WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:

Year after year the New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 has consistently been one of the best stability running shoes with plenty of support for overpronators and enough cushion for any amount of running you throw at it. Every year, the New Balance 860 has gotten a bit softer and the New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v13 continues that trend with the softest Fresh Foam X midsole yet. This is the perfect shoe for runners looking for a supportive everyday running shoe, whether they’re training for their first race or their hundredth.

The New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 v13 features a rebuilt midsole for a softer and more cushioned ride.
