FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
The New Balance 860v2 Trainers are more suited for lifestyle wear, casual activities, and light jogging due to their blend of style and comfort technologies. For serious, long-distance, or high-performance running, New Balance offers other models specifically designed with advanced running-specific features.
What do ABZORB® and N-ERGY® technologies do?
ABZORB® is a superior foam cushioning material that resists compression, providing exceptional shock absorption and cushioning. N-ERGY® is a specialized cushioning system designed to deliver advanced energy return and responsiveness, giving a springier feel with each step. Together, they enhance comfort and reduce impact.
How do I clean the reflective accents?
Clean reflective accents gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes, as these can scratch or damage the reflective material over time. Pat dry rather than rubbing vigorously.
Do these trainers run true to size?
New Balance generally designs its footwear to run true to size. However, foot shapes can vary. For the best fit, it's always recommended to measure your foot or try them on if possible. This specific model is a UK 10.5.
Can I wear these trainers in all weather conditions?
While the trainers are durable, their breathable mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. In wet weather, your feet may get damp. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to maintain the shoe's integrity.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to complement the breathable mesh, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking athletic socks. These types of socks help draw sweat away from your feet, keeping them drier and reducing the risk of blisters or discomfort.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. While trainers may need a short break-in period, they should not be painful. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider checking your foot measurements against a New Balance size guide.
My trainers are starting to smell bad.
Remove the insoles to air them out after each use. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors, or use a shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable. Avoid storing them in damp, enclosed spaces.
The mesh upper looks dirty or stained.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth dipped in a solution of mild soap and cold water. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh and synthetic materials can be used. Always air dry completely.
The outsole traction seems to be decreasing.
Check the outsole for embedded debris like small stones or mud, and clean them thoroughly. Over time, all outsoles will wear down. If wear is significant and affecting grip, it may indicate it's time to consider a new pair of trainers.

Getting started with your New Balance 860v2 Trainers is straightforward, and proper care will ensure their longevity and comfort.

Care Instructions
To keep your 860v2 Trainers in excellent condition, follow these simple care tips:
- Cleaning the Uppers: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the mesh, synthetic, and leather overlays. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing vigorously.
- Cleaning the Outsoles: Use a stiffer brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge your trainers in water, as this can compromise their structural integrity and cushioning technologies.
