Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

These are great shoes and I usually buy 2-3 pairs a year. Then I structuring in these are fantastic and something I would expect. Funnily enough, the laces on these particular model seem shorter than the ones in the past. I have a high volume foot and that is the only negative.

No break in needed. Fit well from day 1. I'm using these for exercise classes at the YMCA and daily walks

Great arch support. Overall Good for walking. I wish they would reinforce the top of the toe. My big toe keeps cutting through the material after several months.

Way too tight. I have been buying NB running shoes for 20. I have purchased multiple styles over the years. I always purchase 4x wide. These are no way close to 4x

Tongue slides to the side. Feels bulky compared to the 860 V11. I returned the 2 pairs i bought and found V11's online.

The 860v12 seems to have replaced older versions of 880 (which I've owned) in terms of a highly stable, long-range and all-around running and walking sneaker. The 860 provides firm cushion and the supportive medial post adds a lot to heal comfort and stability. You can see and feel the improvements from the latest technology. Overall it's very well-made, stylish, with sturdy construction. The 880 held up amazing well and I expect the 860v12 to do the same. The 860v12 is basically true to size, but I would say it feels slightly bigger than expected. Noticeable, but not enough to change sizes.

Terrific shoes, which fit well, well made & designed.

I have been wearing the 860 for several years and like the shoe very much. However, a problem I have with Version 12 is that the tongue of the shoe slips to the side while I am wearing the shoes. I have not had this problem with previous versions of the 860.

Great shoe if you only require good cushion and support. If you need more than most, just go straight to Hoka's

I use mine for walking and they provide great stability.... lighter than my older pair of NB...

This shoes is very good and really comforting make me feel really happy

I first bought a normal width shoe, but I had to exchange it for a 2E wide. They seem to be running narrow this year.

The shoe no longer fits me as the fit around the toes is too snug and no longer comfortable. I have had to look for other options

This shoe is well made but, could have a little more cushion.

Love the shoes. I ordered E width, which used to fit me fine. A tad narrow this time; next time I'll try to order extra wide (EE width?)

I really love cushioning. I bought these shoes previously and they were fine (though the cushioning wore down pretty fast), but this time they seemed uncushioned right out of the box.

3 miles every other day on rough ranch roads. So far, they're holding up.

I actually purchased the white color, very cool, and a nice classic look with jeans, would have gave them a 5 star rating but the length is a little tight.
