Verdict
The New Balance 860 v14 is a high-performing option in its class — a stability scoring 85/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 300g, it is moderately heavy for a stability. The 36mm heel stack — a generous stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 34 HC, returning 58% of impact energy and feeling moderately responsive underfoot. Geometrically, the 860 v14 runs on a mid 10mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 26mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 95mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in B/D/2E/4E widths. True to size. Excellent stability with wide options. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for overpronators, daily training, wide feet, long runs, and performs less well for neutral runners or speed work.
