New Balance Kansas City: Where Healthy Feet are Happy Feet

A firm foundation is required for a structure to be sturdy and well built, and the same holds true for your body. Healthy feet that feel good provide a critical base for your entire body, and when your feet aren’t in shape, neither are you.

That’s why you should treat your feet to a visit at New Balance Kansas City, 6607 West 119th Street, behind the Cheesecake Factory, in Overland Park, Kansas. Its motto is “Feet Love Us” for a reason.

A Professional Fitting Experience

“Finding a cheap pair of shoes isn’t the best idea, especially when it comes at the cost of the health of your feet,” revealed Beth Eilers, general manager of the New Balance Kansas City store. “Our staff isn’t made up of salespeople; they’re fitting professionals. They’ve completed a very detailed and in-depth training process. Fitting you with the right shoes requires special attention, and they’re problem solvers for you.”

And Beth knows shoes and feet. She’s been a board-certified pedorthist since 1996, receiving her pedorthic education at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. In fact, each of the six family-owned stores in the Brown’s Enterprises New Balance organization offers a certified pedorthist on staff in addition to the rest of the well-trained “Fit Pros.” They work with area physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons, endocrinologists and physical therapists that refer their patients.

Focus on Fit, Performance and Service 

“New Balance Kansas City features the largest selection of New Balance running, walking and training shoes for men and women, as well as a selection of casual shoes. We have a huge selection of fashion forward performance apparel as well,” stated Ashley Haynes, New Balance Kansas City store manager and on-site pedorthist. “As for our shoes, if we don’t have the style or size you need in the store, we’ll order it for you.”

If you have improperly fitting shoes, you’re running the risk of creating problems for yourself down the road. Shoes that fit better, feel better, and shoes that feel better perform better. This is why New Balance Kansas City offers so many options. “We can help anyone up to a size 18, and widths from 2A all the way to 6E,” remarked Beth. “With so many options, there aren’t many people that the New Balance Kansas City store can’t help.”

Customized and Personalized Fitting

When you walk into New Balance Kansas City, you’ll begin an incredible fitting experience that will deliver the best-fitting shoe for you and your feet. After you’re greeted by one of the highly trained Fit Pros, you’ll receive a digital foot scan, a critical segment of the process that’s provided as part of your personal fit analysis. Your Fit Pro will use this amazing scanning technology to map your foot pressure points and identify your arch type. This foot scan, along with the collection of viable data from your personal history, observations, interview questions, gait analysis and feet measurement, will be gathered and compiled.

There are countless options when it comes to insoles at New Balance. In house, there are insoles that can help customers with hundreds of painful ailments, such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, heel/forefoot pain and more. “I have had numerous doctors tell me that these are the best insoles you can get without a prescription,” noted Ashley. “However, if you have needs beyond what these insoles are made for, we can also fill prescriptions for custom orthotics for only $350.”

Making Your Feet Happy

This customer experience at New Balance Kansas City is second to none in the KC metro area. The professionals on staff understand the importance of being properly fitted for your shoes and the positive impact this fitting can have on you and your lifestyle.

“What we pride ourselves on is the positive experience we provide you. We’re a full-service store delivering individualized and personalized customer experiences,” said Beth. “From greeting you at the door to the specialized fitting process through selecting the perfect pair for you, we’re truly the place where feet love us.”
