New Balance Women's W860b 11 Sneaker

Product Information

Most people that don’t need a stability show aren’t going to run in it and will be the the 880/1080/Ride/Rincon/etc. If you have had a good experience with your old shoes and have stayed injury free then you might, understandably, be reluctant to change brand or model.

The medial post has been designed to offer a more natural feeling but still offer the support required. for Horizon and size 10 in 860 (slight pinch for me with snug laces, before an extended break-in), and the heel fits tighter in Horizon, given that I can get by wearing a half size smaller in Horizon than 860. The new Ultra Heel design reduces Achilles irritation and allows for a place to grip when slipping the shoe on.The following size chart is a guide to New Balance clothing and shoe sizes with a comparison to European and US sizes. Reflective “N’s” on the inner and outer sides of the shoe provide night visibility, as well as a small “Fresh Foam” logo on the lateral heel. 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. The stability features help ensure that I can tackle daily miles without worrying about unnecessary shifting and the flared heel collar alleviates rubbing from frequent training.

In a track workout, I didn’t feel that the posting affected speed until I was going under 6:00 per mile pace.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. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. Did a sole to sole comparison and you can easily see that the sole of the v11 is a couple of mm (1/8″-1/4″) less wide than the sole of the v10. It improves upon the 860v10 significantly (more on that later) and will likely cement itself as a favorite daily trainer for runners.

It is a silhouette aimed at both neutral runners and those who tend to pronate as the miles go by, as it incorporates reinforcements in the midfoot area for enhanced support and stability. Last year’s model was a little clunky because of both the posting and the lackluster TrueFuse midsole. The medial post is firmer for added stability and the heel cup makes sure heel wobbling doesn’t occur.

After this, it compresses and then more shock is being put through the body and this can lead to muscle fatigue and injuries. 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. If you’re a neutral runner (I mostly am), this is a great shoe for those days that you want a bit more stability or if you’re recovering from an ankle-related setback. The Mizuno Wave Horizon is another similar shoe in terms of feel underfoot, though the 860 has more arch support.
