Women's | New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v14: All Reviews

This is my second pair of the same shoe; I loved the first pair so much. The quality is great and comfort is superb. I will buy them again and again.

Love these! I had been wearing my daughter’s very worn pair of 13’s and finally ordered a new pair of 14’s for myself. They fit me great- don’t bother my bunion and feel very supportive. I’m not a runner- use these for daily walking.

Love how cushy these feels while still maintaining support. These are my go to shoes for easy runs with my dog.

The changes made on this version make it so much more comfortable across the top, in the waist, and in the toe box and cap. A previous version squeezed my arch and top of my foot, even with the laces as big as they could go, and my foot is as narrow as it gets. The whole shoe is more accommodating now while still being supportive, and I can wear thicker socks if I choose, but I don't have to. Love it.

I have several pairs of 860 shoes, different versions, and I find the fit consistent. This is helpful when purchasing shoes online. I’m pleased with the shoe fit and color. I do wish the laces were a bit longer, but they’re okay for now. Shipping only took a week, but FedEx bounced the shoes around in PA for about four days, same place twice, before heading to Indiana and finally to Kentucky where I live. Obviously not controlled by Fleet feet, but the company should be aware of it.

These are so comfortable. The cushioning is fantastic and the shoe is still stable.

This is my second pair of the Fresh Foam X860v14 shoes. They provide the structure and support I need to correct my stance and support my arches, along with a soft enough footbed to provide all-day comfort. And I cannot say enough about the generous toe box, which allows my toes to spread out fully without being at all compressed together. Perfect for me, and that's why I bought the second pair while they were still available. My only negative comment is about any New Balance shoes I have tried...the laces they provide are just barely long enough for me to tie a medium size bow, with no chance of double tying...so my shoes come undone on most walks at least twice. (Had to buy my own longer lace replacements.)

I was fitted in our local store and this brand and style were recommended for me. I was in love instantly! these are sooooo comfortable to live in…. For exercise, for work, all the things. I wish I could buy them in every color, they are THAT good!

I purchased a pair of New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v14 walking shoes at Fleet Feet in Sacramento, California, one year ago, and I came back to order another pair a week or so ago because these shoes are singularly THE BEST, MOST COMFORTABLE shoes I have ever worn in my life, and I'm a senior citizen! I appreciate Fleet Feet helping me find these one-of-a-kind shoes and helping me reorder them at the store a year later, so I could be sure I got exactly what I wanted, and I did. Overall, I am one very satisfied customer!

Perfect fit, very comfortable all day. The young man who fitted me was very knowledgeable, & I appreciate!

I love how stable these shoes are. This is my second pair as the first was recommended by an instore associate. It makes running easier as I build up my endurance.

Except for V10, I’ve loved NB 860’s

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable with support. I have wide feet and a high arch and a spur in my achilles tendon. The support and cushion of these shoes helps my achilles tendon to not hurt. I walk 3 to 4 miles several times a week and my feet don't get tired or hurt in these shoes. My feet are not even a thought when walking with these shoes. I love them so much and they are so comfortable that I have 3 pairs of them.

Very supportive, yet comfortable shoe!

It felt like walking on marbles

Ordered my second pair at Fleet Feet, went home and ordered a 3rd pair great shoes, comfortable.

They are so comfortable. There was no breaking in period. I love them!

The shoe is an excellent fit and aligns my back well.

I’ve been wearing New Balance 860s for a while now, and they just keep getting better, great fit, great colors and they feel great on my feet.

This is my 3rd pair, need I say more??

I love them they are comfortable,I don’t run but I walk

I’ve worn this model through all the upgrades, starting in the early 1980s. Consistent support and comfort. I wish they had a dressy version!

Loved the New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v 14 - so glad that Fleetfeet offers these in width D (yes, my feet are wider than they were....guess it was due to the decades of running! )

Having issues with my feet these shoes give me the best support with my orthotics and comfort.

Perfect combo of support and comfort

I love these shoes! They help realign my knees and hips. Helps a great deal with my pain.

My absolute favorite shoes. I have multiple pairs that I rotate for walking, gym, etc.

I finally found an excellent fit. I ordered two pairs. When I ordered my shoes, most sizes were gone except for mine!! Now I hope they don’t change the design…

I've always had good luck with New Balance shoes. There is no breaking in time. I just put them on and started walking. Also. I ordered them at Fleet Feet on a Thursday and they arrived at my house on Saturday. Very fast.

I love my 2nd pair of New Balance Fresh Foam 860 V14. Cushioned and comfortable.

I love then !!!!

Comfortable for walking and exercise.

I’ve been wearing this version for several years. Perfect balance of stability and cushioning for me.

This is the only New Balance sneaker 860v14 I purchase, have been wearing for years since I had feet issues and this was recommended to me & so far I’m pleased with them ( but not every place sells them & Fleet Feet where I went (by Mayfair NC) helped me with this tremendously !!

I love the shoes but I feel like the arches are already diminishing.

I have purchased new balance quite a lot in the past. Decided to try again. I have bone cancer induced swelling. These shoes are very comfortable! Thank you for fast prompt service.

This is my second pair of the v14 version. I really liked the v13’s and was a little disappointed in the narrower toebox of the 14’s. They're still pretty comfortable and the best of the 3 brands I tried. I hope the v15 will fit more like the 13’s.

This is my third pair of this exact shoe. Excellent support for both my feet and ankles!

I’m going to test the recommendation of getting the wide width. Seems too wide, going to try a heavier sock. Otherwise, well made!

These shoes replaced my 3 year old NB of the same model. Excellent fit, good cushion. The Fleet Feet team in Bakery Square, Pittsburgh were very knowledgable.

Love the shoe and was fitted well in the McKinney store. All of my questions were discussed and answered. I just needed a different color. This is the best store, much better than the lying lady at the Frisco store (ie. they don’t make stability shoes anymore). Get more stock at this location.

I purchased these shoes for my daughter. She absolutely loves them! Comfortable and corrects her feet from falling inward.

What a great fitting shoe. Comfortable fir

I highly recommend New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v14 to anyone looking for stability running shoes. These shoes give you best of both worlds comfort and stability during runs/walks. Love that they come in a standard and wide fit. Highly recommend these to anyone looking for a new reliable stability running shoe! I would say they do run a half size small I’m usually a size 5 for these I had to go up to a 5.5 for a good fit. Definitely when you’re getting these make sure to go up by a half size so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of returning the small ones and recording the correct size!

Very good

I am not sure what New Balance did in this new version 14 but it is not at all comfortable and it is a half inch shorter than the previous version. I sent them back as they hurt my feet. I loved version 13 and wished it was still available

I love these shoes. I have been using this style for years, and they are really comfortable and hold up great to outdoor and treadmill use.

These shoes give extra support even with orthotics. They are very comfortable and I can wear them all day at work with no problems.

I’m not as happy with the 860’s version 14 as the prior versions. They seem more like Hoka’s in that they have a platform style. They are still pretty stable but nearly as stable as v13 and below. Hoping it’s a phase and they’ll go back to their original style instead of keeping up with current trends.

I have a pair of these which I love and wanted them in a different color.

Like the fit and appearance

I ordered 2 pair of shoes on line. I liked the other pair slightly better so I returned these. However, they were very comfortable and nicely made.

I like it very much

Fit beautifully from the start.

I bought the wide size even though when i first put them on they looked like boats. But they are dreamily comfortable for my medium to wide foot. I don’t even think they look boatlike anymore. Love them.

great fit for me

I love the fit, comfort, stability, and the fact that my orthotics fit and work well in these shoes. I have tried others, but the 860s are truly the only shoes that work for me.

they are perfect for me.
