FAQs

Are the New Balance 860v2 true to size?

Generally, New Balance shoes, including the 860v2, are considered to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the most comfortable fit for your specific needs.

Can I use these shoes for running?

While the 860v2 incorporates performance cushioning like `ABZORB®` and `N-ERGY®`, it's primarily designed as a versatile sneaker blending performance and lifestyle. It is suitable for light runs or casual jogging, but for dedicated, high-mileage running, you might consider models specifically engineered for advanced running performance.

What is `ABZORB®` technology?

`ABZORB®` is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption, helping to disperse impact forces away from the foot during activity. This results in enhanced comfort and protection.

What is `N-ERGY®` technology?

`N-ERGY®` is another New Balance cushioning system that utilizes a resilient elastomer to deliver advanced shock absorption and energy return. It's designed to provide a springier, more responsive feel underfoot.

How do I clean my 860v2 sneakers?

Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap diluted in cold water with a soft cloth or sponge to clean the mesh and leather. Avoid submerging the shoes. Air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Info needed: The product description does not specify if wider widths are available for the 860v2. Please check product specifications or consult with a New Balance retailer for available width options.

What activities are these shoes best for?

The New Balance 860v2 is ideal for daily wear, urban commuting, casual walking, light gym workouts, and activities where a blend of comfort, support, and modern style is desired.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound while walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check the outsole for any loose parts.

Feet feel too warm or sweaty

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice can significantly impact comfort. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.

Laces come undone frequently

Try using a 'surgeon's knot' or double knotting your laces for a more secure fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to avoid restricting circulation.

Minor scuffs or marks on leather overlays

For light marks, a soft, damp cloth can often remove them. For more stubborn scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be used, following product instructions carefully.

Setup: To ensure the best fit and comfort, try on the New Balance 860v2 with the type of socks you typically wear. Walk around to assess the fit; there should be about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, with your heel feeling secure. Compatibility: These sneakers are highly compatible with a range of activities including casual daily wear, urban exploration, light walking, and low-impact gym activities. They pair well with athletic apparel, jeans, or casual trousers, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Care: 1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. Mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water and use a cloth or sponge to gently scrub the mesh and leather surfaces. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. 2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials. You can stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. 3. Maintenance: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
