Features
Experience ultimate comfort in every step with the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6. The best miles are the ones where you barely notice your feet—this everyday training shoe delivers everyday versatility and the most cushioned Fresh Foam X experience yet.
In our Fresh Foam X More v6 review, run tester Caroline said "They feel like slippers that you want to run in. Soft, light and just plain good."
Details:
- Upper: The soft, luxurious material feels breathable even on those hot summer runs, while the padded heel collar provides comfort without irritation. The gusseted tongue creates a secure lockdown fit, and extra eyelets let you customize your lacing for the perfect feel. Plus, long laces give you options like the marathon loop to prevent heel slippage and reflective details help keep you visible during early morning or evening runs.
- Midsole: The Fresh Foam X compound delivers incredible comfort with that perfect balance of soft and compressive cushioning. You get maximum foam underfoot without feeling clunky or smushy—it's substantial enough to keep your feet from sinking in while still providing that plush, protective feel your legs crave.
- Outsole: The strategically placed outsole gives you durability and traction while reducing weight.

Worst shoes I have purchased from you
Terrible fit, the right shoe falls over so badly I can hardly walk, much less run. No support, my foot is at an angle. Worst pair I have bought from New Balance and Fleet Feet. Wore them twice and shelved them cannot use them they are that poorly made. Waste of $160!
