The extra Arch Support is great for my Plantar Fasciitis! Wear them every day, all day for work and casual living. I also liked the color choices. Too many times the only choices are grey, black, and white.

I only buy New Balance. They fit is great, and they have a wide width in many styles.

This is my 8th pair of shoes in the last 10 years and I know I can trust in the quality

The 860 is my go-to shoe for comfort for wide feet, with lots of box space for toes. It stays fairly light in weight so it's a great performance shoe for me, and I'm able to run half-marathons in it with comfort and ease. I buy 2 pairs per year with all the running I do (4x per week).

Needed an extra wide shoe with good support. I have tried many other brands, but came back to New Balance. This shoe really is the best shoe I've worn. I walk 4kms each day with my dog and my feet are not sore. They fit great. I love the back of the shoe which protrudes outward on the top. Saves any chance of rubbing against the heel. It's by far the most expensive shoe I've owned, but after walking in them for over a month, It's well worth the money.

The shoes felt great out of the box. They were true to size and width. With a size 16 foot ,shoes always look bulky. The ones I ordered did not fit that definition. I will buy another pair.

I've been wearing the 860 for years. The latest version is great - this is my second pair of the V12. Fits great. Rides beautifully. My first pair of V12 lasted well. I'll wear Borge for a while. Of course, there's nothing like wearing that good fitting new pair of shoes for the first few weeks.

I'm a relatively non-athletic person with flat feet that overpronate. I've been using them for jogging and city walks and noticed I naturally step more on the outsides of my feet with these, all while still getting a comfortable foamy experience.
They also look pretty stylish! I don't mind wearing them out in the city.

They fit like a glove. I’m using my own inserts and it’s hard to find the right shoes for walking. But this fit perfect. Quality is very good. Only the laces are too short.

Due to a leg injury I've been wearing 860s, size 9.5, EEEE, for the past 13 years to accommodate a leg brace. Same boring colors year after year. You finally put some colors into this size. I'm wearing the lime green. By the way, these are great shoes - very comfortable.

I bought this shoe for a jogger. The sizing and width (X-wide) are a perfect fit. They're comfortable during runs with a good amount of cushioning and support. And the variety of colors available in a wide variety of colors made picking the right color easy.

I have very flat, wide feet and generally have trouble finding running shoes that work. The 940 has been my choice for years, but wasn't available in my wide size, so I tried the 860. I think the foam gives more cushion and slightly less support, but not enough to cause problems. The mesh upper is significantly lighter and more airy, though I'm a little concerned about longevity. Overall, I am happy with it.

They are perfect! In fact, I told the Director of Security at the hospital I work at and she told me to take a picture of them so she could see what they looked like.
I said, "why would YOU be so interested in a picture of the shoes? And she replied, "because, maybe I'll buy the same pair! I was shocked!
These shoes are perfect! I only need a pair of socks and no additional padding is necessary. As far as, inserts or insoles. I can just grab my shoes and go! Thanks, New Balance!

I'm more of a walker/jogger and this shoe is well-built and comfortable for my wide feet.
