FAQs
Are the New Balance 860v2 suitable for daily training?
Yes, the New Balance 860v2 is designed for versatility and durability, making it an excellent choice for daily training runs and regular use.
How should I clean my New Balance 860v2 shoes?
It's best to hand wash your shoes. Use a mild soap or shoe cleaner with cool water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, and always air dry them naturally away from direct heat.
What kind of support do these shoes offer?
The 860v2 provides general support and cushioning, designed to offer stability and comfort for a wide range of runners and activities, from everyday wear to long-distance runs.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. We recommend ordering your usual running shoe size. If you are unsure, it's always best to measure your foot and refer to a New Balance size chart.
Can I use these shoes for sports other than running?
While primarily designed for running, their versatile design, comfort, and support make them suitable for general walking, gym workouts, and various casual athletic activities. However, for specialized sports, dedicated footwear may offer better performance and protection.
How long do running shoes typically last?
The lifespan of running shoes like the 860v2 depends on factors such as mileage, running style, and care. Generally, running shoes last between 300 to 500 miles (approximately 3-6 months for regular runners) before the cushioning and support begin to degrade.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your lacing. Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot and toe box. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks, as overly thick socks can contribute to tightness. If discomfort persists, verify that the shoe size and width are correct for your feet.
Squeaking noise when walking or running.
First, check for any small debris (pebbles, sand) lodged in the outsole treads. If the squeak is coming from inside, it might be the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath it to reduce friction.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
After each use, remove the insoles and allow your shoes and insoles to air dry thoroughly. Avoid leaving them in a gym bag. You can use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable.
Outsole wear appears uneven.
Uneven wear can indicate a natural gait pattern. However, if wear is excessively uneven and causing discomfort, consult with a running specialist or podiatrist. They can assess your gait and recommend solutions, which might include specific insoles or strength exercises.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your New Balance 860v2 shoes come ready to wear. Simply unlace them sufficiently, insert your foot, and then lace them up to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the tongue is centered and there are no wrinkles in your socks to prevent friction. A common lacing technique involves using all eyelets for maximum security, or skipping the top eyelet for a slightly looser feel around the ankle if preferred.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 860v2s:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, gently brush off loose debris with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap or shoe cleaner mixed with cool water. Dampen a cloth or sponge and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. *Never* put them in a dryer or near a direct heat source, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and let them air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture after use.
