As a stability-oriented daily trainer, the 860v15 targets runners who want structured support for everyday road mileage rather than speed. New Balance leans on its Stability Plane technology in place of a traditional medial post, positioning it for neutral-to-mild overpronators logging steady training miles. Fit feedback flags potential narrowness, so the widely available 2E/4E widths are relevant.
Fresh Foam X midsole paired with a Stability Plane structure is designed for supportive, cushioned daily training, though independent stack and firmness measurements were not available in this evidence.
Fit ratings suggest the shoe may run narrow, with a fit score noted as inconsistent; multiple widths (B, standard, 2E, 4E) are offered to compensate.
Runners seeking a supportive road daily trainer for steady mileage, especially those needing wide-width options or mild pronation control.
You want a lightweight, responsive shoe for racing or fast workouts, or you need confirmed stack and drop figures before buying.
