The More is the most cushioned shoe in the New Balance lineup, packing more plushness than ever. It receives a radical update that provides even ‘More’ cushioning than before. Stacked to the max with Fresh Foam. This low-drop Daily Trainer and long run shoe is consistently stable and highly cushioned for the entire foot while running. Providing a soft ride when your feet need extra protection from the ground.

New Balance Fresh Foam X More V4 Running Shoe Features:

What Sets It Apart:

  • Fresh Foam X midsole foam with ~3% bio-based content made from renewable resources or  ~5% recycled content
  • Screen printed 3D ‘N’ Logo
  • 34mm of maximal Heel Stack

The Fresh Foam X is the best running shoe New Balance has to offer, with a familiar and high stacked shape. This chunky trainer has plenty of foam and a tighter upper. Offering the perfect balance between comfort, performance and design. The soft yet springy and lightweight yet durable ride never goes wrong. Improving profoundly over its predecessor, the V4 uses a softer version of the original Fresh Foam used in the More V3.

Technology:

MIDSOLE
  • Soft underfoot yet maintains structure under load
  • 34mm high stacked Fresh Foam X material
  • Rockered midsole providing deep stability
OUTSOLE
  • Ground Contact Foam for lighter weight without compromising on grip levels
  • Long-term durability
  • Maximizing shock absorption
UPPER
  • Cozy mesh material for utmost comfort and softness
  • HypoKnit technology for breathability, stretch, and structure in all the right places
  • Made of 50% or more recycled material in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint.

Comfort: Sense an extreme comfort regardless of what mile or hour you are hitting. All thanks to the 34mm high-stacked midsole filled with the plushier Fresh Foam X. Providing an unchanging level of comfort throughout the day.
Any runner can be reassured with the cloud-like feel that the shoe offers, especially over hard surfaces. The solid underfoot and the aggressive rocker design will make you want to move while the shoe hugs your feet.

Traction: The smart and extensive coverage of rubber along the shoe ensures that grip levels remain intact. Using Ground Contact Foam in the outsole for less weight without sacrificing on any traction can ensure a trouble-free and slip-free run under most conditions.

Support: The integrated side walls, zonal support in the upper, wider base, and the heel counter fitting perfectly around the foot provide reliable and consistent support to your feet. Running extremely stable at turns and most road surfaces, your feet will be snuggly supported by the shape of the shoe along with the high-stacked midsole.

Protection: Whether it be a short-distance or a long-distance run, the More V4’s will provide great protection that is superior compared to most shoes. An energetic push at toe-off is combined with a super smooth ride and max stack height for the best-in-class protection in any Fresh Foam X Shoe yet. Almost perfectly distributing the force of every footstrike to receive an enjoyable energy return and making runs at easy paces feel effortless.
