Photos New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4
1 / 4
Lighter, taller and even more responsive; this is the renewed New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4, one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year for loyal followers of the Boston-based company. It stands as the flagship model for cushioning designed for long distances, providing exceptional softness and comfort.
The New Balance Fresh Foam More v4 running shoe has solidified their position as one of New Balance's most reliable choices for runners who prioritise protection across all distances, though it is particularly well-suited for extended runs. This model incorporates the latest technology from the brand, with the goal of achieving the perfect balance between protection, comfort, and versatility.
Main features of the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4
In terms of innovations in the Fresh Foam X More v4 from New Balance, it's evident that there's an increased amount of material in the midsole. As announced by the Boston brand, it's the most substantial midsole to date in any New Balance model. The innovative Fresh Foam X foam, already present in the previous version, the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3, ensures maximum cushioning benefits for runners of all levels, from the first kilometre to the last. However, the improvements don't stop there; this model also features a new rocker with a wider platform, a technological innovation that achieves the ideal equilibrium between cushioning and support for smooth transitions.
The upper also undergoes changes to maximise the comfort of neutral-gait runners. The new construction also substantially lightens the weight of the trainer as a whole. The idea is to offer the runner a complete 360-degree comfort experience, thus providing a more natural feel.
The outsole of the New Balance Fresh Foam More v4 has been constructed through a highly wear-resistant compound that promotes superior traction.
Technical specifications of the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4
Despite the maximalist geometric design and substantial midsole height, the technical specifications of these new New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 trainers reveal a low-profile model with a 4-millimetre drop. Moreover, despite the initial impression, all the new materials introduced by New Balance have made these Fresh Foam X More v4 running shoes lighter than the previous version, weighing 237 grams in the women's version and 295 grams for the men's version.
In summary, the result of the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4's redesign is a trainer that offers more lightness, dynamism, and reactivity for running. It continues to stand as a top-tier cushioning option for long-distance runs. It won't disappoint you!
Review of New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4
Jorge García Betanzos
TesterNew Balance Fresh Foam X More v4, maximalist concept to ensure comfort and safety
The New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 are my first maximalist shoes. What does the term maximalism mean when applied to running? To explain it in a very simple way, they are shoes with a very big sole (about cms thick) and normally with a lowdrop, in this case they have a drop of 4 millimeters.
Of course if you want a very well cushioned running shoes, the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 is a very good option.
What kind of runners are the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 for?
Clearly I recommend them for two profiles of runners:
- The first profile would be those people who need maximum cushioning. The almost 3 centimeters of the New Balance Fresh Foam X midsole are a guarantee of comfort and security in the tread.
- The second type of runner profile for which I think it is recommended is for those of us who like to have more than one model that adapts to our training or running outings.
I'll give you an example, right now I'm combining these New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 with the Skechers GO run Ride 10 The first ones I use for days with more kilometers and when I go out earlier in the day, where my body asks for comfort. While the second ones I use them for days when I go running later and I feel like going a little lighter and more agile. However, the best thing to do is to read on and determine for yourself if they are for you or not.
For what distances do we recommend the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4?
Because of their concept and dimensions, they are more suitable for the more kilometers we run. But this has to be adapted to your circumstances. That is to say, for example, I usually do outings of between 7 and 15 kilometers. In my case I will prefer these New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 for long runs of 15 kilometers and also when I plan a long run from half marathon upwards.
What we liked most about the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4
While slightly lighter in weight than their predecessors, the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 weighs in at around 295 grams in men's size 9.5 and 237 grams in women's size 6.5. Without being the lightest shoes on the market or the brand, this weight is surprising.
When you look at the model, the bulky midsole is very striking. In addition to its 3 centimeters of thickness, the sole protrudes through the width of the shoes. As you can imagine, with all this midsole packaging, this model has maximum stability in the tread.
Therefore, cushioning and stability are the fundamental pillars of these New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4. With these two concepts what is achieved is a very high comfort. Since you wear these shoes you have the peace of mind that you will have a training or race where your feet will always be well protected, and that is something that many of the runners who follow us on RUNNEA value.
Opportunities for improvement in the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4
Its opportunities for improvement are at the same time its features. That is to say, don't expect fast response from the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4. You're not going to get your best times with them because they're not meant for those times.
But that in itself isn't a bad thing. What I do think would be interesting for the fifth version of this model is to reduce some design elements of the upper that detract some breathability from the mesh area, which wraps around the top of our feet.
With which models can we compare the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4?
Final conclusions of the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4
I personally really like this maximalist model from New Balance. Having that feeling and guarantee of comfort is always something I appreciate having in my closet.
And as a last point I am sure that in the aesthetic part also will not leave anyone indifferent, or love them or hate them, that is also a maximalist shoe.
