New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4

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.
