New Balance Women's W860b 11 Sneaker

Product Information

An Engineered Mesh upper offers a smooth, secure fit, but it took me around 100 miles of break-in for it to flex to fit the contours of my forefoot enough to be comfortable for runs over 8 miles. Kristin holds a bachelor's degree in exercise science and an MA in theology; running is where her dual passions for truth and fitness merge. I felt the balls of my feet edging over the side of the soles and the toe part is too pointy as well.

New without box: A brand-new, unused and unworn item that is not in its original retail packaging or . While a viral TikTok moment could make a shoe cool, there are more substantive aspects of a shoe that can tip a runner off to where it’s at in the current climate. Though it took me a while to break-in, I like running in the New Balance 860, but not for every day. This did not influence the outcome of this review, written after running more than 50 miles in them. This will concentrate the force of the impact toward the outside area of the forefoot leading to some runners that supinate experiencing foot pain or even stress fractures as a result.Use this shoe for recovery and mid to long distance runs if you value a solid underfoot experience that has the “edge rubbed off” by a cover of Fresh Foam, but note that it is best suited for med-heavier runners.

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. Without giving up the excellent stability and support that characterizes this model, the new update tries to improve the experience of the neutral runner and/or with pronation tendency. It minimizes heel slippage, serves as a pull tab to help you get your shoes on quickly and makes sure that you don’t experience any rubbing or hot spots on your Achilles. It’s very important to know your running gait so that we can advise and fit the correct shoes according to your own individual requirements. It was more than needed, and because of that, I actually enjoyed running in the 860v11 on pavement, track, and gravel.Last year’s v10 had some promising new aspects but it was a bit lagging, like a download over a dial-up connection. After this, it compresses and then more shock is being put through the body and this can lead to muscle fatigue and injuries. My wear-pattern shows evidence of a heel strike (much to my chagrin), an even role through the midfoot, and pretty even wear under the forefoot—even a slightly lateral toe-off. The 860’s upper shows advanced technology: thinner and simpler yet offering a similarly supported fit in the midfoot. 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.
