Dunham Shoes and Boots: Outdoor Inspiration Meets New Balance Technologies
The origins of Dunham shoes and boots can be traced all the way back to 1885 when George and Charles Dunham set up shop and opened the first Dunham Brothers shoe store in Brattleboro, Vermont. In those days, pioneers and explorers needed durable footwear to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments and it was this need that was the inspiration for the creation of Dunhman Bootmakers brand. For more than a century, Dunham Bootmakers designed footwear for the active outdoor lifestyle, committing themselves to only using the highest craftsmanship in their designs and manufacturing. In 1998 the company was acquired by New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc.; and since the acquisition, the same ground-breaking technologies that are used in New Balance footwear are used in Dunham shoes and boots, which only improved the footwear.
Even though Dunham is part of the New Balance family, they still produce shoes that are inspired by the outdoors. There are a variety of styles available for both the business man and the outdoor enthusiast – from handsome looking casual dress shoes with breathable leather uppers to durable made boots with gusseted tongues to keep debris from entering the boots. Not only are Dunham shoes and boots comfortable and lightweight, but also come in a wide range of sizes and widths, from narrow 2A to extra, extra wide 6E. Dunham is proud to offer footwear that fits properly because they strongly believe that if shoes fit correctly, they’ll perform better. They believe in this so much that some of their boots come in as many as 87 size/width combinations. Dunham footwear offers the best of both worlds: durable, orthopedic comfort and stylish designs to fit any casual or outdoor activity.
Notable features that separate Dunham shoes and boots from other footwear:
- Dryworks: a waterproof moisture management membrane system that consists of a waterproof, breathable and seam-sealed leather upper that keeps feet dry and moisture-free
- ROLLBAR: a piece of graphite that is biomechanically placed in the midsole and combined with TPU medial/lateral posts to provide rearfoot stability to minimize pronation and supination
- ABZORB: shock absorbing cushioning at the heel and forefoot to minimize impact in each step
- Stability Web: reduces the weight of the shoe all the while providing exceptional support in the midfoot area
- TRU-TRAK: specially designed rubber outsole that provides maximum traction for better footing
- IMEVA: injection molded EVA foam that is incorporated in the midsole mold to provide durability and flexible cushioning
- Removable Insoles: custom orthotics, arch support inserts and diabetic insoles (only for Dunham A5500 Medicare coded shoes) can replace the removable insoles
- A5500 Medicare Coded: some Dunham shoes are classified as diabetic footwear
