Fit and size was on point. Material felt fine. After wearing for about 6 hours feet were aching. Compared to the 880v11 which are way more comfortable, at least for my feet after wearing them for the same amount of time.
I'd also recommend:
Earlier model Brooks Beast 18 and earlier.

I called Customer Service to help me choose the right shoe for me. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. They helped me find the right shoe for me. After 44 years of running with New Balance I'm glad that I can still rely on them when I need them.

I walk 2.5-3 miles per day with my dog and these are extremely comfortable; I got the wider width and it makes a difference. Waiting to see how the arch support holds up.

I'm using these as my everyday sneaker and for work. I'm on my feet 6+ hours per day and they are very comfortable. The fresh foam provides just the right amount of cushioning.

I have worn a lot of shoes over the 67 years on this world and these are by far the best. Comfortable is key!!! I will buy another pair for a big trip to Italy because of the comfort and light weight.

I work in healthcare in an Emergency Department and after a two or three day break in period these sneakers have been fantastic. Great arch support and cushion for heel strike. Even after running around for 12 hours my feet are only a little sore at the end of the day which is amazing. I bought these to replace another pair of new balances that lasted me almost a year, and after buying these I think new balance is definitely going to be my work shoe brand going forward. Great looking too!

The website said this model came in B width and after receiving them, saw they do not come in B width after all even they show up on the website as being made in B width. I have very narrow feet and can actually wear a AA but can settle for B. Not many shoes are made that narrow and the ones that are aren't very appealing. Its very frustrating to finally see a decent looking shoe advertised in near my size just to realize, once again, its incorrect.

Very comfortable for my long walks, I take 3 six mile walk a week and when I finish, take my shoes off my feet are in good shape, they feel fine. I love the look but most important is the comfort.

Width was snug for 4E but they are the best of several brands I tried.

I've been a fan for years.. bought many 860's thought I would try the fresh Foam..bought them on line. size 10... I compared the insoles from the new with the old and there is a slight size difference..new one is smaller..toe rubs the front of the shoe now. different factory?

I use these for walking primarily. Light weight, nice colors, roomy toe box. My only complaints are there is no arch support so I had to buy inserts, and the price, imo, was mighty high.

I can't recall which 860 version I started with, but I see myself continuing with this reliable running shoe that fits my stability needs for years to come. This version so far is working well, and I believe it's an improvement over the last. I like the heel cup much better.

The comfort and fit of the shoe is great. I was disappointed in the color. The picture looked like a blue grey but in reality it's more neon blue.
