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

These are great shoes for walking and everyday use. The "cushiest".

Great shoe true to form. This is the fourth show of the 860 series I owe. I buy a new pair every year. Great shoe!

I wore these shows for about thirty minutes and there is something about how they are designed where they tended to want to make my ankle role toward the outside of my foot. In the short time I wore them it happed at least three times so I returned them.

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've been wearing the 840s (9.5 4E) for a few years. Even though these were the same size, they were nowhere near as wide as the other show. Way too narrow on the front of the foot. The ball of the foot was out over the edge of the shoe. Not wearable, and I returned them. Ended up with a Brooks Dyad 10 4E, which fit a lot better.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks Dyad (1/2 size larger)

This is an almost perfect shoe, especially, if younhave wide feet. Unfortunately, there is a hard piece of plastic on the outside of the tow which nearly rubbed a whole in the top of my pinky toes after one prolonged wear.

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 was not sure if I wanted to get the new version NB 860's based on reviews. I really liked my old ones which became very comfortable. I did go ahead and buy the new version v12 860 and I am very happy with them with the (exception of the tongue not staying put. ) why do companies change a good thing?

I have been wearing 860s for years now and love them. This is my third pair. These are a little tight but should break in soon.
The biggest issue I have was paying for 1 day shipping ($25) and receiving them almost a week later. I needed them for a trip and they arrived the day after I left. Should probably ask for a refund on the shipping,

I use the shoes for everyday wear, and especially for long dog walks. They are comfortable and well built, but seem to be slightly small. I've been wearing a size 13 in Brooks for some time, and ordered the same for New Balance.

When using the heel-lock lace holes the plastic hole insert doesn't allow laces to glide smoothly, making shoes difficult to lace and unlace

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.
