FAQs
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
The New Balance 860v2 is ideal for stability running, daily training, walking, and as a comfortable, stylish option for everyday casual wear.
What is ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning?
ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact. N-ergy is a cushioning technology that provides advanced shock absorption and responsiveness, delivering a springy feel in the heel area.
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet or overpronation?
Yes, the 860v2 was originally designed as a stability shoe, making it well-suited for individuals who require extra support for overpronation or have flatter arches, thanks to its integrated cushioning and stability features.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend trying on the shoes to ensure the best fit. Your UK size is 10.5. Generally, running shoes should have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Info needed: Specific sizing recommendations if they run large/small.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the mesh upper offers breathability, it is not waterproof. For light rain, they should be fine, but for heavy wet conditions, your feet may get wet. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy moisture to preserve the shoe's materials.
What are the main materials used in the shoe's construction?
The New Balance 860v2 features breathable mesh uppers for ventilation, sleek leather overlays for added structure and style, an ABZORB midsole, N-ergy heel cushioning, an SBS heel insert, and a durable rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the optimal fit for your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Foot discomfort during or after activity.
While the 860v2 offers significant cushioning and stability, ensure the shoe is the correct size and width for your foot. Consider if your activity level or foot mechanics require different support. Break-in period may vary for individuals.
Squeaking sounds while walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped within the shoe or between the insole and midsole. Remove the insoles to air dry thoroughly. If the issue persists, check for any loose components in the outsole.
Upper material appears dirty or stained.
Clean according to the care instructions: gently scrub mesh and leather overlays with mild soap and water, then wipe clean and air dry. For deep stains, a specialized shoe cleaner may be needed.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
Over time, cushioning materials compress. While the 860v2 is durable, all running shoes have a lifespan (typically 300-500 miles for runners). If you're using them heavily, it might be time for a replacement.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 860v2 shoes:
- Cleaning the Uppers (Mesh & Leather):
- Mix a small amount of mild detergent (like dish soap) with cool water.
- Using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or cloth, gently scrub the mesh and leather areas to remove dirt. Avoid saturating the material.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- For stubborn spots on leather, a specialized leather cleaner designed for athletic shoes can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with mild soap and water to scrub away dirt and grime from the rubber and foam components.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
