About this deal

One of the major criticisms regarding New Balance's Fresh Foam X is its tendency to underperform in cold temperatures due to its EVA-based foam composition—as demonstrated in our in-depth guide. However, this time, that is not the case. They felt soft, but not overly soft. I didn’t feel like I was sinking into them, there was actually some firmness in there. Upon getting them, I put them through the all-day test, and they were amazing. 17,000+ steps in that busy day, and my legs and feet felt fresh.

Sam: So much heavier the UB 21… I don’t mind its aggressive stiff geometry and firmer ride at all but the weight at 2.7 oz more than More is the showstopper in this comparison. MEAGHAN: I’ll keep this short: The HOKA Clifton has been my ride-or-die for the last several years. The ride, the cushion, the comfort – it was all there for me in a daily trainer. That said, I may have a new spring fling in the More v3. Hoka Arahi 5: One of the best stability shoes of the year, and the best walking shoe as well. Versatile.

Another main change in this shoe is in the base and outsole. The base is a bit wider than it was in the v2. So, if you have wider feet, this new version will fit you better. The outsole also has less rubber, which helps with the flexibility of the shoe and overall ride. The More Trail v3 comes with two pull tabs: one on the tongue, which is very useful for adjusting the fit, and another on the heel, which does absolutely nothing because it's positioned too low. Hey, just cut & paste it for the v4! Our speed running shoes are just as innovative, and are powered by REVlite cushioning and lightweight solid rubber outsoles. New Balance Running Shoes: The History The engineered mesh upper is soft yet supportive (a huge improvement from last year, but we’ll get into that later). It even seems to have a little bit of stretch to it. This upper is refreshing since it seems like most shoes now are leaving out the structure. MEAGHAN: You guys, the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3 is the Lovesac of running shoes. It’s a booster cushion for your feet. It’s everything I want in a daily trainer, and exactly what my legs crave in the middle of marathon training.

Sam: Indeed very wide on the ground, soft and squishy with yet more platform width than v2. The More has truly bottomless forgiving cushion. The molded front of the tongue and cord loops for two of the eyelets are nice luxe highlights. I wondered how the tongue would stay put in such a soft upper with no gusset tongue in the mix. This shoe is very close in design and purpose to the Hoka Bondi 7, and if you saw our review of that shoe I just thought it was too stiff. The Bondi fits heavier runners really well, and the ample amounts of foam underfoot were not that useful in my tests.The FFX More Trail v3 has an 11.6% increase in stiffness and a 32.8% boost in firmness after spending 20 minutes chillin' in our freezer. With the success of maximal cushioning shoes and Hoka One One brand, New Balance created the Fresh Foam More to meet the new expectations of runners. The result is a massive shoe with equally huge cushioning. The first versions were a bit disappointing, but this third one impressed more than one tester.

While this is not strictly the case anymore, the concept stays: you can expect the cost (and features) of the shoe to go up when moving from a “8” model to a “10” or a “12”. Wow, thank you, Fresh Foam X! This shoe has loads of this foam in the midsole, and it’s an incredible ride. Fresh Foam X is responsive and soft, and this shoe has just the right amount – it doesn’t feel squishy at all and is still pretty responsive. The outsole doesn’t change much and continues to combine exposed foam and rubber. This type of configuration is more fragile, so you’ll have to keep an eye on the durability to see how well the shoe holds up over time. However, the good thing is that testers didn’t notice any signs of wear even after several long runs. Finally, the grip is adequate, even on wet surfaces. In our perspective, although it slightly enhances the shoe's performance in technical terrain, the trade-off is being positioned too high off the ground in any other scenario.Shop Men’s Fresh Foam More v3 Shop Women’s Fresh Foam More v3 How Does the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3 Perform on the Run? The New Balance Fresh Foam More v3 is probably one of my favorites maxed cushion shoes of 2021. Here are three reasons why: The Stable Upper The More v3 however, nailed the foam density, and it’s a real treat for your feet and legs no matter the runner’s weight. The ride leaves you speechless

It is quite impressive that New Balance managed to keep the weight of the More Tral v3 down with all that foam! It is only a few grams heavier than average and noticeably runs lighter than it actually is! Although some might think the upper doesn’t really impact a shoe, I beg to differ. The upper is just as important as everything else, and is one of my favorite features of the v3. It’s both soft and stable, which made it easy to slide these shoes on, and I also felt protected on my run. It wasn’t the most breathable, but that didn’t bother me because I’d rather have structure. Hard not to love it! All of the Cushion! Nigg, B. M., Baltich, J., Hoerzer, S., & Enders, H. (2015). Running shoes and running injuries: mythbusting and a proposal for two new paradigms:‘preferred movement path’and ‘comfort filter’. British Journal of Sports Medicine , 49 (20), 1290-1294.Jeff: Released last year, the React Infinity has a litany of issues for me - major arch pressure and heel slip are the majors - and while I’d prefer a more versatile shoe in the FFM, it takes the cake for me over the problematic Nike. DPT/Footwear Science: A- (Great set up. A New Balance HOKA with better forefoot flexibility. Those who want more rigidity in the forefoot may do better in the Bondi, but those that want some toe motion will do far better here) The upper is your basic mesh that allows air to reach the foot. My size 10.5 fit true to size and held my foot securely. This surprised me since I have a narrow low volume foot and I felt secure without any bagginess or extra material. The padded tongue and collar keep the More 3 in the comfort zone.
