New Balance Women's W860b 11 Sneaker

Product Information

In a track workout, I didn’t feel that the posting affected speed until I was going under 6:00 per mile pace. I’d like to see some more weight cut next year, but this is easily a top stability option that comes in wide.

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. New Balance is committed to aiding athletes in their pursuit of excellence, whether that means helping professional athletes set records and win medals, or propelling everyday athletes to achieve a new PB, run their first 5K or just to live a more healthy and active lifestyle. The tongue is more traditional compared to other New Balance options like the Propel V2, FuelCell TC, or even the 890v8. The engineered upper has a sleek and breathable design that promotes a more secure fit while inside the shoe the Ortholite® Premium insole offers arch support.Last year’s model was a little clunky because of both the posting and the lackluster TrueFuse midsole. It doesn’t help that the 10mm drop adds some unnecessary weight to the heel, causing your foot to heel-strike first. This really sounds like NB made a disastrous modification to their materials after the shoe I ran in. Since my foot triangles out to be slightly wider at the ball of my foot, with toes that taper back in. 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.

In addition, for a more accentuated fit feel, New Balance 's product designers have opted for a technical upper. 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. Fresh Foam X is a collection of shoes that utilize a midsole compound that’s a derivation of Fresh Foam. 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.Step onto a piece of heavy duty paper, card or even a bathroom tile and look at the footprint you leave behind.
