Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

This was the fifth pair I have owned, however this pair was to tight and the shoestrings were so short I could barely lace the shoes up. I sent the shoes back then switched brands

Love these shoes. Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

I've been running in 860's for 10 or so years. These foam cushion v12 are super comfortable. I have flat caveman feet and need the support the stability platform offers. Highly recommended!

I travel at Airports that have a considerably amount of Walking

I have been a loyal fan of New Balance for decades and am very pleased with the 860s. I wear a wide shoe and the fit is excellent. I also like the structure of the shoe that gives excellent support. It is the diametric opposite of my experience with a pair of 880s. I was surprised at the poor stability of the shoe which exacerbated a long-time foot injury. Salespeople at New Balance stores should be better trained. Proper advice could have avoided the problem, not to mention a waste of around $150. If you sell a technical shoe, then you need well-trained salespeople to sell the right shoe to a customer.

Thought I was buying i stability shoe. Not even motion control.

This pair of new balance had true comfort right out of the box didn't need time to break in or wear time like a lot of competitors. The pair is very stylish as well, couldn't be happier.

I love the shoe! I walk 6 to 8 miles every other day and weight training on the off days

Wore them on my 20 mile training run. Felt great, most importantly my feet felt fine. No issues with hot spots. Feet didn't feel tired. Enough spring or cushion whatever it is that keeps feet and legs from getting pounded and tired.

Love the fit always NB they work for me gym walking, golf

My son, who runs cross country, loves these shoes. He needs more ankle support & he really likes these for that reason. He wore the v11 last season & likes the v12s much better. He has 2 pairs. He's put in a lot of mileage this summer, and his feet and ankles feel great.

Very good product but unfortunately the laces are very short. Wish they were longer.

The fit is great. I ordered extra wide for my very wide feet and they're excellent. Wish they had more cushion though.

Ordered M860G12 (v12) to replace a worn out M860BK9 (v9). The new sneakers are almost as comfortable as the last part but they are made slightly different.The rubber on the lower part of the upper fabric comes higher up on the front of the toe box and can catch the big toe. Not sure if I'll need to put a piece of moleskin or something to prevent this. Otherwise time will tell if this pair will last as long as the old v9 which was a long time. Don't get caught in the rain with either version but they do breath very well.

Used for longish walks. Good cushion and general fit. I wear a wide and these seem a little more narrow than previous models, but serviceable. Otherwise very comfortable.

They came in a timely manner. Packaged very well. The insoles feel cushy! And the colors are so wonderfully bright! He said they fit perfectly and that he loved them! Happy boy.

I typically run 1-3 miles at a time so not a distance guy, but these have lasted longer than I'd expect them to. And super comfortable ride.

Great fit great feel and i honestly love these shoes more then the v11 version of the 860 I'd recommend.
