Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

I've been needing a new pair of walking shoes for months (years, really) and was convinced that I couldn't find another NB pair that I'd like as much as my 530 ENCAPS. These are fabulous - so comfortable! Perfectly snug through my arch and the middle and adequately spacious for my toes. My joints had been aching a bit after walks with the old shoes and the first time out wearing these -- I could notice a huge difference for the better. Love NB!

I usually purchase this particular sneaker and I am always very happy with my purchase. It is light weight and comfortable.

For over 20 yearsI have always purchased the 990v5 Core for work. I need the extra wide in my shoe. In nursing I was on my feet for long hours and my feet feel supported. This time I purchased this Fresh Foam X 860v12. I could not believe how light the show felt as compared to the other. I am very pleased with my purchase for comfort and appearance.

These shoes are so lightweight and comfortable! I am needing to wear them more for stability and am so glad I got a new pair.

I've had multiple surgeries on my feet and these are the best shoes I've ever found to stop the pain and fit right. Please don't ever stop making an extra wide width!!

This is probably my 8th pair of the 860 and I'm sure they'll be a 9th. They are easy to break in and so comfortable.

Love these shoes in black Will buy another pair soon Comfortable and great fit

Very comfortable, they run on the short side but have a lot of toe room.

I wear these for everyday use, as well as on trails. They are super comfortable, with great support and really good traction.

I broke my ankle in 2020 and have had 2 surgeries since then. This is one of the best sneakers that both support my injury and make a fashion statement. I recommend this brand.

I absolutely love these shoes! I am on my feet a lot and these are so comfortable! They are also super cute in person.

Omg...I am over 55 years old and I think I finally found my shoe for everyday. I use them for work and play. Love this shoe. Best thing you can do is get fitted at a store who specializes in running/walking shoes. Your going to pay more, but well worth it. They will recommend the best shoe for your feet. Mine just happened to be a pair of these from New Balance. They did recommend to go one size bigger with new inserts. Thank you New Balance.

I wear a 12N so of course I have problems finding any kind of shoes. But this NB fresh foam X 860v12 is amazing, fits perfectly. I have knee and back problems so getting the fit and comfort right is very important to me. These shoes do the trick!

I'm a fast woman who walks about 2-3 miles most days and these sneakers feel amazing!

I love them so much, I ordered a pair for my nephew and another pair for me. The only issue I have is that the shoe laces (47") are too short and difficult to tie twice to keep from coming undone. NB would not send me longer ties.

Love these shoes! So comfortable! These shoes really support my ankles, after two prior ankle sprains!

This is my second or third pair of this basic shoe. I'm a daily power-walker, covering 3.8-5 miles daily, and this shoe lasts for months on cement and asphalt. I would recommend it, and will buy it again.

The 860's are my favorite pair of tennis shoes. They wear well and fit well. I will continue to buy these and wear them as long as they keep making them.... PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM!!!

Ordered 7.5 wide-great for wide feet! Love the color!

My work demands me to be on my feet 10-18 hours/day. These shoes saved me from being miserable.

Love love love these shoes. I get the same number (860) every year as I have flat feet and these are the only shoes I've found that (with my orthotics) make my feet not hurt. Recommend for anyone with flat feet and need a lot of stability.

Excellent choice since I wear a wide fit. My favorite everyday shoes.

Great replacement for my previous model (no longer available) ....Love wearing these everyday!

I'm an ER nurse and comfortable, supportive shoes are a must. This is my 2nd pair and I love them!

I've used NB for 20+ years. Lately it's been hard to find a shoe that was comfortable for my senior life style. This shoe hits all the best points I love about NB. So I ordered two pair.
