Health Magazine Cites 768 Best in Class
BOSTON, May 27, 2008 - New Balance announced today that Health magazine
has named the New Balance 768 women's running shoe a "2008 America's
Healthiest Fitness Award" winner for best running shoe in the Footwear
category.
The 768 receives "top marks for cushioning, durability and flexibility for
runners with low arches," said the editors of Health.
The 768 is a moderate stability trainer designed with innovative New
Balance technology including ABZORB® cushioning in the heel and forefoot, a TS2 medial post for smooth stability and a Stability Web for lightweight
midfoot support. A PHANTOM LINER™ keeps feet cool and comfortable and
NLOCK® provides superior fit, support and security. This combination of
New Balance technology provides runners with the optimal blend of
cushioning and stability. As with as all in-line New Balance shoes, the
768 is available in multiple widths.
"We are extremely proud that the 768 has been chosen for this award by
Health," says Eric Vassall, product manager, running at New Balance. "The
New Balance running team works diligently to provide technical and
innovative shoes to meet the needs of runners of all abilities. We are
thrilled to be recognized for this effort."
