just about out of juice. These would be a nice replacement and I have a nephew who loves to play soccer who could use a new pair, too!

    A friend of mine was just telling me how great her new balances are. I’m thinking about buying a pair.

    My husband has the hardest time buying shoes that will last and feel comfortable. Since he works at Lowe’s and walks all day, the shoes have to be pretty durable. I swear that man burns through the shoes like no body’s business.
