New Balance Women's W860b 11 Sneaker

Product Information

It wouldn’t be my first choice for workouts or racing, but if you’re looking for one well-rounded stability shoe, here you go!

The lengthwise grooves help to provide you with the right amount of support on the medial side of the feet. I have two pair of Fresh Foam 860 and the back of the shoes (plastic insert) broke I have seen others who have had same problem. It’s the most important part of this whole review because it singlehandedly elevates a stability shoe that was pretty “meh” to a legit option.The ride feels like you’re driving down the road in an armored vehicle, securely strapped in and free to enjoy the scenery. New Balance is committed to aiding athletes in their pursuit of excellence, whether that means helping professional athletes set records and win medals, or propelling everyday athletes to achieve a new PB, run their first 5K or just to live a more healthy and active lifestyle.

I wonder if some of the support that I feel is actually due to the firm outer layer of this midsole acting something like the “bumpers” in the latest Brooks stability shoes with their Guiderails system.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.The Fresh Foam 860 has a 1 centimeter layer of soft Fresh Foam atop a dual-density midsole layer which includes a very firm medial post along with another material that feels halfway in between the give of the Fresh Foam and the firm posting. Though it took me a while to break-in, I like running in the New Balance 860, but not for every day. The Fresh Foam midsole replaces the TruFuse midsole found in the previous model, the New Balance 860v10. As a mid-heavy weight shoe, the ride is too bulky for speedwork, but the support it offers is superb.
