Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

This is my 8th pair of 860's. I have a wide foot ( 6 1/2 W ) and had spent years trying to find shoes that are comfortable. Although some of the 860 versions are better than others, they consistently work for me. Great arch support, stretchy enough to accommodate my odd feet, and they wear very well. I walk on a treadmill and am on my feet alot around the house/shopping. The New Balance store close to me closed, but since I know the exact shoe I love, ordering from Newbalance.com is perfect. Very easy.

I have bought another brand for the last 10 years, but after some foot issues, the doctor told me to try these for the larger tow box and cushionwhich he was right! Maybe my new go-to for running!

Love my new balance it was exactly what I order. Great fit, I have purchased other models for gifts had I have my mom which is 80 years and she doesn't go out without her new balance 860v Xwide she has problems with her feet and she says that never had such comfortable shoes ever.

I'm a marathoner who over-pronates, and these are my go-to's. Last forever, great for my knees. Super breathable fabric, roomy toebox, sturdy backtab that doesn't dig into the heels. Love it! Design 10/10 Colors 10/10 Longevity 9/10

I use it for everyday walking-groceries-shopping, etc. Did NOT expect it to be as comfortable as it is. During the pandemic- I lived in slippers & slide ons- if I needed to go out. Therefore - I needed an xx-wide width. I only wish I could get more. Hopefully the stock will be replenished soon.

Good-looking shoe in a variety of colors. I like it for walking around the house or the block. It is a shoe that might run a bit smaller. I have no problem with my right shoe, but if my left foot swell's than no shoe that is my correct size will work either. If I don't swell then I have the perfect shoe.

Even athletic shoes are hard to find for my wide feed. These are very comfortable, good wide/ deep toe box and are a dream to walk in. I will definitely get more of these.

No longer feel the aches in my shins and legs. These shoes provide amazing support for running on both treadmill and road. Order fit perfect to measurement.

Love how my Fresh Foam X 850v13 fit. So comfortable, I have issues with the bottom of my feet. No inserts needed. Will be purchasing more soon.

Walk. This style & size fit perfectly no matter what color it is. And the brighter the color the better. I have used NB and this style for at least 10 years and don't plan on changing.

I am on my fifth pair of foam New Balance sneakers. They did not wear out, I just like them so much that I have ordered new colors. My last pair is Midnight Blue with a strip of orange. The foam in the sneakers enhance the comfort. I, especially, like the wide size.

My orthopedist recommended this shoe for my foot issues, and I love these shoes so much that I have them in 3 colors. They are so soft and comfortable that I no longer have foot pain. As a senior, I find these shoes easier to get on and tie than prior 860 styles. Great style and a great fit!

These shoes made a huge difference in my walking comfort. Highly recommend!

I do not run more than 10 miles a week and these shoes are great for me. I'm mostly on dirt roads and feel supported without too much squish.

The shoe is perfect . The issue is I wear a narrow . They are impossible to find . I found this online after about a long 2 week search of all of the running stores in my area, a call to all of the New Balance stores in St. Louis and an out right search . I am happy to have found them but a bit crazy !!

I have very flat feet and this new version of the 860 line offers great stability. I ordered wide which turned out to be too wide for me so I had to exchange but definitely recommend if you need stability. They are super comfortable also. I also appreciate the larger size range as I wear a size 12.

Not too much cushion. Not too stiff. Not to wide and not too narrow. I've tried every shoe on the market. Including new balance. This update has been the best yet. I had to buy and send back shoes wanting to wear them. My feet are thin and LONG, but I have BUNIONS.

Love my shoes! They have a stylish color and well made design.

I have wide feet and have had two hip surgeries so good walking shoes are important tome! These are just great!

I have a high arch, wide feet and foot issues. These sneakers are awesome. This is my 4th or 5th pair of this style. I can walk miles and my feet do not hurt. I've had no recurrence of my heel problem. The shoe is wide enough so I have no rubbing. Highly recommend.
