The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
The 860v13 ranks fourth for knee pain relief and delivers genuine comfort and light weight at $80–$120, but widespread durability complaints about seams, heel cups, and glue defects undercut its appeal for long-term wear despite strong initial buyer satisfaction ratings.

Find your situation?
Made for some — wrong for others.
You need a proven shoe you can trust to perform consistently.
644 buyer ratings show broad consensus; New Balance is an established brand with a mature, settled product line—low-risk choice.
You want reliable running shoes without overspending on premium branding.
Mid-range street price with solid 4.3/5 rating covers the basics well; strong comfort and versatility justify the cost without luxury markup.
You want running shoes that work straight out of the box.
Cushioned midsole and comfort-focused design suggest minimal setup; no complex features or configuration needed to get started.
You seek prestige and flagship design from an established maker.
New Balance is established but this model sits in mid-tier positioning; lacks the premium design language or flagship status of higher-end lines. Consider 990v6.
You demand objectively top-tier performance in every dimension.
Low marks for stability, support, and durability are clear compromises; solid comfort rating doesn't offset weak aspects for a perfectionist. Consider Glycerin GTS 22.
Grounded in our buyer-review, reviewer-video, price and successor signals — a poor fit names a closer pick · as of Jul 15.
