Product Information

Ogston, J. K. (2019). Comparison of in-shoe plantar loading forces between minimalist and maximalist cushion running shoes. Footwear Science , 11 (1), 55-61. Sally: I agree that New Balance really nailed it with this upper. Attractive, breathable, not overly complicated,soft and somewhat stretchy, functional and well padded tongue, flat land stretchy aces that hold, and well cushioned but not overly so heel collar - all elements of this upper are well thought out and well executed. No concerns here! However, just because the midfoot and the heel are secure doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice room in the toe box. I was able to toe splay freely with no problems. This was especially helpful on long runs when my feet started to swell. Sally: The Fresh Foam More 3 is just that: MORE. This is one massive Hoka-esque shoe with an abundance of Fresh Foam cushioning underfoot. Will it run like a soft marshmallow, or will it be that sweet well cushioned ride we all look for? Spoiler alert: I think I am in love.

Jeff: It’s big, it’s wide, it’s soft. There has never been this much FreshFoam X put underneath the foot, and the result is exactly what you think it might be. Few shoes are this soft, yet, I don’t believe many runners will have stability complaints. The platform width takes care of that, as well as a substantial rubber outsole strip along the medial side of the midfoot. BEN: Weight didn’t bother me, but cutting a few ounces never hurts. Although I don’t think I’d trade the stable platform for a weight drop. Shop Men’s Fresh Foam More v3 Shop Women’s Fresh Foam More v3 How Does the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3 Perform on the Run?

New Balance Fresh Foam More v3 First Impressions

It is quite impressive that New Balance managed to keep the weight of the More Tral v3 down with all that foam! It is only a few grams heavier than average and noticeably runs lighter than it actually is! Sam: Indeed very wide on the ground, soft and squishy with yet more platform width than v2. The More has truly bottomless forgiving cushion. Jeff B. is the token slow runner of the RTR lineup as such his viewpoints on shoe and gear can differ from those who routinely finish marathons in three hours or less. Jeff runs 40 miles per week, both roads and desert trails in Phoenix, Arizona. He has a PR's of 4:07 marathon and 5K at 23:39. In December 2019 he raced his first 50 mile trail ultra. MEAGHAN: You guys, the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3 is the Lovesac of running shoes. It’s a booster cushion for your feet. It’s everything I want in a daily trainer, and exactly what my legs crave in the middle of marathon training. In our perspective, although it slightly enhances the shoe's performance in technical terrain, the trade-off is being positioned too high off the ground in any other scenario.

Asics Kayano 28 Review, New Update- Guest reviewer Ryan Flugaur adds his thoughts to the big Kayano changes. Softer, smoother, and more fun than ever before Another thing NB got right with the More v3 is the platform width. This is a wide shoe, at 119.2mm in the forefoot and 102.1mm in the heel (average shoes are 112.6mm/89.2mm) it’s super stable which is needed since the Fresh Foam historically in my opinion has been a touch too soft. The material used on the upper is a double jacquard mesh which is flexible, and very breathable. However, as I found out while running during a rain storm halfway through my tests, they let all the water in. And they were not great at expunging the water that got in. So on those runs in the rain, your feet are going to get very wet. New Balance Fresh Foam More – Conclusion The medial side stability (above) is achieved by the broad platform but also through the use of large convex shapes on the medial midsole sidewalls with the lateral (below) having large laser engraved concave ones for some give. Classic Fresh Foam geometry amplified here I found the combination highly effective. Hoka Arahi 5: One of the best stability shoes of the year, and the best walking shoe as well. Versatile.
