Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

Not quite as built up as the old versions but very soft on the foot. They feel a lot warmer.

Shoes feel great running. My only issue is that I have very wide feet and the 4e version of this shoe really doesn't feel like a 4e width.

I use the product for everyday use Running and Walking. I find the product to be very cushionary, which I really enjoy the support. I have found that in my size (11), that the left shoe is a little tighter than the right. I have found this on 2 pairs of 880's and 1 pair of 860's. price is great and I am pleased overall!

Fit is bigger then expected but good shoes. Nice color.

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.

Excellent as advertised. Good fit. Attractive and comfortable

As usual, the NB shoes fit perfectly in the way I have come to expect. I need at least a EE shoe, and the lattitude of size choices from NB are one of the rteasons I have been a fan for many years. I love to walk, so keep a pair of shoes dedicated for that purpose and replace them as required, and I often opt for shoes designated as running shoes for that purpose. To this end, I always use the lock lace method of tying them to ensure they will not come loose. The pair of NB Fresh Foam X 860v12, although provided with the double eyelets to utilize a lock lace knot, came with a very short set of laces. I had never seen laces this short on a pair of NB shoes before and was quite disappointed in their length and seemingly less substantial quality.

I really enjoy this shoe... this is my second pair of the v12. The v12 is just as comfortable as the v11. One small thing I truly dislike about this shoe though.... why would you get rid of the tongue being secured by the elastic sides on the tongue. Now the tongue moves slightly to the outside of my foot. I HATE this. V13 needs to implement the tongue being secured on the sides by the elastic bands.....

Wear these everyday, but they seem to become untied more often than my previous New Balance sneakers. This is about my 50th pair of NBs.

These shoes are comfortable, true to expected size and width.

Excellent value and solid quality - the tongues seem to be shorter than previous shoes - I wonder if that's a cost saving initiative - if it is, it's a horrible idea.

I wear a 14 ex wide. I've tried other models that fit perfectly. This model is a little shorter and not as wide. Still a good shoe but I won't order this model again.

These V12's are the perfect fit for me. I had used the V7's thru V10's and stopped at the V10's because they were terrible. These are GREAT. However, the laces are too short (not so on the earlier pair bought in January). I would recommend!

I love the looks of the shoe and the shoe is perfect for my wide feet!

This is my 2nd pair needed a darker color for work

A great walking shoe that I would buy anytime. Unfortunately my size 12.5 W is hard to find and not always available.
