FAQs
Are the New Balance 860v2 suitable for severe overpronation?
The 860v2 offers a blend of support and cushioning, which can assist with mild to moderate pronation. For severe overpronation, it is recommended to consult with a footwear specialist who can assess your gait and recommend shoes specifically designed for high-level stability control.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
As a general guideline, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles or every 6-12 months, whichever comes first. This can vary based on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Monitor the wear of the outsole and midsole cushioning.
Can I wash my New Balance 860v2 in a washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash athletic shoes, as it can damage materials, glues, and the overall structure of the shoe. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water, as outlined in the care instructions, is the preferred method.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
The 860v2 is best suited for daily running, gym workouts, walking, and general athletic and casual wear. Its versatile design provides a good balance of support and comfort for these activities.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
While New Balance generally aims for consistent sizing, there can be slight variations between different models and series. It's always best to try on the shoes or refer to a size guide if available, especially if you are unsure.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Re-tie laces to adjust pressure points. Check your socks for seams or bunching. Allow for a break-in period for new shoes.
Squeaking sound while walking
Sometimes squeaking can come from a loose insole; try removing it and reinserting it. If the issue persists, ensure the outer sole is clean and dry, as moisture can sometimes cause this.
Shoe odor development
Remove insoles and air them out regularly. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are completely dry after use before storing.
Laces frequently come undone
Try a double knot, or research different lacing techniques like the 'surgeon's knot' for better security. Ensure laces are not excessively worn or stretched.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 860v2 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For stubborn marks, use a mild soap or shoe cleaner diluted in cool water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight.
