New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X 860 V12 Running Shoe

I am hard on shoes and it is hard to find comfortable shoes for my very flat feet...we are talking suction-cup flat! These are VERY comfortable for me as a 6'2" 345 pound dude. I tend to wear thicker socks...would also work with thinner socks.

I have a pair of Asics that are a little larger (and work well),but ordered these in the size I'm actually measured to wear and the ALSO work well. Took a while to find wide shoes in anything but black, and these blue ones were my ideal color. They felt a bit hard at first, so I decided to wear them golfing and walked more than 6 miles. By the end of the round, they were broken in and when I put them on the next day they were perfect for my flat feet (especially my over-pronating extremely flat left food). I'd buy them again in a heartbeat!

Im a 5’11”, 193lbs male. I been using stability running shoes for at least 15 years. I never tried NB. I bought this one to give a chance to New Balance. I give a 10 out of 10. Many reasons to give a 10. First of all, comfortable shoes with great cushioning. Other reasons: durability sole, and stability for my pronation issues.

Bought these to add a stability shoe to my rotation since I have issues with my knee due to a very old surgery.BLUF: Good shoe but not working for mePros:- Well constructed, should last many miles (500+) with the rubber and thick cushioning- Comfortable and well padded around the collar.- Fits as expected. I got the wide, which is a primary reason why I buy New Balance. Gave me plenty of room in my toe box.- I was able to keep my normal pace with these even though they are a lot heavier than my older shoesCons:- Heavier than I am used to at this point. I have run in the Rebel v2 for the past year, so this was 50%+ heavier than that... of course weight is relative to what you are used to.- Cushioning felt stiff. Again, I am used to a very soft landing with the Rebels, so between the harder Freshfoam and thicker rubber, I just wasn't looking forward to running in them.Conclusion: I will try them out again when it gets warm to see if that softens and breaks in the cushion, but right now, I just struggle to run in them. At this point, I will go with the new Rebel v3 even if it isn't as stable as this shoe mainly because I am so used to the soft cushion of Fuelcell foam now.

I fell in love with New Balance because they were one of the few shoes that supported American workers and had some style. I am very disappointed that New Balance is shifting away from American workers in favor of the cheaper labor, while prices continue to rise anyway. I rather pay more money to support the American worker where the quality will be better and they can support their families. If New Balance does not shift back to supporting the worker, they will lose me as a customer. And New Balance is the only shoe I buy. With that being said, I bought Hoka shoes that I heard were really great for standing for long periods of time. I work in surgery so we are on our feet the whole time. I just had foot surgery and have had major spine surgery a few times. I was looking for comfort no matter the cost. Hoka let me done. So, I decided to go back to New Balance. As soon as I saw this shoe and the color, not to mention being about 40% off, I was sold. The shoe came earlier then expected. I had comfort right away. Had several compliments from my co-workers. I ended up getting orthotics because of my surgery and achy feet. The orthotics went right in the shoe with no problem. I just had to take out the fresh foam insert. Other then being made in another country so they can make boat loads of profit instead of hiring and supporting American workers, I am pleased with the comfort and looks of the shoe. The Hokas which were twice as expensive do not live up to the comfort this shoe provides. I will let you know how long the durability last.

Ah I like these they feel amazing on my feet ..to bad I might have to send them back ..I went to the new balance store stood on the foot machine they have it seem like I underpronate...so they told me these were not good for me they told me to get the 840 neutral...the 8:40 is a wide enough shoe it's very stable built good so I put in some softer orthotics and I'll see how they feel...I get hip pain and sciatica and everything I'm researching says I should get a eight drop shoes but the 840s are 12 drop Like My 990 v4 ..I love how my feet feel when I take of my 990v4...the girl at the store said everything starts from the feet up ..so if I'm wearing a shoe for overpronation it will do more damage than help I had that issue with my last pair of Saucony redeem ..way to uncomfortable..I gave them away after awhile..I got the Hoka arahi and it's like wearing a glove on my feet ...I paid $99 for them I'm using them for just getting around...who knew buy sneakers could be so complicated... But when u had the kind of pain I had with si join pain and sciatica trust u wants what's best ..

I am a plus size woman with wide feet. I needed sneakers that were comfortable and supportive for walking. These are great, I was having really bad foot pains with my other sneakers as I had been sedentary and getting back into daily walks was had on my feet. These have practically eliminated the pain, I started out with 15min walks and now can go up to an hour without foot pain. I bought a second pair in black so I can wear to work. I highly recommend these to women with wide feet that need some extra cushioning. So happy I found these.

I'm very satisfied

These sneakers took a while longer to deliver but it was worth the wait. Fit perfectly, light, and very attractive.

Fast, comfortable and very relayable.

Gute Schuhe aber nicht so gut wie erwartet für die 130 Euro. Schade. Mein Fuß hat noch Schmerzen.

GREAT LOOKING TRAINERS
