We make shoes for runners. You may have heard about our New Balance 320 — the top-ranked training shoe in last year's Runner's World rating. But we manufacture a half-dozen other models as well, all just as carefully crafted, including two brand-new shoes specially designed for cross-country work yet tough enough for top performance on hard surfaces. And the new line features several refinements on last year's models: Fuller. boxier toes. Higher, tricot-lined heel counters. Flared soles for increased stability. New Poron 4000 insoles for greater comfort and breathability. Plus New Balance's unique combination of width sizing and total comfort. We give you a run for your money.

FOUR TO GO.

320: Runner's World rated last year's 320 the best training shoe available, but we haven't been standing around on our laurels. This year's model adds Poron' 4000 insoles, a more spacious toe, a padded. fuller heel counter, and new comfort modifications to the upper. We've also introduced a slight serration to the midsole from ball of toot to shank, for softer, suppler flex as well as unparalleled shock attenuation. Our 320 is still the ultimate training shoe. Men and women. 3'/2AA to 15EEEE. in Royal Blue with White trim.

Trail: Designed for trail training but tough enough for road work too, our new Trail has a rounded-stud sole of Alphacrepe that sheds dirt and mud easily without sacrificing traction on wet or sandy surfaces. The Sottcrepe midsole/ wedge combination provides excellent anti-shock cushioning. Backed with 1:6" tricot foam for maximum comfort and breathability, the circular-knit polyester-mesh upper actually wicks off excess heat and moisture. Men and women. 31/2AA to 15EEEE. in Electric Blue with Red midsole.

SuperComp: Bright-colored and better, only the name is the same as last year's SuperComp. The breathable polyester-mesh upper maximizes ventilation and allows your foot to "work" freely. The Poron • 4000 insole reduces other friction and heat build-up, while the new wedge; midsole combination of Levitate reduces weight while increasing shock absorbency. The brush-con-figuration sole is ultra-durable Lydec*. for excellent traction on roads and synthetic tracks. Men and women, 31 AA to 15EEEE, in Sunburst Yellow. Burnt Orange, and Flare Red.

CrossCountry: Our new off-road competition shoe that's tough enough and cushioned enough for hard surfaces too. The light, flexible. studded Alphacrepe sole maximizes traction while minimizing dirt pick-up. The soft, comfortable upper incorporates our new, higher toe design for increased lateral support and ampler toe space. Men and women. 31/:AA to 15EEEE, in Burnt Orange with White trim.
