The New Balance M860v 2 running shoes feature great cushioning technologies for a premium feel as well providing the necessary support that is required for someone who over-pronates. The shoe contains cushioning technologies like ABZORB which provides a cushioned landing through the heelstrike to the forefoot, N-ERGY which is a gel platform in the heel which absorbs shock superbly & features also ACTEVA LITE, which is NBs lightweight midsole material. All of which combine to make this shoe supremely comfortable whilst the Dual-Density Medial Post offers runners great stability, stamping out over-pronation. In the 860v 2 the upper has been redesigned & upgraded, the synthetic overlays have been more strategically placed & the outsole has been modified to accommodate for a smoother transition from heel to forefoot. The N-Durance carbon rubber outsole compound is also more prevalent, featuring more in harder wearing areas which is going to extend the life of your shoe.
