My husband is using the sneakers on our treadmill and they're comfortable and work well. He hasn't worn them outside yet.

For playing on clay court. Since I used them twice, I probably can't return them. They are large!

I walk 4 - 6 miles daily, no sore feet, very comfortable. I finally have a shoe that fits my 11.5 4e foot with some color to it. Black, white and grey are boring.

These provide good stability as well as good cushioning. They are a definite upgrade from the 860v.11.

I use my 860's for cross training at the gym. They are comfortable and offer good support. I ordered them online and returned them to a NB retail store because they were too narrow and tight. I bought the same 860 but with a wider fit.

I am a nurse and am on my feet constantly for 8-12 hours a day. These shoes allow me to work and my feet don't hurt afterward. Excellent buy.

So, I love the 860. I've owned many pairs. I use mine to walk every day and they are perfect for my wide, flat feet. I loved the v11 and when the v12 came out I took the plunge and they are good except...I preferred the back of the v11. The v12 is a little too stiff and sometimes rubs against my ankles in an annoying way. I know it's minor, and I'd still buy another pair but, the v11 back was just a little bit better, at least for me. Other than that, these are great shoes.

This Fresh Foam shoe has all the fine features of a NB shoe except for the sizing. Reviews led me to order a larger size but 4Es are missing and this model is significantly undersized in length and width. After decades of wearing NB shoes, it is disappointing to have them made off-shore and apparently unable to design with N.A. lasts sizes. This trend makes it impossible for me to buy a 10.5 4E shoe and know it will fit almost every time. For the first time, I returned a NB shoe and ordered from another brand.

Not happy about the change in fit. I have had several 860s in the past and loved them.

New Balance is cutting back on the material there using by making smaller shoes. A 2E width use to fit me fine now there tight. I have been buying new balance for years but not anymore. The 860 does not even come close to the old 840.

Had the 860v11 and loved the feel under foot. The heel fit was good but I wasn’t wild about the material used.
The v12 is a HUGE improvement in that aspect. Fits like a traditional shoe but has the high back on the heel. My heels feel locked in place and not uncomfortably so. These are still incredibly comfortable with the changes. Outstanding shoe.

My podiatrist strongly recommended the NB 860 series. I love the new style that came out. The NB 860 shoe line wears well over time. It is the only sneaker I will by now.

I think New Balance could spring for laces that don't open unless double knotted.
other than that love the V12
