Prior to 2020, New Balance granted a license to manufacturer Hickory Brands — located in Hickory, North Carolina — that allowed Hickory Brands to produce insoles using the New Balance name. Going into 2020, however, Hickory Brands decided to no longer license the New Balance name and instead continued production of the New Balance insoles line under the brand name 10 Seconds.
So if you’re looking for the old New Balance insoles, there’s good news! You can find almost all of the old insole styles (as well as some new ones) as part of the 10 Seconds insoles lineup! And since the manufacturer hasn’t changed, you’ll get the same exact insole that you know and love, just with a different brand name.

New 10 Seconds Styles Possibly Coming Soon!
TheInsoleStore.com has always maintained a strong relationship with Hickory Brands. After it was announced that they would no longer be producing their popular insoles under the New Balance name and would instead be producing the insoles under the 10 Seconds name, we inquired about some of the styles that had not been transferred over to the 10 Seconds lineup (like the IPR 3030 Wide, a popular seller in the New Balance lineup).
The good news is that some of these styles might be available in the future! We’ll keep you posted here with any updates if any of the old New Balance styles get released under the 10 Seconds brand later on.
