New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6

New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size by unanimous source consensus. Toe box deeper than the V5, wide toe box; also available in wide width.

Feel

Maximum cushioning, very soft foam with a sink-in sensation. Smooth heel-to-toe transition thanks to the rocker; limited responsiveness, no significant energy return.

Durability

No precise mileage estimate across sources. The Fresh Foam X foam is described as delicate: one source notes visible wear on the exposed midsole after just a few weeks of use.

Best for

Easy running and recovery at slow pace. Also suited for extended on-feet use throughout the day. Not recommended for speed sessions or mixed training.

Weak points

High weight (310–361 g depending on size) is a drawback at faster paces. Price increase over the V5 for minimal updates, with the V5 still available at lower prices.
