The Run That Fits Better and Feels More Stable
Fit is just as important as support.
A shoe that’s too narrow can create pressure, discomfort and inefficiency in your stride.
The 860v14 wide version solves that.
It provides the same structured support and cushioning as the standard model, but with additional space where you need it most.
The result is a smoother, more natural run — with less restriction and better overall comfort.
For many runners, that difference is immediate.
