New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v12 First Impressions

A two-layer Fresh Foam midsole was added to the 860 for the first time last year and continues in this latest update. Shoe designers used a slightly softer foam compound on the bottom layer of this version, creating a more flexible ride. Fleet Feet reviewers appreciated the spacious toe box and snug midfoot. They also enjoyed the soft and simplistic style of the upper. The New Balance 860 v12 is a classic stability shoe that gives runners the support and comfort to meet their daily needs without all the extra frills. The combination of FreshFoamX and FuelCell in the midsole is not the most exciting in terms of responsiveness, but it delivers a smooth ride with durability that runners can trust for miles. The 860 is a great shoe to grab for easy runs when I want to keep my legs fresh for the harder efforts later in the week, and it is truly a shoe that I can trust to get the job done.
