See Manhattan On Your Feet: Whom You Know Kicks off our Coverage of Aravon with the Jamie Ballet Flat


Whom You Know is pleased to kick off our coverage of Aravon, a brand that is new to us by New Balance!  New Balance has dedicated itself to comfort engineering, concentrating on the proper fit, including extensive width sizing, to advanced ergonomic technologies.  We know Evelyn Lauder likes New Balance:

Whom You Know has tested these shoes and finds them to be great combination of function and style.  When you have more than a few blocks to go in your little black dress, these certainly will get you there and spare your feet the pain that heels can bring.  Although heels can be a work of art, they will not leave your feet looking like a work of art when you are barefoot if you go too far in them.  These are great for the sneaker switch before you go into a cocktail party!  As they are slip-ons, they are super easy on and off.  Aravon footwear is designed from the ground up to synergize modern style with the most respected comfort engineering in the business.  


Jamie is a Ballet Flat with a Vibram® Newflex outsole
• Velocor full-length footbed
Abzorb® cushioning in the forefoot
• Primalux™ comfort cushion topcover
Soft-seam lining to avoid irritation
Ionact® antibacterial protection

About Aravon:

Every Aravon outsole unit offers subtle support that adds a bit of spring to your step. It also supports all other technologies built into Aravon shoes.

In Aravon shoes, the foot fits and sits properly on the outsole for best support throughout the dynamics of the gait cycle. In motion, Aravon technologies steady the foot, helping to keep it on the ideal neutral plane of the gait and to alleviate thousands of compensations the complex structure makes with each step. The arch is gently fortified as it flexes and every step is cushioned in the heel and forefoot. Over the course of a day, this finely tuned support adds up to feet that are less stressed and less tired. There are several kinds of Aravon outsoles, each designed to provide the
right foundation for a particular group of comfort and support technologies. 

 
For example, the supportive Power Comfort shoes are made on a full ground contact outsole with an embedded T-Frame® stabilizer. Office heels, on the other hand, are made on a last that places the heel of the foot in the most supported, neutral position possible with a strong, lightweight shank in the midfoot area.  Whom You Know looks forward to bringing you more great ideas from New Balance and this is only the beginning!
