FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While inspired by running shoe design, the 860v2 series is primarily geared towards lifestyle and casual wear. For marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes with advanced support and cushioning technology are recommended.
How do I find the right size if I'm not a UK 10.5?
The New Balance 860v2 series is available in various sizes. Please check the product listing for available UK sizes or consult New Balance's official size guide for conversions.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe. Hand washing or spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the 860v2 and modern New Balance running shoes?
The 860v2 was designed with a focus on lightweight cushioning for its time. Modern New Balance running shoes often incorporate more advanced, responsive foam technologies, enhanced stability features, and specialized designs for specific running disciplines.
How breathable are the materials?
The upper is constructed with a combination of materials, including mesh, which is designed to provide good breathability for everyday comfort.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The 860v2 series was known for its balanced cushioning. While it provides a comfortable foundation, the level of arch support may vary from dedicated stability shoes. For significant arch support needs, consider adding custom or supportive insoles.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness upon first wear
New shoes can feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The materials are designed to soften with use.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoe fits correctly, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning or support tailored to your needs.
Materials appearing worn quickly
These trainers are designed for lifestyle use. Avoid exposing them to abrasive surfaces or excessive friction. Follow care instructions to maintain appearance.
Slight color transfer from silver accents
In rare cases, some color transfer might occur on light-colored socks. This is usually minimal and can be mitigated by ensuring the shoes are fully dry before wear and by using sock colors that are less prone to showing transfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: The New Balance 860v2 trainers are designed for male adult foot sizes (this specific model is UK 10.5). They are compatible with most casual and athletic apparel.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the synthetic and mesh materials. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. It is recommended to keep them in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and potential damage.
