Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v14

NB Fresh Foam are the only athletic shoes that I will purchase.

Nice shoe, just too small.

Perfect fit!

My son is on his 3rd pair of these since the beginning of summer. He has been running 30-35 miles per week and they have been great. They fit well and provide adequate cushioning without too much weight. My only criticism, which is huge, is the overly soft sole that wears too fast. I realize that he is putting lots of miles on these shoes but a one month life is ridiculous. The uppers are still immaculate.

I own the 860 v13.They ran narrow so I was able to wear them in a medium width.The updated 860 v14 runs wider.I ordered both a narrow and a medium width.Kept the narrow width.The support is great.Keeps my over pronation in check.The cushioning is also great.I’m not a runner but work on concrete floors all day.Liked them so much after wearing for an hour exchanging the medium width ones instead of my original plan to keep one pair out of the two I ordered.I bought the black ones in 14 B and just ordered the white in a 14 B.

This shoe had absolutely no shape.

As always with NB, the size 12 4E fit my very wide foot perfectly. The shoe was mostly airy, cool material was exactly what i needed for these southern 90+ degree days. Comfortable, white outer looks really sharp, cost of $130 was more than i wanted to spend but did it anyway. Love NB shoe styles because they consistently fit, are always as pictured and expected.

The 860 has been my go to shoe for years. I love the style updates to this version. The upper feels and fits great. Sadly that’s where the good things end. This has been a stability shoe, and a good one at that, until now. The outer heel and forefoot are so squishy, they make walking feel unstable. I can’t imagine training in these. The foam is not dense enough. V13 was an adjustment from the 12s as the 13s felt moderately squishy compared to previous versions. 13 is still stable enough and quite comfortable. 14 is for sure comfortable and the clean look of the white with sea salt looks fresh. Problem, and a big one this version feels anything but stable. If you are looking for stability, I would look elsewhere. If you like squishy and neutral shoes, these may be worth trying.
