New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v15 Women's Running Shoes

Built for reliability over the long haul and sustained comfort over all distances, the 860 is a true go-to shoe. The Fresh Foam X 860v15 combines innovative Stability Plane technology with the pinnacle underfoot cushioning experience of Fresh Foam X.

Engineered Mesh Upper

Providing you with an enjoyable running experience and keeping you focused on the road ahead, the Fresh Foam X 860v15 has been designed with an updated engineered mesh upper. The mesh perforations are more breathable than their predecessor and allow more cool, refreshing air to circulate, while removing unwanted warm air, helping to create a perfect environment where feet can thrive. Supplying feet with a soft next-to-skin feel and a reduced seam construction, the plush materials reduce the chance of irritation being caused by chafing, providing you with an enjoyable and distraction-free experience. The soft, padded heel collar and tongue sit close to the ankle and foot to increase overall comfort, and lastly, a traditional lacing system locks the midfoot to prevent excessive movement for a secure fit.

Fresh Foam X Midsole

An update from their predecessors, the 860v15 utilises a dual-layer Fresh Foam X midsole for enhanced cushioning and energy return. 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, and works alongside the bottom layer, which provides a more stable experience. The combination of foams provides you with a soft, responsive landing for confident, comfortable strides. Helping to reduce injuries and discomfort, the midsole absorbs shocks when striking down on hard, unforgiving surfaces. Between the two foams is an EVA Stability Plane, which helps to correct over-pronation for increased stability. Encouraging a smooth heel-to-toe transition, the 860v15 utilises a rocker geometry, propelling you forward for a more responsive running stride.

Durable Rubber Outsole

The Fresh Foam X 860v15 features a durable rubber outsole compound designed to provide reliable traction across various surfaces. Strategically placed geometric flex grooves enhance support by ensuring a smooth transition between strides and guiding the foot forward. This design helps maintain a firm, upright position, reducing the risk of injury from slipping or rolling your ankle.
