Comfortable for son's wide foot. No complaints though sizing chart is off about 1 size too small. Had to reorder 1 size bigger than measured according to sizing chart.

I've been running in the 860s for the past 2 or 3 years and this is by far my favorite. Was able to wear them in a 50k after only wearing them once or twice before the race and never had any problems. I love these shoes!

I had to return them, first time ever for me with new balances. The insole on the right shoe had an odd bump near my heel. It was causing pain while walking. It was weird because the left shoe was fine. I think it was a one off defect.

Run every other day. Usually about 40 minutes. Running workouts vary; sometimes hills, sometimes fartlek, etc. All on asphalt.

I was experiencing unusual soreness in my calf muscles, hips, and knees after running in my old shoes. After running in my new Fresh Foam X shoes, I no longer have any issues! Bring it on Summer! AWESOME!

It's a good one! I use this shoe for my easy runs and for my long runs. It fits me well, feels comfortable and gives me good support. When they wear out I'm likely to buy it again.

I teach exercise classes at the local Senior Activity Center 5 hours a week. I have been wearing New Balance shoes for the past 12 years and while I have never been disappointed, my new Fresh Foam 860's are the most comfortable best supportive shoes I have ever worn! Within a week of getting my first pair, I already ordered a second.

I over-pronate by a LOT. These shoes help with that and are still super comfortable for me. Runs true to size and width. Just grand.

the muted green color. The new pair turned out to be a darker blue than it appeared online, a negative quality, but I will keep them. I dislike the thin laces, which are harder for me to tie, and I have less confidence that they will hold up and stay tied. They fit as well as the v9 pair. I prefer to have the NB letters be more muted, like the version 9 860 shoe.

I've been wearing 860s since version 4. Love the fit and performance. Wear them for walking and hiking easy trails. Very comfortable and supportive of my flat feet.

Previous version hurt my foot. This version is much better. It's feels better in my foot. Feels lighter and quicker. I get the 860 every year. Please let return users test these shoes yearly.

I walk between 4 and 11 miles a night on concrete hospital floors, so far I'd say these are the most comfortable shoe I've had in a while. I rotate my shoes daily to keep the wear down but after a month these shoes are holding up really well.

Replaced my 860v10 with these, but they do not even feel close to the same as the old pair. I've had these for about a month and have logged about 25-30 miles. I keep hoping that they will break in but it seems like they aren't getting any better. The only positive is that they fit the same so they are true to size.

Finally found the the shoe with the right balance of stiffness and comfort. I have both the V11 and V12 now. TheV12 has a touch more foam. I'm kinda between D and 2E normally but the 880 2E is perfect.

I was worried that these shoes would not fit like other ones. However, these are perfect and happy I purchased them. The delivery took longer than expected.

I use to have 860v6 sometime. The 860 is the shape fits my foot. These v12 are impressive now with nice color options. I went full black to make it look like a casuals for office in addition to running
