Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

I've been looking for a new stability shoe after the last few versions of Gel Kayanos got progressively worse. These 860s are great, I'm slowly increasing my weekly mileage and will definitely buy again!

Too soft and squishy. Unstable for walking. Not worth the money.

This is just like it's predecessor which I wore out. It's a perfect fit for my wide, wide feet. It looks good. It feels good.

Ran on the 1080 for years and would wear out the outside heels within 6 months. Did some research and called New Balance. Decided to try the 860 and made a hugh difference. I feel like me feet are level rather than at angle, also felt like I had much control. Anyone with a similar problem, I highly recommend changing to the 860.

Not quite as built up as the old versions but very soft on the foot. They feel a lot warmer.

Great shoes for walking. Good fit! I am enjoying extra cushioning.

Shoes feel great running. My only issue is that I have very wide feet and the 4e version of this shoe really doesn't feel like a 4e width.

Great fit right out of the box on E width. Stable and firm sole which is what I need, but can feel it starting to break down from mid-sole thru the toe box. Will have to wait them out.

I use the product for everyday use Running and Walking. I find the product to be very cushionary, which I really enjoy the support. I have found that in my size (11), that the left shoe is a little tighter than the right. I have found this on 2 pairs of 880's and 1 pair of 860's. price is great and I am pleased overall!

Going to use my new soft foam shoes for walking the Camino in Portugal and Spain next week. This is my 3rd pair of soft foam.

Everyday walking and occasional running to give my running shoes a break .

Fit is bigger then expected but good shoes. Nice color.

Wish they were more comfortable, I have other NB which are more comfortable by far.

I have been a 860 user since introduction. This v12 is the best in terms of fit and support (so far, used it for couple weeks).

These are a great pair of sneakers. As always, New Balance doesn't disappoint. My son tells me that they're comfortable. He's been wearing New Balance since elementary school! And this style had so many color choices in a men's 12.5.

Very un comfortable Can wear only short time, even put in gel Inserts. Feet hurt after walking in them. Will never buy again.

My son always wears a medium width, and has a narrow heel. These shoes were too tight even with no socks. Exchanging for wide. I hope it works.

3-5 miles daily runs. Very comfortable. I have been wearing NB for over 20 years exclusively because they offer wide sizes. I am always 2E. I got these in V11 2E and the shoe was too wide. This time standard width. Much better fit.

Thank you NB for making such wide shoe for people in need.

My shoes were needing an update. Used mostly as gym shoes they are ten years old and very comfortable. I was pleased with how soon my new shoes felt as comfortable and they look so much better. Off to a new decade.
