Features
Built for runners and walkers who want reliable support without sacrificing comfort, the New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v15 delivers the best of both in one dependable package.
New Balance's innovative Stability Plane technology uses a wider base and elevated sidewalls to guide your stride and keep you stable, while a rocker profile keeps your momentum moving forward naturally for smooth, effortless transitions during your daily steps
Details:
- Upper: A breathable engineered mesh upper works with the wider base and sidewall design to create a secure, stable lockdown that keeps your foot comfortably in place — whether you're running your favorite route or spending a long day on your feet.
- Midsole: Dual-layered Fresh Foam X delivers a softer top layer for plush, comfortable landings and a firmer bottom layer for reliable support and stability. Stability Plane technology provides the guidance your stride needs without compromising the cushioned underfoot experience.
- Outsole: A durable outsole with a rocker geometry delivers smooth heel-to-toe transitions and reliable traction for daily training miles and long days on your feet.

Painful!
When I tried these on in the store, I thought that they fit. They did feel more heavy and clunky than what I am used to and I figured this is because of how much cushion they have. I bought them to wear at work, where I stand all day. At the end of the day my feet HURT and I have been getting hot spots on my heels. They are alright for short walks or maybe for a runner but NOT what I had hoped for. I regret that I did not realize this soon enough to return them.

Hands down best running shoe
I bought the v14 a few years back and found the comfort to be top tier- better than ASICS and Brooks IMO. I recently bought the v15 and to my surprise they are even better! My running game has improved significantly. The comfort of the shoe has enhanced, I’m able to run longer without any ailments or aches afterwards. I bought a second pair last week and plan to buy a 3rd to build out my rotation. ❤️

Best walking shoe ever
I have worn these shoes for years. I have tried the 880's and 1080's, but I always come back to the 860's. The new v15's have more cushioning in the heal than the v14's. The 860's also have a bigger toe box than the 880's.

New Balance is my go to sneaker
A perfect fit every time! I wear custom inserts and they fit with no problem. This sneaker was recommended to me by my podiatrist because of the larger toe box.
