Last year I felt the New Balance 860v12 was a little bit firm for me personally. I know a lot of people that have used the New Balance 860v12 and have certainly enjoyed it.
There might be a deeper conversation when they come in to upgrade their running shoes, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I found that shoe to be a little bit too firm for me and that's OK. I'm not saying what I require is the absolute gospel in regard to shoe technology, but I really like what they've done with the New Balance 860v13.
I wouldn't be doing the full midsole review if I didn't touch on the medial side of this shoe. When we turn around the New Balance 860v12, there's strategically placed dual density foam on the medial side. It's a little bit lower from the foot and it's glued into position through that medial side to provide that arch support for your overpronator.
However, with the New Balance 860v13 we have a slightly shallower arch support on offer. It's still roughly the same density and we'd probably agree that it's not too dissimilar to what it was with the New Balance 860v12, but there is a little bit less of it. That means you get a more cushioned feel underfoot experience.
When I put this shoe on I can certainly feel there's a bit of arch support but it's by no means as noticeable as last year's version 12 which I think is a good thing. Having the arch support there being less intrusive is bang on.

Code doesn't do anything. Says invalid.
I'm not buying a shoe without free returns either.
