New Balance Women's W860b 11 Sneaker

Product Information

The new Ultra Heel design reduces Achilles irritation and allows for a place to grip when slipping the shoe on. It took a break-in of almost 100 miles for the 860’s narrow-midfoot upper to feel comfortable for all-day wear and runs over 8 miles. I felt the balls of my feet edging over the side of the soles and the toe part is too pointy as well. VELO MANAGEMENT LTD, trading as Velo Runner, is regis tered in England and Wales under company number: 07125740.

Further the eyelets have torn so the shoes can no longer be laced, again something that has never happened in a shoe that I have owned. New Balance continues to update their popular everyday stability trainer, this year with a revamped heel design and a softer underfoot experience, while maintaining a dense medial post to hold the midfoot firm. The fact of implementing New Balance 's star cushioning system is already a clear indicator of the leap in quality that can be seen in this model for long distances. The softer layer of Fresh Foam X on the top of a Fresh Foam midsole makes this so much better for a few reasons: 1) softer feel – but not necessarily plush, 2) much smoother ride, and because of those two things– 3) more responsive. The 860’s upper shows advanced technology: thinner and simpler yet offering a similarly supported fit in the midfoot.

The outsole is a traditional-looking blown-rubber pattern with flex grooves running horizontally near the ball.

Some reviewers mentioned that it was slightly narrower than expected, but most feel the fit was just right. If you are running up to a half marathon we would advise going up a half a size to your normal shoe size. Give it a try if you value a solid and supported feel underfoot, and be sure to go up a half size unless you have a super narrow foot. That’s why we have updates, half updates, colorway updates, shoelace updates, special editions, etc. Built for the runner seeking stability, our Fresh Foam 860v11 running shoe for men seamlessly blends engineered cushioning and classic NB support.If you are running further than a half marathon or training for a marathon then it would be advisable to go up a whole size.

This eleventh interaction offers superior cushioning even on longer runs and permanent shock absorption while running. Granted v11 is a much smoother experience than the past models, I still feel the firmer foam post takes away from the overall flow of the shoe.
