JAKARTA - The famous New Balance shoe brand is again attracting attention with its latest innovations. This time, this shoe brand from the United States launched a unique program called Mismatch Sizing Program.
This program allows buyers to get a pair of shoes with different right and left sizes, and can even buy just one shoe if needed.
Reporting from the Women's Wear Daily page, this program is intended for consumers who have differences in leg size, loss of one body member, or disability conditions that make it difficult for them to find shoes of the right size.
New Balance chose the Made in USA Fresh Foam 1540v4 model as the first product to be included in this program.
These shoes are known as one of the most comfortable and premium series from New Balance. Previously, they had received an official confession from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) because of their design that supports leg health.
According to Craig Heisner, Senior Director for Wellness and Verticals on New Balance, this program was created so that more people could feel the comfort of shoes that really fit their feet.
"With the mismatch sizing program, we want to make these great shoes more inclusive and easily accessible to everyone," said Heisner.
Fresh Foam 1540v4 shoes have a variety of excellent features such as a center sol made from Efficient Fresh Foam, cool top of the mesh, and Rollbar technology to maintain the stability of the heel movement. No wonder this model was chosen as the pioneer of the new program.
But launching a program like this is not an easy matter. New Balance must adjust the production, logistics and inventory system so that it can accommodate purchases with different size combinations. This is something that is rarely done in the shoe industry.
Even so, the results were worth it. Since its launch, the consumer response has been very positive. Many buyers feel helped because they can finally find shoes that suit their needs.
For some people, simple things like being able to buy just one shoe are very meaningful. This program makes their lives more comfortable and their mobility increases," said Heisner.

The success of this program has made New Balance plan to expand the concept of mismatch sizing to other shoe models in the future.
"We want to make sure more people can wear shoes that really suit their shape and feet." added Heisner.
With this innovative move, New Balance not only sells shoes, but also presents real solutions for needs that are often overlooked. This proves that comfort and inclusivity can go hand in hand in the fashion world.
