New Balance  Fresh Foam X 860v15 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v15 is a solid any distance trainer. This shoes fits true to size. It has ample foam to cushion the ride. Mid foot and heal strike had a smooth transition. Outsole is traditional and has good grip. Toebox had plenty of space. Plenty of stability for those who need it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great new version of the 860. It's a great stable shoe and has good responsive feel and cushioning. This has right amount of firm cushioning that's not too soft and provides good energy return. My average run is between 5-8 miles, this will be a go to shoe. First run felt great, looking forward to getting miles in these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New Balance 860v15 . Size 11 D Fit: Runs a bit small and very snug through the toe box compared to typical size 11s. I'd suggest the wide version for a better fit. Performance: Solid stability and a comfortable ride. It’s a bit heavy for fast sessions, but the support is perfect for easy recovery miles.

This is a great shoe for flat footed runners like myself. I’ve used a few different shoes from ASICS, On, Adidas and had the previous version of the 860, while also trying different combinations with insoles, and this has the best mixture of support, cushion, weight, and responsiveness in a stability shoe. The stability plane does its job. I took out my orthotic that I used to think was mandatory to keep my PTT issues at bay but it definitely feels that there’s enough support to combat my over pronation. The fresh foam is nothing new, and while I would’ve liked to try the Infinion foam that’s present in the 1080 it still makes for a cushioned and responsive shoe. The base of this version feels wider, and I felt stable and supported in every stride. Stability shoes have to balance weight and support with speed an responsiveness, and this shoe does this well. While ASICS and other brands have gone away from a traditional stability lost in favor of geometric stability, the 860 says if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The upper feels premium and snug. The overall design fits right in with New Balance’s current offerings and I always appreciate reflective elements in the logo and other parts of the shoe. Overall, this so far has solved my search for a stability daily trainer. Being able to slip them on with no orthotic and get the right balance of support and responsiveness made me love this shoe. While I don’t see it as a race day shoe, it’s certainly a daily driver that’ll have a spot in the rotation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 860 v15 continues to be one of the more supportive stability shoes on the market. It has a full length wedge to avoid falling into excessive pronation. The ride is good overall, but they do feel a bit more on the firm side (this can be a great thing if it’s what you’re looking for). I find that the geometry of the shoe keeps my weight more lateral when transitioning. This is a shoe I will keep in my weekly rotation so give some relief to stabilizing muscles as the rest of my rotation is heavily neutral.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 860 is a great daily trainer for runners of all abilities. I would highly encourage this shoe for anyone in need of some ankle stability!

Great shoe, especially for flat feet. It provides solid support and stays comfortable for running and long walks. Would love to see more color options!

Great fit. Comfortable from first wear and supportive.

Very pleased with the new 860's. The update to the foam and design is much welcomed, and in my view an improvement on the previous model. It is supportive but not overly firm

Wide fit to fit athritic feet into with comfort and support enabling me to do 5000 steps a day at 80 years old.
