New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6
The newest More keeps the formula of the v5: a very tall, very wide Fresh Foam X platform with a strong rocker, tuned for comfort above all. It is a recovery-day and easy-long-run specialist that suits runners who want maximum protection underfoot. Expect small refinements in weight and upper fit rather than a new ride.
Reach for the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 for easy recovery days, long runs and everyday training miles. A wide, stable base keeps it steady without stability hardware, so it's a good pick if you're mostly neutral but like a planted feel. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Maximum cushioning for easy days
- Stable despite the tall stack
- Durable full-coverage outsole
- Bulky and heavy
- One-dimensional; easy paces only
