New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X 860 V14
The 860v14 is New Balance's standard-bearer for stability daily training. The Fresh Foam X midsole delivers cushioning comparable to the neutral 880 series while the medial post adds a layer of correction for mild overpronators — enough to make a difference without overcorrecting a neutral stride. The engineered mesh upper is breathable across higher-mileage weeks and the fit runs consistent with New Balance sizing. At a 10mm drop, the 860v14 suits runners transitioning from traditional trainers without requiring a gait adjustment. For runners who have been told they overpronate but don't want a motion-control shoe, the 860v14 is the most straightforward starting point.

- + Medial post adds stability for mild overpronators without overcorrecting a neutral stride
- + 10mm drop suits runners transitioning from traditional trainers
- + Consistent New Balance sizing — runs true to size across colorways

- - Not a speed or racing shoe — designed for daily mileage only
Our verdict
Best stability daily trainer for mild overpronators we evaluated. The Fresh Foam X cushioning and medial post deliver the right balance of support and comfort for 30 to 50 miles per week.
