Husband is very happy with these shoes. He really likes New Balance and he likes this color. He has a high arch and said with just the shoe liner there isn't much arch support, but he's OK for now. May transfer an insert to improve.

I do a fair amount of walking on road and off. Have purchased shoes from all the top names and this shoe is one of my favorites. The size seems to be true and it is very comfortable. I was disappointed to learn New Balance did not offer a Military discount on this particular model..

I know they are supposed to be running shoes, but I have two pairs as my dedicated pickleball shoes. They are nice and cushioned well, yet the heel is narrow, so you can move sideways without catching it. I've worn other NB shoes for pickleball and they didn't have enough cushion. I live in a community with a 1200 member pickleball club so it's serious and competitive. These shoes have held up great, and performed well.

This is one of the best New Balance sneakers I have purchased. They hit a home run with me and I'll order several more before they're out of stock

I notice I lean more forward in these shoes than I have in similar NB sneakers, which feels more comfortable when I'm trying to walk fast.

860 G12 4E Comfortable quality made shoe
Long time customer
Shoelace eyelets are symmetrical to each other
Same number on each side. More user friendly
Easier to lace up than the
860 G 10 4E which has four on one side and five on the other.

These shoes are awesome. I have wide feet and usually a 10 but the person at the store convinced me to go 10.5 and my feet are very happy . New Balance makes the best running shoes period.

I bought another brand about 6 months ago after wearing NB for years, (won't mention the name). Same size but just didn't fit as well as the NB and after months of trying to break them in I gave up and bought a pair of the 860 v12. I'll
never make that mistake again.
I don't run anymore due to bi-lateral knee replacements but I wear athletic shoes everyday and still stay pretty active.

I've ran several half marathons and a full marathon and these shoes have felt the best as of now for me. They are soft on the street when running and also feels nice as well on the treadmill. Strongly recommend this shoes for anyone who's interested in running some distance.

I wear these shoes mostly for walking and they are incredibly comfortable and light. I used to have planter's fasciitis and New Balance keeps that from coming back. I wish there were better color choices, but the black/white looks amazing and I like how the "N" is implemented on this model as a raised outline of the letter in a firm material and not just a sticker-like patch.

This was a perfect fit if you are a 26.5 cm or 8.5 it has a square toe box so plenty of room for the toes. Very comfortable and it has mesh for great breathability. Great stability and the cushion is perfect. I spend 8 hr s standing and running in these shoes and they deliver.

Replaced my 860v11 with these, and I could tell a difference immediately. I overpronate, and these are the best shoes I've ever had.

I have used the 860's for years. The V12's seem to be a little stiffer and the toe box is clearly a little smaller. The same 9 1/2 felt a little smaller at first but broke in. The new colors and design are much better
