NEW BALANCE 860
The current 860 v14 also employs a Stability Plane rather than a traditional, rigid post, giving a smoother, less intrusive feel while still providing the support overpronating runners need. An 8 mm heel‑to‑toe drop, combined with flex grooves and a subtle rocker, promotes easy transitions from landing to toe‑off, so the shoe feels stable but not blocky underfoot.
The upper uses a structured mesh with targeted reinforcement around the midfoot and heel, delivering a secure wrap that holds you in place without excessive pressure across the forefoot. Durable rubber coverage gives a reliable grip on wet and dry pavement, and the shoe is offered in multiple widths to fine‑tune fit for narrow, standard, and wide feet. As a result, Fresh Foam X 860 frequently becomes the everyday stability trainer in a runner’s line‑up, handling everything from easy weekday miles and long Sunday runs to moderate tempo work where support and cushioning still matter.
