| A shoe's footbed construction
has a major impact on its performance characteristics. New Balance
uses four types of footbed construction to deliver the optimal blend
of stability, flexibility and weight.
 |
Board Lasted Footbed
Board lasted shoes have a sturdy insole board running
the entire length of the foot bed. This type of construction
provides the greatest stability.
|
 |
Combi-Lasted Footbed
Combi-lasted shoes employ slip lasting in the forefoot
for enhanced flexibility and an insole board in the rearfoot
to control excessive motion.
|
 |
Strobel Lasted Footbed
Strobel lasted shoes are constructed with a thin
material acting like a sock liner stretched along its perimeter.
This construction provides an excellent blend of stability
and flexibility.
|
 |
Slip Lasted Footbed
Slip lasted shoes are constructed without an insole
board. This provides the greatest possible flexibility and
lightest weight.
