New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v13 Men

The New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v13 is a comfortable antipronation running shoe. It is ideal for distances from 5 to 42 km and gives you a smooth and soft transition. The shoe provides a lot of stability and an average cushioning. Although it is just as stable as its predecessor, it does feel smoother and softer. The Fresh Foam X 860v13 is produced according to the New Balance Green Leaf standard. Use is made of recycled materials, organic materials and residual materials.

The upper is made of a slightly thicker, seamless mesh material for a snug fit. It feels soft and is airy thanks to the breathable qualities. The special embroidery on the medial side of the midfoot keeps the foot well under control. This is extra pleasant when you get tired and start moving more inwards. Finally, the New Balance logo is reflective, which makes you more visible in the dark.

The midsole is made up of multiple layers that together provide a softer feel and more energy return than its predecessor. Under the midfoot is Dual Density material that works together with the horseshoe shape in the bottom layer of the midsole. This ensures that you are evenly guided forward to prevent overpronation. The top layer of the midsole is softer and placed under the mid- and forefoot for a softer and “bouncy” feeling as the foot rolls off.

The outsole has the characteristic design of most FreshFoam products. It is made up of different materials with different shapes, specific to the stage of settlement. For example, it runs all the way under the midfoot on the inside for extra strength. Under the forefoot, the outsole is slightly softer and has more space between the elements for a smooth push-off.
