Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

I have been a loyal fan of New Balance for decades and am very pleased with the 860s. I wear a wide shoe and the fit is excellent. I also like the structure of the shoe that gives excellent support. It is the diametric opposite of my experience with a pair of 880s. I was surprised at the poor stability of the shoe which exacerbated a long-time foot injury. Salespeople at New Balance stores should be better trained. Proper advice could have avoided the problem, not to mention a waste of around $150. If you sell a technical shoe, then you need well-trained salespeople to sell the right shoe to a customer.

This pair of new balance had true comfort right out of the box didn't need time to break in or wear time like a lot of competitors. The pair is very stylish as well, couldn't be happier.

I love the shoe! I walk 6 to 8 miles every other day and weight training on the off days

Wore them on my 20 mile training run. Felt great, most importantly my feet felt fine. No issues with hot spots. Feet didn't feel tired. Enough spring or cushion whatever it is that keeps feet and legs from getting pounded and tired.

Love the fit always NB they work for me gym walking, golf

My son, who runs cross country, loves these shoes. He needs more ankle support & he really likes these for that reason. He wore the v11 last season & likes the v12s much better. He has 2 pairs. He's put in a lot of mileage this summer, and his feet and ankles feel great.

They came in a timely manner. Packaged very well. The insoles feel cushy! And the colors are so wonderfully bright! He said they fit perfectly and that he loved them! Happy boy.

I typically run 1-3 miles at a time so not a distance guy, but these have lasted longer than I'd expect them to. And super comfortable ride.

Great fit great feel and i honestly love these shoes more then the v11 version of the 860 I'd recommend.

I am so excited to finally find an extra wide shoe that comes in colors! The fit is perfect please don't change a thing. After years of wearing Hoka I've been disappointing by their lack of Variety in shoes For us extra wide feet. I think the price is phenomenal and I will definitely be shopping online with new balance more

Bought them for my husband happy that they came in wide width so was he

fits true to size - many retailers to not have enough inventory and I was able to get these shoes quicker directly from NB

For now, I use them for my runs and to work because they are comfortable not tight.

I bought these as backups to the neon green pair I am currently wearing. I use these as my walking shoes so all the neighbors know who I am when they see me in green shoes and my matching neon green ball cap.

Very comfortable and the foam cushioning is amazing. I feel like I am walking on air. The fit is a bit snug, but should loosen with wear. My only complaint is the laces need to be longer. Almost too short to tie and it can take several tries to securely tie each shoe.

I have a arch issues so the New Balance are the best shoe I found to help with arch
