The shoe is fine; the question for me will be how long it stands up before the sole wears out, and I cannot answer that yet

I like the feel of the shoe, but as with all of my other New Balance shoes, I have to add a secondary arch support. Not sure why the just don't put a better arch support to begin with

I wish you had a greater selection of size 12, 4E. I do like New Balance and would try other styles but not sized for me. The limited selection forces me to. Look at sneaker manufactures. Please make an effort to carry a wider variety of styles in larger and wider sizes. Otherwise, I may find a better sneaker elsewhere, thanks for your consideration.

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!

As mentioned, these shoes run a half size smaller than the standard sizes. I have worn an NB 12 for years and this 12 was too small and I needed to exchange them. Very comfy shoe with great cushion and support.

Been using 860v11 for daily runs. Upgraded to 860v12. Shoes provide comfy and stable fit. Provides support for over pronation.

Size is right and fit pretty well. I have been using it for jogging for 5 months and so far so good.

First time for 860's, I usually wear 1080's. They fit my wide feet and have great toe room.

These fit great and the soles look like they should last a while. I walk several miles every morning and had worn Asics for years. Lately the soles have worn out after around 150 miles, too expensive to replace every other month so it was time to switch brands. So far so good.

I would recommend this shoe to people who have wide feet. More and more companies are making wide shoes, but this shoe is the only one I found that fits me properly and without any discomfort.

9 out of my last 10 pairs of running shoes have been NB. This is the first time that I've found them to be smaller, in terms of width, than advertised. The shoe itself is comfortable enough for walking/running shorter distances, but by about mile 4, my feet are starting to hurt. I've put over 80 miles on them so far, but I'll be looking for another pair to wear on longer distance runs. I'll keep these for shorter ones.

I like the consistency of fit and feel over the last decade+ for my NB sneakers. Have had 4-5 pairs.

I have a hard time finding shoes and usually have to buy 11.5 EE/EEEE or 12 EEEE. These feel perfect.

I've been buying 860s for years. The new heal is less comfortable. IMO the new colors are pretty bad.
Same great toe box though.

I use the shoe at the gym for my regular fitness workouts and casual walking about shoes. The colors are great and the size 12 fit and form are just right. I noticed some reviewers commented that the laces are too short and I agree. A bit longer lace would be better. Otherwise, I love the style and comfort the shoe offers.
