New Balance Women's W860b 11 Sneaker

Product Information

The softer layer of Fresh Foam X on the top of a Fresh Foam midsole makes this so much better for a few reasons: 1) softer feel – but not necessarily plush, 2) much smoother ride, and because of those two things– 3) more responsive. A patch Fresh Foam shows in the center of the deep heel groove, which reveals in inner core of this softer foam inside the bottom layer of this midsole, to add cushion. 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. The lengthwise grooves help to provide you with the right amount of support on the medial side of the feet. Last year’s model was a little clunky because of both the posting and the lackluster TrueFuse midsole.

Flatter or smoother tread is one of the clearest indicators that it might be time for a replacement. In a track workout, I didn’t feel that the posting affected speed until I was going under 6:00 per mile pace.She teaches college classes and together with her husband raises four children, corn, and soybeans in rural Iowa. The medial post is firmer for added stability and the heel cup makes sure heel wobbling doesn’t occur. New Balance continues to update their popular everyday stability trainer, this year with a revamped heel design and a softer underfoot experience, while maintaining a dense medial post to hold the midfoot firm. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

TAYLOR: If you don’t mind a stability shoe with strong medial posting, the New Balance 860v11 could be what you’re looking for. 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.Running long for over twenty years, Kristin has found peace and solidarity with like-minded 'soles,' cheetahs of all speeds and walks of life.

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.The fact of implementing New Balance 's star cushioning system is already a clear indicator of the leap in quality that can be seen in this model for long distances. In addition, this latest update features a design line very similar to successful New Balance sagas. If the upper has split near the toe box you might want to consider going up a half a size or in some cases, change the width of your shoes. Be sure to look at the latest version of your current shoe as most popular styles tend to be slightly tweaked rather than completely redesigned when updated. Before that I alternated between having the laces too loose—which meant heel slippage—or tighter laces resulting in slight discomfort along the ball of my foot that grew as the miles or hours wore on.
