FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The 860v2 is designed for general training and athletic performance. For marathon running, dedicated marathon shoes with specialized cushioning and support might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should not feel constricting.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the mesh and glued overlays, and compromise the shoe's structure.
What is the main difference between the 860v2 and other New Balance models?
The 860v2 is characterized by its 90s-inspired aesthetic, specific N-ergy midsole technology, and the combination of mesh with metallic silver overlays, distinguishing it from other series within the New Balance range.
How do I clean the silver overlays?
Gently wipe the silver overlays with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a very small amount of mild soap on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the official New Balance website for specific warranty details.
Are these trainers good for pronation control?
The 860 series generally offers support, but specific pronation control features can vary. For detailed information on stability features, consult product specifications or a footwear specialist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them, or consider insoles for minor adjustments. If persistent, consult the retailer for exchange options.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The N-ergy midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacement if performance is significantly impacted after prolonged wear.
