New concept for New BalanceNew Balance recently opened their experience store in Canal Walk, where the history of New Balance running shoes can be experienced.
Upon entering you are greeted with the first New Balance sneaker produced in 1903 and the later sneaker designs leads you on a 'showcase trail' towards the centre of the store. They have also incorporated a 'Running consultant' in the shop, which is essentially a treadmill hooked on to a computer that records your natural barefoot foot strike and whether a customer's foot arches or has any other problems. This is essentially a tool that shop attendants can use to advise a customer on the style of running shoe they’ll need.
