So good I bought another pair
This is the second pair of these exact shoes I have purchased. They are probably the most comfortable pair of running shoes I have ever purchased. They’re light and don’t feel clunky like some stability shoes do. I’ve worn asics, Brooks, and saucony. I highly recommend.

Uncomfortable
I bought these shoes hoping they would help with my high arches and inward pronation, but they are incredibly uncomfortable to walk in.

Why change from great shoe?
I do not remember what version of the 860 was my first but it has been nearly 20 years. I don't have knee problems, hip problems, foot problems or ankle problems ... why change? Staying healthy is more important then a few ounces or a more cushioned ride.

Great product. I love the comfort of the shoe. It does justice for my calf muscles and shins.

Too stiff. Not much cushioning.
I returned them. I prefer Ascis or Brooks, but though I would give New Balance a try.
