New Balance mens Fresh Foam X More V4

First off, I'm a shoe nerd. I admit it. Growing up my Dad would buy us only 𝙏𝙃𝙀 cheapest shoes he could find. They were so bad that we'd wear them out in a couple of months and I should be honest, I am not hard on my shoes, either (my older brother was a different story). Didn't make a difference. My Dad would rather buy us a pair of new shoes for $20 every couple months rather than spend $35 on ONE pair that would last at least a year (if not more). As a result, when I finally got a job and could buy my own, I had quite a collection. A habit I continue to this day. With that in mind, within the last year I've purchased 2 other pairs of New Balance trail running shoes which were (at that time) the most comfortable pairs of shoes I had ever purchased. Since then I bought a pair of Brooks Ghost Max which replaced those as the most comfortable pair of shoes I had ever owned. The Fresh Foam X have now replaced (by a slim margin) my Brooks for sheer comfort. I don't really run, but I DO an awful lot of hiking and walking. So strict comfort is pretty important to me. These shoes are simply brilliant in how comfortable they are. The previously mentioned New Balance Trail runners were, for a lack of a better term, had almost too much cushion. I know, how can a shoe have TOO much cushion? Well, those do...at least for me. For instance, I would never wear them for weight training, especially doing the dead lift. The cushion is SO pronounced that I'd be worried they could pull me off balance a little too easily. But then again, they aren't designed for weight lifting, so just keep that in mind. The Foam X shoes are a perfect balance between great cushion and sheer comfort. It must be hard for companies to achieve that balance without going too far but Kudo's to NB for pulling it off. The soles aren't as durable as the trail runners perhaps, but oh man are they a joy to wear. Again, since I don't run I cannot speak to how stable they'd be at doing any long/short distance running but man am I happy with mine. Overall 𝙏𝙃𝙀 most comfortable shoes I own (and I own a LOT). I am VERY satisfied with my purchase.

Great cushioned shoe. These are my second set of this model New Balance. I used these primarily for 5-7 mile walks on pavement. Very comfortable and similar in fit and performance to a Hoka Clifton or Bondi. Make sure you get the Fresh Foam “MORE” model.

This shoe is great! Very cushioned and comfortable. Very happy with them.

First off, I’m a heavy-ish runner, 190lbs- so take this review from that standpoint. My initial step in reaction was “wow” they are SO cushy and comfortable. The footbed, heel collar, and tongue are all extremely comfortable. They have a really nice glove like fit (true to size). However, as cushy as they are they are also mushy feeling when running. As a heavy runner I feel like I often bottom out on my strides in these shoes. The cushion is GREAT, but the energy return is nonexistent. Overall I really enjoy these shoes for walking around and all day comfort. However, I don’t love them for running as I feel they lack the bounce that I desire.

Very comfortable, it kind of lifts you up like lifts.The only thing I don't like is that it's it squeaks.When you kind of walk, but it's very comfortable, especially if you have tyminitis or diabetic feet

I can't knock the product itself but caused a lot of ankle pain for me. I have flat feet, fallen arches, whatever you want to call it. I overpronate quite a bit given this issue. I've two pair of 1080 v12s and a pair of hierro 7s that I love. I tried to like these and contemplated keeping them in the first place until they started to really hurt my feet/ankles. They are very soft and made me feel a bit clumsy, like walking on squishy platforms. I planned to look past this as I'm sure it would improve as I broke them in and smashed down the foam some. However after a few weeks of light use, my good ankle began to hurt quite a lot. I assume all the cushion allows your foot to flex inward even more straining the ligaments that support your arch. These even felt like they left your foot in a back and outward position that would help prevent this but it didn't. Just too soft. Great shoe if you have normal feet and want a ton of cushion but not a wise choice for flat footers in my opinion. Returned.

I have been struggling with a wound on the ball of my foot for almost 6 years. I have had special orthotics, worn a boot and seen several podiatrists who all wanted to do some sort of different surgery. I bought these shoes after seeing a you tube video about relieving pressure on your forefoot for runners. I thought maybe it would help me. It really has. My wound is the best it has been and seems to finally be closing. The shoes fit true to size. I got wide ones and they are very comfortable in the toe box. They are extremely light weight. When the package arrived I wondered if it actually had shoe inside. There is a slight learning curve if you are not used to the way these shoes redistribute your weight. At first it feels like you’re falling backwards a bit. That subsides quickly. And finally, I think they look great though my family was quick to call them “Dad” shoes. Well I am a Dad, so maybe it’s not that bad. I certainly don’t think they look like the older stereotypical new balance that men would wear with tube socks and shorts. Overall I’m super happy and on the hunt for a pair of hikers with similar geometry.

Sehr weicher u dämpfender Schuh zum laufen. Dadurch fehlt es an Stabilität. Meines Erachtens für erfahrene Läufer eine gute Ergänzung. Für mich um nach einer Verletzung wieder rein zu kommen. Kein schneller Schuh. Qualität sehr gut

wow quede asombrado con la amortiguación que da, al principio si pensé acanijo creo que es demás esta amortiguación, pero ya luego se adapta tu pie y para trotar caminar etc estan de lujo, el problema es que cuando vuelves a usar tus tenis normales o zapatos pues ahora si que te bajas de la nube para regresar a la realidad jajajja recomendados si lo tuyo es esto ya sea por problemas en tus rodillas o tobillos lo que sea, y aparte de su género son de los que mejor diseño tienen la neta, esa suela se ve fregonsisima

Este producto ya lo había adquirido en el pasado, lo utilice en su mayoría para hacer rutinas de caminata y unas corridas controlada. Soportan un peso de 95 kg y no hay deformación en la suela. Los volvería a adquirir nuevamente

Excellent trainer, so comfortable

Demasiado blanda no tienen buena pisada. Fascistas tras 5 días de uso.
