FAQs
What type of activities are the New Balance 860v2 best suited for?
The New Balance 860v2 is ideal for daily running, walking, general gym workouts, and casual everyday wear due to its blend of performance cushioning and lifestyle aesthetics.
How should I clean my New Balance 860v2 shoes?
For most cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water to spot clean the mesh and leather. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
What are ABZORB® and N-ERGY® technologies?
ABZORB® is a New Balance cushioning material that provides excellent shock absorption. N-ERGY® is a cushioning system that works alongside ABZORB® to deliver advanced shock absorption and responsiveness, giving a springy, comfortable feel.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, New Balance shoes, including the 860v2, tend to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes vary. We recommend trying them on or consulting a size guide for the best fit.
Can I use these shoes for competitive running?
While the 860v2 offers performance features, it is primarily designed for daily training and recreational use. For competitive running, you might consider more specialized, lightweight racing flats.
What is the benefit of the mesh upper?
The breathable mesh upper significantly enhances ventilation, allowing air to circulate and keeping your feet cooler and more comfortable, especially during extended wear or physical activity.
Will the white color get dirty easily?
White footwear, by nature, can show dirt and stains more readily than darker colors. Regular cleaning and potentially using a protective spray can help maintain their pristine appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Wear them for short periods during the initial break-in phase to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
Poor traction on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole offers good grip, exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Check the outsole for wear; significant wear can reduce traction. Ensure the shoes are primarily used on appropriate surfaces.
Shoes are getting dirty quickly.
For light dirt, wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner and a soft brush for spot cleaning. Consider applying a protective spray designed for sneakers to help repel water and stains.
Foot odor developing.
Remove insoles after wear to allow air circulation. Use shoe deodorizers or a sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes. Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking material and are changed regularly.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Cushioning materials can compress over extensive use. This is normal wear and tear. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose. Consider rotating with other footwear if worn daily for intense activities.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 860v2:
- Spot Cleaning: For mesh uppers and leather overlays, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Deep Cleaning (Occasional): Remove laces and insoles. Hand wash the shoes using a gentle shoe cleaner. You can wash laces and insoles separately.
- Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda packets inside the shoes when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration. Keep them stuffed with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can compromise the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
