New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v14 Men's Running Shoes (4E Width)

Built for reliability on the long haul, the 860v14 sustains comfort on all distances; it is a true go-to shoe. The Fresh Foam X 860v14 combines innovative Stability Plane technology alongside the underfoot cushioning experience of New Balance's Fresh Foam X.

Engineered Mesh Upper

Providing you with an enjoyable running experience and keeping you focused on training days, the Fresh Foam x 860v14 has a newly engineered mesh upper. The strategic perforations help to encourage cool, fresh air to circulate round the shoes, reducing the heat build-up surrounding your feet, therefore keeping them fresh and feeling cool from start to finish. This construction is not only durable to ensure high wearability but is supportive for a comfortable, distraction-free run. Supplying feet with a soft next-to-skin sensation and a reduced seam construction, the plush materials reduce irritations or chafing from occurring, providing you with an enjoyable ride. Moisture-wicking properties work to keep your feet cool and comfortable, preventing a build-up of sweat and providing you with a quick-drying experience. A traditional lace-up construction works alongside the soft, cushioned tongue and collar to provide you with a locked-in, secure fit, and help to reduce in-shoe slipping from occurring.

Fresh Foam X Midsole

An evolution from their predecessors, the 860v14 utilises an updated dual-layer Fresh Foam X midsole constructed with approximately 3% bio-based content. This is New Balance's most cushioned Fresh Foam to date, providing incredible comfort. The top layer of the Fresh Foam X midsole is softer and more cushioned than the previous version, alongside the bottom layer, which provides a more stable experience. This combination of foams provides you with a soft, responsive landing base for confident, comfortable strides. Helping to reduce injuries and discomfort, the midsole absorbs shocks when striking down on hard, unforgiving surfaces, while encouraging a natural stride. Between the two foams is an EVA film, a Stability Plane, which helps to improve the stability and control pronation. To encourage a smooth heel-toe transition, the 860v14 utilises a rocker geometry, propelling you forward for a more natural running stride.

Durable Rubber Outsole

To provide durability and underfoot traction, the Fresh Foam X 860v14 utilises a rubber outsole compound, providing you with the grip you need on a range of surfaces. Adorning the outsole are strategically placed geometric flex grooves to offer a smooth transition between strides, further enhancing the overall support and guiding your foot forward. This will reduce the risk of injury from slipping or rolling your ankle, as you will be held in a firm and upright position. The newly updated outsole has been widened, providing you with a larger landing base, further encouraging stability for optimum comfort and control underfoot.
