Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v14

Perfect fit but the tongue is secured on either side with a wide strap of elastic that began to fatigue the arch of my foot and cause numbing after wearing them around the house for a half hour or so. I wish I could keep them as they are very comfortable. If you enjoy wearing athletic socks that have the arch compression support, you might enjoy these shoes. I don't like compression on my feet. I've included a couple of photos that show the elastic band fixed to the tongue.

I like the fit and size. Plenty of room in the toe box. Had to add an orthotic because there's not any significant arch support

Bought this pair of shoes for my aunt who was suffering from ankle injury. She needed more supportive shoes. She typically wear size 7.5 but we ended up having to size up to 8. Not sure why, but she really likes both the look and the comfort and support of the shoes.

These shoes are just a shade small, but I can make it work.

Love these sneakers. I was reluctant to purchase because the style has changed but was pleasantly surprised

New balance changed this perfect fit to too large , wide and no arch support. Cutest style tho, but can't wear. Kills knees and toes.

The vamp/top of foot height is lower than my 1080-13’s. That is my only complaint. But also made them impossible for my McArches feet to wear.

As a severe overpronator, I’ve used NB 860 for many years. My favorite iteration was v10. The extent to which the shoe changes each year is frustrating. This year’s version is too bulky for me and the shoe seems wider than previously. Returned and will look for an older model.

There is a lump of too much fabric on the inside left tongue that would be painful. The fabric is curled. Otherwise, it is perfect and I’m ordering another one.

The fit is great! Stability and comfort. I own three of the 860 and wanted black. I wish the black had more style instead of dark logo would be cool to have white pops…

Nice shoe, but the color really desired came the same day.

The fit is comfortable. I like the style. I think this particular model as more cushion which complements the stability. Overall, I prefer this model over the X860V13.

I LOVE these shoes! Comfort immediately. My only wish is that there was a bit more arch support. That's because my feet need that...for a normal foot they would be just right.

It took me 5 try's to find the right pair, and this is it! I use them mostly for treadmill running and they are perfect for me. Love them and will purchase again!!

I need more stability to avoid knee problems. New Balance is the brand that usually fits but they have no whites in my size.

Bought a half size larger per Zappo's recommendation. Length was ok, but toe box is definitely narrower than 2E. Not sure what has happened to New Balance shoes, but they're no longer worth the cost. Sadly, they were the only brand that fit my weird foot for decades, but no more.

These shoes were a bit too long. I returned them. They have good arch support and good cushioning as well as nice stability when walking.

I walked around the house in them and I felt like I was going to fall backwards. They just felt strange. I usually love New Balance shoes. These just feel weird.

Very comfortable. Nice big toe box, which is good news for my bunions. Nice springy padding on the bottom. Walked comfortably all day in them.

Super comfortable, but it felt as though each step tipped me into pronation, so I took a video and confirmed that this is true. For someone who suffers from supination, this might be the cure!

Wonderful shoes - added own arch support.

The high heel hurts and is a change from my previous NB. Beautiful color…too bad will not work.

This model shoe does not allow use of additional arch supports

This model did not allow the use of additional arch supports

I really liked the look of the shoe and it was fine for stability in terms of my pronation. I have neuropathy, especially under my toes and this was the only reason I did not keep them. I am not really sure why they were uncomfortable under my forefoot, but it was enough for me not to keep them. I think it would be an excellent shoe for many other people without that particular problem.
