- Is the 860v15 good for overpronation?
- Yes. It is New Balance's stability trainer, with midsole geometry that helps guide the foot and limit inward roll. It suits mild to moderate overpronation better than severe cases that need motion control.
- How does it compare with the 860v14?
- The v15 keeps the same stability role and Fresh Foam X cushioning, with a refined mesh upper and padded collar. Runners upgrading from the v14 get a similar ride with a slightly more comfortable fit.
- Can I use it for walking and standing all day?
- Yes. The soft midsole and structured support work well for long walks and standing shifts. It is heavier than a casual sneaker, so it feels more like a training shoe than a lifestyle shoe.
- Does it fit true to size?
- The 860 line generally fits true to size for most runners. Those between sizes or with wide feet often go up a half size, and the padded collar keeps the heel locked in.
- Is it good for speed work or racing?
- No. It is a daily trainer built for support and comfort, not a lightweight racer. For tempo runs or race day, a lighter neutral shoe is a better match.
- What is the upper made of?
- An engineered mesh with a padded collar and tongue. It is breathable and lightweight while holding the midfoot securely.
