Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

Great look and fit. Extremely comfortable.

These extremely cushy, comfortable runners. Being a big guy, it is tough to find solid, stable runners that fit properly. The wide sizing provides the proper toe box for foot splaying and is a more natural feel when running. I have only 10+ miles in them but so far, I am happy with the shoe. Getting the sizing right and width makes all of the difference in ride. Thanks NB for having the wide options.

Now that I found the correct shoe like the 2 I was fitted with for my hips, I will eventually purchase more in other colors. Thank you!

I need the stability this shoe offers as I am an over pronater and slightly over weight. Shoe is very comfortable and supportive. Order one half size up though as it runs small

Unleaded every day. Multiple pairs in case of rain

The Toe Box is wide enough for my wide foot (14-2E) and you can remove the insole to be able to put your orthotic in and off you go. the Fresh Foam gives you that extra cushion for a little more bounce - you can wear them all day!! they are a little tiny bit on the larger side but that's ok with me.

The shoes feel great and I got a lot of compliments about them

These new V12's are the most comfortable shoe I have worn to date. I broke my right foot racing motorcycles back in the 70's. New Balance is the only shoe I have worn since then because they have the toe box width I need to not pinch my toes and cause severe nerve pain. Thanks New Balance for always coming through for me with comfortable shoes.

Used the old 840v3's for both running and daily walking, went through 4 (or5?) pairs. Decided to go for a pure running shoe this time, the 860, and absolutely LOVE them; so much lighter than 840's, and absolutely beautiful "aluminum" color. The shipping time was almost instantaneous: the shoes arrived the same day as the notice that they'd been shipped.

Very comfortable while walking

I normally buy ASICS Kayano for long distance running. I decided to check out other shoe brands because I was not really liking the new features/designs that Kayano was receiving. I bought this shoe based on reviews from various runners and also because of the price point, color and width options. I have run in these shoes three times already (total 20 miles) and I am very satisfied. It is very comfortable and I did not have to break it in--it felt broken in already. I highly recommend this shoe as it has many colorways and width options. My only regrets are I did not buy it sooner AND I should have bought two pairs!

They are my go-to running shoe.

Out of all the "Foam" shoes NB makes the 860 is my favorite. This shoe is only second to the 940 in terms of comfort. The V12 is a big improvement over the V10 and V11 models. I wear a Wide shoe so I hope the V13 is just a bit wider in the shoe box. If the 860 is ever going to surpass the 1260 or even the 940 the shoe still needs more cushioning for heavier runners. One more thing, please include longer shoelaces as they are the shortest of any NB model.

fit very well

Great foot support and. Ones in wide sizes

My husband loves these they come in xl xxl

I'm 75 years old and I've been running since I was 15. For many decades now I've needed orthotics to prevent over-pronation injuries. No longer! The 860v12 wide fit keeps me stable (physically) and in comfort!

Walking

Comfortable shoe, great purchase. Spend a significant amount of my day walking and working outside, these shoes have made a real difference
