Product Summary
The New Balance 860v13 Running Shoes are designed for people who overpronate when they run, meaning their arches collapse and turn inward on the foot strike. When this occurs, it can cause pain throughout the entire lower body and even in the back. Misalignment in the feet can cause misalignment in the ankles, knees, and hips. New Balance aims to combat this with the 860v13 stability running shoes.
These shoes are available in nearly 20 colorways and in narrow, medium, wide, and extra-wide sizing. They feature a medial support post that prevents the foot from rolling inward upon contact with the ground. Additionally, they have a breathable mesh upper and blown rubber outsole that provides traction on most surfaces.

Summary
