Review of New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3

29 October 2024

New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3, a training shoe that meets the expectations of comfortable and secure cushioning.

After much insistence I had no choice but to say YES to the RUNNEA TEAM. I have to say that I was delighted. So here I am with my first product review for RUNNEA, and with a running shoe that has surprised me very pleasantly: the New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3 Below I go with all the details and tell you all the details, and I invite you to give them a chance as a daily training shoe that responds.

Obviously, I'm not going to tell you that they are among the select group of the most mediatic and bestsellers of the Boston brand, but, really, it is a very good option if you are looking for a running shoe with a great balance between cushioning, comfort and stability. For my characteristics and profile, I am a runner who needs to run with security and confidence, and this third version of the Fresh Foam X from New Balance has met those initial expectations.

First impressions of the New Balance FFx Evoz v3

For some time now I have been testing running shoes that above all are comfortable to support my chronic ankle injury. For me, it is very important that the shoes have a good grip in this area, and also minimize the impact.

After more than 15 runs, I can admit, the New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3 is the shoe that best fits these characteristics. It has strong rivals in this category that have come out during 2023.

Something very important to highlight is the security and stability and I think that being a model that comes without seams in the part of the mesh, makes it adapt perfectly to the foot, or at least these are my feelings.

What kind of runners are the New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3 for?

I recommend them for all runners who want to run a lot of miles but need a safe training shoe. In other words, a versatile shoe for everyday use. I am a popular runner of medium to heavy weight and it has been great for cushioning my footprint due to ankle problems.

It is ideal for runners looking for long runs and have a medium-low running technique, thanks to the 8 mm drop that has the shoe.

For what distances do we recommend the New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3?

It is true that I have tested them for any distance. I mean, I have trained short runs (less than 6 km) and slightly longer runs (up to 14 km), feeling comfortable at all times.

But being objective, New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3 are specially designed for runners looking for a shoe for medium to long distances.

What we liked most about the New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3

Fresh Foam X technology provides soft, comfortable cushioning that absorbs shock with every stride, reducing muscle fatigue and increasing running efficiency.

As I mentioned before, we must value that much of the comfort is in the tongue and upper, they are very light and make them adapt great to the upper area of the foot, making you only focus on the stride, without noticing unwanted discomfort.

As for the laces, I think they are a great choice. I had other models with which I had to check the closure of the laces, because for whatever reason, either the material or the design of the laces made them open at some point during training. To date, I didn't have any problems with the laces and although it seems a fairly minor issue, I think it is something to highlight and we almost never do it.

In addition, their durable rubber outsole offers excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, making them ideal for running on paved roads and trails. Road nuts will be happy with a running shoe that more than delivers.

Opportunities for improvement in the New Balance Fresh Foam Evoz v3

I have a narrow foot and the shoe fits very well, but I don't know how it will affect runners with wider feet.

As for wet surfaces, I've had to do a couple of runs on wet terrain and I've had small slips, but nothing big. Perhaps, for future versions they can think about improving this part.

With which models can we compare the New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3?

I think there are several running shoes from other brands that could be compared to the New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3 in terms of features and performance. Some options could be:

Final Conclusions of the New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3

As a final conclusion, I can only tell you that if you are thinking about these New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v3 as your next daily training shoe, it will be a great choice. We are talking about a very well balanced model that doesn't disappoint in almost any aspect. Cushioning, comfort and very pleasant running sensations for each of your sessions.
