FAQs
What is the primary use of the New Balance 860v2?
The New Balance 860v2 is primarily a lifestyle and casual shoe, offering classic style and comfort for everyday wear, walking, and light recreational activities.
Is this shoe suitable for serious running?
While the original 860 series was a performance running shoe, the 'v2' model is now often embraced for its classic aesthetic and comfort rather than cutting-edge running technology. For serious running, newer New Balance performance models might offer more specialized features.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is best to try on the shoes to ensure a proper fit. New Balance shoes generally fit true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. Always wear the type of socks you intend to use with the shoes during fitting.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
Are replacement laces available?
Yes, standard athletic shoe laces of the appropriate length can be purchased separately if your original laces become worn or damaged.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort, wear athletic or casual socks that wick moisture. Avoid thick, non-breathable socks that can cause discomfort or sweating.
Are there other colours or sizes available?
This specific guide is for the Grey, UK 7.5 variant. However, the New Balance 860v2 series may be available in other colour families (e.g., Purple, Silver, Multicolor) and various UK sizes (e.g., 5.5, 9.5, 11) depending on availability from retailers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is still off, check if the size is correct for your foot length and width. New Balance sizing can vary slightly between models.
Unusual wear patterns on the sole.
This could indicate an issue with your gait or pronation. While the 860 series often has some stability features, excessive wear might suggest you need a more specialized shoe or orthotics. Consult a running specialist if it's a persistent problem.
Shoes develop an odor.
Ensure shoes are fully aired out and dry between uses. Remove insoles occasionally to air them separately. A sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help absorb odors. Avoid wearing the same pair every day.
Discoloration or fading.
Exposure to harsh sunlight or certain chemicals can cause fading. Clean gently as instructed. If stored, keep them away from direct sunlight.

Using your New Balance 860v2 is straightforward. Simply put on the shoes, ensure a comfortable fit, and tie the laces securely. It's always recommended to try on shoes with the type of socks you typically wear to ensure the best fit. If trying on for the first time, walk around to check for any pressure points or discomfort.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 860v2:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Laces: If laces become dirty or worn, they can be replaced with new ones to refresh the shoe's look.
