Just what the Dr ordered

I had an issue with plantar fascitis and the podiatrist recommended New Balance and another label. I went into the store and tried both, these were more comfortable and supportive. Lots of colour options too. I bought a 2nd pair online and I'm very happy with my shoes, 860's. My feet are responding well and getting better. I use them for the gym, walking and work, so i basically live in them.My only request would be to ask for a narrow fit size as well. While it doesn't actually hamper me I would prefer a more snug fit across top of the toebox. I have a very slim foot.

I have pronated feet and it’s perfect support

Absolutely loving my Fresh Foam New Balance shoes! From the first wear, they felt incredibly comfortable and supportive. The cushioning is soft without feeling unstable, making them perfect for long days on my feet, walks, and everyday wear. I noticed the difference in comfort straight away they feel lightweight, fit beautifully, and have that “walking on clouds” feeling while still giving my feet the support they need. The quality and design are also amazing; they’re stylish enough to wear casually but practical enough for an active lifestyle. A pair I genuinely reach for all the time comfort, support, and style all in on

Maximal cushion and stability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to try the Fresh Foam X 860v15! I enjoyed the soft cushion and fabric all around, while feeling extra supported on the treadmill, the road and the trails. It's true to size and it's a locked-in fit. With a weight of 9.2oz it's a little bit on the heavier side. All in all a great, stylish running shoe though for everyday!

the shoes is very comfortable for walking

Really happy with my New Balance 860 v15! 👟 The shoes are comfortable, lightweight, and feel really supportive when walking or standing for a long time. I also really like the design — simple, clean, and easy to match with different outfits. The cushioning feels nice without being too soft, and the shoes feel stable and secure on my feet. They’re also surprisingly comfortable straight out of the box with little to no break-in needed.The shoes i buy at physical shop and there have many choice for me to pick the most suitable shoes for me. Overall, a really nice pair for everyday wear and walking. Definitely happy with my purchase! 🤍

Disappointed in styling

Have worn the New Balance 860, for more than 10 years. Because of my flat feet I purchase and use a new pair every 6 months. The cushioning and stability have improved over the years. The 860 is my go to shoe for athletic and casual wear. I am unable to wear sandles. The styling of the upper shoe is disappointing. It is boxy looking, not sleek like the previous versions. The bold white lettering detracts from the look of the shoe. Does the word stability need to be broadcast on the side of the shoe? I wear a women’s size 12 medium. My foot runs narrow so I am hoping not to have problems with fit.

Depends on your needs

I loved the v14 and blindly bought the v15 expecting similar feel, however I feel more unstable on the newer model. It feels taller and with less arch support for my pronation issue which is why I was fitted to the original 860 v14. It also gave me blisters on the heel until I wore them in which I didn’t experience with the v14. Definitely recommend a try on before buying.

Perfect recovery shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received these shoes through our running club, and though I usually run in Brooks Adrenaline for an everyday trainer, I can very much see incorporating these into the rotation. I loved running in them! They felt great for the duration of the run and even a few end-of-run pickups. Really have enjoyed them for walking as well. The impact feels soft and cushiony without feeling unstable from too much height/foam. And they were additionally comfy/snug without being too tight. Other reviews suggest the 860s can vary a lot model to model but I really liked v15, thought it was a great shoe.

Comfortable, Supportive, and Gorgeous Color

These New Balance 860s are incredibly comfortable. I wear them daily for both the gym and walking, and my feet feel supported the whole time. I'm really happy with this purchase. The soft mint-green color is also a standout: it's fresh, eye-catching, and looks great with everything.

Version 15 update is horrible!

I have worn 860s for 8 years. They provided perfect stability, fit comfortably, and had a nicely cushioned sole. The updates over the years seemed to improve the cushioning and comfort, while keeping the fit the consistent. So consistent, in fact, that I usually just call my local store to see if they have my preferred color in stock or have them order it. I never had to try them on to be sure they worked for me. This changed with the v15, however. The upper is so drastically changed that they literally hurt the top of my feet. They are totally unwearable. Please fix the uppers for v16. I really want to love New Balance shoes again.

We’re sorry to hear the v15 update caused discomfort and no longer delivers the reliable fit and stability you trusted for so many years. We understand how disappointing it is when a familiar style changes, especially when the upper affected comfort on the top of your foot. Our Customer Care team would value this feedback and can help discuss possible options or next steps with you.

NB860 in Pink

The colour is amazing!! I get compliments/comments on them alot! Comfy shoe, was recommended by my podiatrist and I'd say they've helped with my certain issues/s. I was always an Asics girl but I may have just converted!
