New Balance Women's W860b 11 Sneaker

Product Information

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. A layer of Fresh Foam softens the impact just slightly, similar to the XPOP cushion in the Wave Horizon, with an overall firm ride due to the base layer midfoot posting in the midsole. New Balance products are the perfect blend of function and fashion, giving you the performance technology you need and the style you want. If there isn’t enough room for the foot to breathe then it will cause friction against the inside of the shoe and eventually lead to blisters.

This design ensures that the heel of the shoe wraps comfortably around the heel of your foot without having to employ a lot of extra material. 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. After this, it compresses and then more shock is being put through the body and this can lead to muscle fatigue and injuries.Give it a try if you value a solid and supported feel underfoot, and be sure to go up a half size unless you have a super narrow foot. This latest interaction in New Balance 's 860 series incorporates the company's flagship cushioning system, Fresh Foam, for a lighter footprint and impeccable shock absorption on the run.

The New Balance 860v11 Women’s Running Shoe uses New Balance’s Fresh Foam technology, that has been designed to promote sustained cushioning and support with a lightweight feel. Further the eyelets have torn so the shoes can no longer be laced, again something that has never happened in a shoe that I have owned. 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.

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. 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.
