Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v14

I liked these shoes a lot. The look, the fit and the size were perfect for me. I normally wear 9.5-10 and I ordered 10.5 in these. I have a narrow foot and I ordered a narrow width. Both length and width were spot on. They are good looking, lightweight and very comfortable. I would have kept the shoes if it was not for the fact that my right rolled outwards with every step. The left foot was fine. I am inclined to think that it must be my feet, but I never experienced this issue before. For this reason I am rating them a 4. They are perfect otherwise.

Eventhough I had wide, the N design rubbed on my foot. The shoe material is flexible, but the outline of the N design is not.

Too Wide and big for me and my usual size in athletic shoes

Due to having a large bunion on left foot, I ordered a Wide width vs regular. Interestingly, I developed a blister on my small toe while walking. Perhaps my foot is moving around with the extra room but it feels comfortable and not as tight as the Regular B Width. I'm going to give it a try for a few months and see how it develops.

I ordered these in 9 extra wide (2E), because regular wide width was sold out. I'm not sure the extra wide even feels like a regular wide, but at least they fit. I have not ordered New Balance in a few yrs, because like most athletic shoe brands, the choices in wide widths are slim to none, especially if you need a stability shoe. This brand used to be my go to brand and work for me, but it seems the sizing is off in width and the toe area didn't seem as roomy either. If you need a wide width, you may want to order extra wide to even get close to a true wide width.
