New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6

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

Fit

True to size with ample room in the forefoot and toe box. The new structured heel improves lockdown over the v5. Also available in wide.

Feel

Very soft and compliant Fresh Foam X, no plate. Smooth heel-to-toe transition via the rocker. Low energy return: pure comfort, not responsiveness.

Durability

Outsole rubber described as thick and durable, but exposed midsole foam in the midfoot area shows abrasion signs within the first few runs. No precise mileage data in sources.

Best for

Recovery runs and easy-paced outings. Also viable for extended all-day standing. Not suited for fast sessions or mixed training.

Weak points

Price increased by £10/$5 over the v5 with minimal updates. Elastic laces are difficult for some runners to secure firmly during a run. Some report early abrasion on the exposed foam.
