Brand specifications

The shoe at a glance.

The Fresh Foam X More v6 is a deeply cushioned, soft road shoe intended for recovery runs and comfortable easy mileage. It suits runners who want substantial cushioning when pace is secondary to comfort. Its heavy build and limited airflow are the main tradeoffs, particularly if you dislike a warm, substantial shoe during ordinary training. Despite the broad outsole, the standard version feels snug with limited interior volume; wide and extra-wide options are listed, so judge the space around your foot rather than the shoe’s external size.

Pros and cons

Our summary of published testing and reviewer impressions. Checked 2026-10-03.

Pros

Very strong cushioning beneath the foot.
A broad base helps steady the soft foam.
The upper and outsole held up well in testing.

Cons

The interior is narrow and low in volume.
Weight and limited airflow reduce versatility.

A closer look

Where it fits in your running

Recorded uses: easy & recovery, everyday runs. Designed for road running.

Cushioning and ride

Published testing emphasizes deep cushioning and a planted platform, especially under the forefoot. A wide outsole does not mean the interior offers equally generous room.

Our editorial ride category: soft.

Fit and sizing

The independent review found standard width snug despite the broad outsole; wide and extra-wide options are listed by New Balance.

Recorded widths: standard, wide, extra wide.
