Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 860v12

Not only are these super cute but they are comfortable and I love them

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable for walking and give me added stability. I am over 65 and deal with chronic pain and migraines and my balance isn't what it used to be.I can't say enough about these shoes except worth every penny.

I finally found another pair of New Balance in my size, 8WW and they are great. These help my feet and hips not hurt when I walk. I have morton's neuroma and plantar fasciitis in both feet and New Balance is the only brand wide enough to help. I just wish they would make more in my size.

It's hard to find a good running or walking shoe that is EXTRA WIDE for those of us that have bunions or wide feet. Fortunately, new balance does have a few selections that fit this criteria. I have several pair of the extra wide and love them. They are very comfortable and don't cause any pressure points on my feet. I wish New Balance had more of a selection of extra wide or at least have in stock the ones they do have.

I wear these shoes daily and absolutely love them and already got another pair! The toe box is wide and squared off with plenty of room to move toes. They offer good support for pronation with the support extending past the medial arch to the lateral part of the shoe. The shoes are made of soft but sturdy fabric and have cushioned inserts and soles that allow me to feel more stable as I can feel the ground while walking. The highlight of the shoe for me, that I have not found with any other shoe, is the softness around the inner side of the shoe by the ankle bone which is designed high enough to not irritate the navicular bones. The 860v12s felt perfect the moment that I put them on and required no breaking in time. Thank you so much. I hope that these shoes never change so I can continue to have happy feet all day long!

New Balance comes through yet again. Great cushion and perfect fit. Easy break in and comfortable long distance. Love them!!!

I will use the sneakers for Running, Jogging. Walking.

I ordered the x wide and it's perfect! So comfortable, no need to break in the shoe.

I use them for walking and workout in the gym. True to the fit very comfortable.

Love these new balance sneakers...I have a wide foot and a very high arch, finding sneakers that fit the bill is hard or when I do the sneakers seem to fall apart quickly. I sized up a half size, plenty of room in the toe box.

I love these shows so much. They proved cushioned support and I don't need to wear orthotics.

I really like my new shoes this is the first pair in a long time that I have not had to send back, great pair of shoes.

Good support, good fit, nice color, and lightweight.

So disappointed with the 860v11. The v12 has a full mesh upper. This accommodates the bunion on my foot.

I am overweight with bad knees, high arches and I overpronate in both feet. Needed a shoe with lots of cushion but enough support to keep me both stable and comfortable walking around Disneyland for 5 days. The rounded toe is so much better than other brands- I can actually move my toes and they aren't rubbing against the side of the shoe. And bonus, the white with the pastel colors is so cute and stylish. Even my teenage daughter likes them. She said "those look good mom, I've seen lots of kids wearing that style". I couldn't be more pleased!!

OK, close to 40 years of speedwalking here, Athena division, pronator. I've used Saucony (because good fit for wide feet) and Asics (good motion control), both helpful for my heavy heelstrike. Currently, though, this is the shoe that gets the job done. Good rebound cushioning, sturdy medial posting, accepts my orthotic, elastic material in uppers and laces means a glove-like fit. (Be warned that without a shoehorn, I'd never work my foot into even the D width but once on, the fit is perfect.) The only downside is that the outsole and midsole aren't quite as durable as I'm used to, and I killed two pairs under me (alternating use) in about ten months, wearing through outsole and well into midsole, while logging only 15 miles or so a week (still breaking in artificial hips). If I ramp back up to my typical lifetime mileage I'll have to look for something that doesn't break down as quickly, but all other things being equal, the cross between cushion and stability make these perfect for a pronator who hits the pavement hard. The funky colors are a treat.

Love the color and the comfort. I have been a New Balance customer for many many Years now

I was able to walk in these right out of the box. I "broke them in" in the house for a few hours two consecutive days before my trip, but I really didn't need to do this. I walked all over Manhattan without any hot spots or issues.

Purchased my shoes after foot surgery and they feel Great!

Fits well and very comfortable. Good arch support.

Love the feel of a new running shoe. Great stability, comfortable and energizing for my runs. My 4th pair of 360s.

I have flat feet and need orthotics and this sneaker is so comfortable on my feet! I am going to get another pair

These fit so comfortably. They feel like a cloud yet are very stable.

Use for e eryday walking, and speed walking, also wear to 5he gym

Took them out for a 5k walk/run right out of the box...They're amazing! Perfect support, and stability in all ways! I have the beginning of a bunion, Morton's Neuroma, overpronation, and require a very wide toebox....these accommodate everything!
