The 860v12 is a beautiful athletic shoe - lightweight, well made, comfortable. The shoes provide support and cushioning, and they look great.

I need the x60 stability for street running and I need a wide size. Availability in the stores is very hit and miss so I was very pleased that I was able to get these shoes direct from NB with free shipping to boot! I've only been running with them for a little over a week so the jury is still out but so far so good. I have the stability and comfort that I need. As soon as I break them in a little more, I expect great things.

Liked the shape of the toe box vs. my earlier 880's. More room for my toes.

I wear an Exosym which is a hybrid prosthetic-orthotic device on my right leg. It requires a 4E width shoe. The 860 has been a great fit with the device. Been a lifelong runner and NB has been my preferred shoe.

I have owned approximately 15 pairs of 860's the last several years. They have great support & hold up to a great deal of use.usually get 250-300 miles out of each pair. Come in great colors! Currently own 5 pair.

They were true to width which is the most important fit for me. They are also comfortable and stylish.

Stitching on lateral forefoot irritated toe. Feels good underfoot at initial try on. Had to return due to sizing.

I don't know what this trend towards narrower shoes is about in recent years, but I only switched to NB from other brands because they were still wide enough to fit comfortably. This pair is a complete disappointment. I'd send them back if I had a decent pair to use while I wait on a replacement. I'm on my feet all day and don't appreciate having to "break in" a pair of shoes at this price point when I haven't had to in the past.

Stitching on the side seems to reduce forefoot upper flexibility and irritate 5th toe some. Overall good shoe underfoot.

Bought this in a 15w. The wide fit is what I’ve needed all these years! The only drawback is that I’ve had some heel pain but I got some insole inserts and it’s all good now.

For shoes that are Extra Width in size, why are the length of the shoestrings not longer?

I wear these shoes full day for everyday use. They are comfortable and light weight and give my flat feet needed support.

I've ordered the same New Balance shoe for years - same size and same type. These do not fit the same (shorter.) They changed the back of the shoe to something much more uncomfortable and after only a short use, my legs and feet were killing me. I'm so disappointed.

Coming from a the 860 v9, these feel great. That being said, sizing does appear to run small by about 1/2 a size, laces are shorter, and there is a stiffer heel collar. Not dealbreakers for me, though. Shipping was fast, though (MO to IL).

These are very comfy, and breathable. I ordered size 8.5 4E, I have two other New Balance shoes same size and width and these fit the same.
