Expert Review Sources

  • Running Shoes Guru : 86.5 / 100 — « Built by New Balance around the Fresh Foam X midsole, the Fresh Foam X More v6 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (302 g, a 3.3 mm drop). A smart choice for runners looking for a 3.3 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 86.6 / 100 — « The Fresh Foam X More v6 continues New Balance’s formula of cloud-soft cushioning and a super-thick midsole offered at a fair price. We found that it truly shines on recovery days and easy jogs, although it can also handle long runs if you don't push the pace. The fit remains snug in standard width and the weight is heavier than we’d prefer, but for those seeking a comfort-first ride with tons of foam underfoot, this shoe is hard to beat. »
  • RunMag : 85.6 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
