New Balance More v5 First Run Review
The New Balance More v5 is a max cushioned training shoe designed to offer the ultimate in comfort. Priced at $155, the More v5 introduces a tweaked midsole foam, new rocker geometry and revised rubber layout. In this video, I give an overview of the shoe, put it through 20 miles of testing and let you know my thoughts on how it stacks up.

Wow!!!! I just can't wait for this show! More V4 has been my savior for my surgical foot for 2 years at home. ❤ Thanks so much for your in-depth review!!!
"Holy Chic-Fil-A! This is wider than a buttered pig on a Saturday night!" 🤣Put some respect on those Yowana-isms.
❤ the channel. Happy you are growing and getting shoes near release. Balos I may pick up through your link when I and if I do.
Broooo ! You’re on fire with these releases , I tip my hat to you sir
i love these videos! its like a vlog + doco + shoe review
I heard this wasn't coming out til August. Glad to hear it's worth the wait. I have the 1080v13 and the Morev4. Really excitied to get this! Thanks for the review!
Wasn't expecting that review! Another shoe to go on my shortlist!
Was waiting for this one, I had the V3 and it was a great shoe, definitely getting this version
I really like you being on the early list. I often wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning and glad I slept through last night or I'd be super tired this morning. It's seriously impressive that you can do these videos back-to-back. The 1080v10-1080v12 uppers were the stretchiest and I think that they had to drop that stretchy upper because of a Nike lawsuit. The More V3 upper feels stiffer. One of the things that I love about the More is that it is very wide with a rounded toebox. The 1080 is a bit less rounded but I can comfortably fit in the 4E with both of them. I do not know that I need a shoe like this but it's nice to have the choices.
After recently finding your awesome channel, I bought the NB 860v14’s over here in the UK and absolutely love them! Tested well on last week’s trip to Stockholm. You’re a bad influence as now I’m after the NB More v5’s!

Oh my god! Bangers after bangers! Let's go! Can't wait for your 100 mile review. Next day you might even review the SC trainer v3!
Thanks for the review, I really wanted to hear your opinion on this one. I have the previous version for trail and have already 500k on it. Is my top shoe for off road, I am heavier and barreling down the trail..., this is the only shoe that allowed to open up and not destroy my knees. Paradoxically even with the high stack it gives stability, ignores larger rocks and keeps me planted. I am glad to see you like it.
shout out to new balance indeed, the only major shoe brand to still manufacture in the US and UK
I put about 400 miles on v3 and I have 80 on v4. I'm anxious to try v5 - the black and grey colorway is 🔥.

Now I'm undecided about what max cushioning shoes I will get next to replace my On Cloud Eclipse: Mizuno Wave Sky 8 or the new kid on the block More v5 ! So many great options. I am more inclined to the Mizuno's because it is my number 2 brand and I was not wowed about the Vongo v6. But this More seems great besides the design not being that modern. Tge Wave Sky 8 has dual layer middlesole ( Enerzy and Enerzy Nxt) a rocker , 8mm drop and lost ONLY 35g at size 9 vs. Sky 7. Thanks for your video.
I just got mine same color way and let me tell ya I get these shoes for walking 8 to 10 miles a day and I am already loving this, this is by far the best new balance shoe I have put on my feet EVER! It fits snug hugging my feet in loving comfortable bliss and the wait was well worth it, I have the nova blast 4, the cloud eclipse, SCT v1, and v2, 1080 v13, and v12, more v4s SCE v4, and this just blows them all away in my opinion, in cushion, the way the upper holds my feet and the soft pillow like upper. I don't have the Balos yet, but I think it can be ordered in August. I ordered this shoe last week on the 3rd from a store close to me Fleet Feet. I couldn't go in and buy it, but I could order it online! This shoe was well worth the wait!!!
Those look awesome! I also think it's amazing that they sent your wife a pair too! I might just get a pair
I did however get the On Cloud Eclipse and the Nova Blast 4 and I am shocked just how much I like the Nova Blast 4 my feet are loving the upper and midsole!!!! On Cloud Eclipse is very nice too, but I think I like the Novas better they are just so light!!!!
I adore the More v4, and the way you describe the softness and bounce of the v5, reminds me of the Permafrost version of the v4. One of the nice things about the v4, is that you can always find it at some hefty discounts, so I hope this continues with the v5. I do hope the durability is better, because for me they're not as good anymore after 250 K.
Earned an easy sub 👍 ordered a pair of rebel v4's earlier this morning. Then this afternoon I ordered some 1080 v13's. Now I'm looking at getting a pair of these this evening... 😮💨 New balance is killing it. And my bank account lol. Keep up the content and lmk your thoughts on these 3 shoes in rotation. Thank you!

Hahaha new balance is on fire right now. In terms of a rotation with those three, the 1080 and more v5 would have a lot overlap. I absolutely loved the 1080s and have 300 miles on my pair. If I were you I would hold off on getting the more v5 and if you want a third shoe instead get something a faster/bouncier or plated. So I'd use rebel v4 for short and fast, 1080 for everyday miles and then a third shoe for whatever you feel is missing. If you can't stop yourself from getting the more v5 just make sure to use my link in the description 😂 also my wife Charli has been obsessed with them for walking so you could justify it for that if you need to lol. And thank you for the sub! 🙌🏽

How is the volume? I found the V4 standard wasn't wide enough and the EE, and 4E had way way too much volume for my low instep so I always sent them back. Did like how the V4 felt under foot though.
You are killing it with the videos Yowana! Thank you. I use the Nike invincible 3 for my easy runs, but I am not the biggest fan. I just feel they aren't mind blowing, would you recommend this as an upgrade to the invincible 3?

Thank you! And this is similar to the invincible in terms of that high stack and soft feel - it's definitely not bouncier though, so if you were disappointed in the invincible's bounce then I wouldn't get the more v5. At a lower price point I'd suggest the Adizero SL2 for that soft bouncy feel. And if you want to spend $200, the balos v1 is the softest and bounciest shoe I've tried this year

Agree, on this particular model, because that outsole width might well set a new record. Some users who do great with narrow soles (not me), might be horrified, though. The older Gent (Sam), at RoadTrailRun sometimes throws specific millimeters at us.
Do you think they skywar x would make a good cusioned trainer or a recovery shoe? Or should I buy this one? I was also thinking about the 1080
I'm hoping to see just as many comparison vids as you did for the SL 2. I just bought the more v4 and need an excuse to buy the v5
Daymn boi he a thicc ass boi - v4 felt dead (yes I said it) so really interested by this feedback for v5! Great content as always thank you for putting in that work 🙏

I'd go balos if you want fast and fun, more v5 for relaxed miles and comfort and I haven't tried sc trainer v3 yet - but my prediction is it will be the best of the three for long runs. So Balos for a great daily trainer, More v5 if you want ultimate comfort and hold tight on SC Trainer v3!

Yo, only come to brazil in august Waiting, this monster will worth the wait
Could you please compare the fit of the NB Fresh More V5 with the NB 1080 V13? I wear a 2E width in the 1080 V13. Is the V5’s fit standard, or is it similarly narrow like the V13? Thank you.
Is it wider in thr midfoot compared to the 1080v13? Hope you can include fit in the midfoot in your review. 😊

i have the V4 and i also get a blister on my left first metatarsal after about 4-6miles, i do have a mild left bunion but i don't get the blister with other shoes
I have the Morev3. Great comfort and stability. Need a v3, v4, and v5 comparo vid.
I want these so bad!! I love my 1080v13's
Would you recommend something like this for someone trying to up their mileage with long runs who gets a bit of ankle aches and pains after long runs? Or something like the superblast 2 for example? :)
So far, 311 miles on my More v4, which I use primarily for recovery runs; and was wondering what to replace it with when it reaches end-of-life (500 mi?). The replacement just might be the v5 instead of the 1080 v13.
I know you say its narrow, but this shoe it says comes in three different widths....
You said you had an issue w/ the 1080v13 being unstable. Plz compare the stability of the 1080v13 to the Novablast 4. ty
Omg you have the 1080, novablast and nimbus 25 all lined up next to each other.... I have all 3! Lmao
I ordered mine today for 155 today delivery but I don't know when it ships ill know tomorrow!!!! I been waiting for this for casual wear for sometime now I am a bigger guy so I may wear these out quick but who cares Ill order another pair at this price.
Yeah but do I get these or the balos!!??
Dude my head is spinning your pace of running shoe reviews - having cramps wading through which direction I should pull the trigger, hands down More v5 better investment than 1080 Smooth the waters for me Secondly, Throw some Supwell advice my way, with summer heat and humidity recovering day to day challenging - which products should I target
@supwell
Ай бұрын
I put 300 miles on my 1080 so it's hard for me to recommend a shoe over it! The stability is a lot better in the more v5 though - so if that's a concern I would go for the more. Also the upper on the more is better for summer running. 1080 is still my pick for ultimate comfort - it feels more relaxed and less bouncy than the more v5 Also in terms of products the number one thing is carbs! Make sure you're getting enough in throughout the day - that's the best thing you can do to stay fueled up. I always eat fast digesting carbs before my run and then get in multiple sources throughout the day, a mix of convenient foods like toast/bagels and then also sweet potatoes, beans etc Also electrolytes and hydration have been huge for me. I feel so much better when I'm hydrated (I use the good old "clear pee" test to know I'm hydrated 😂) and I do notice a mental difference when I have electrolytes alongside plain water. My favorite brands are nuun and LMNT. You can get a 6 pack of nuun on Amazon. Also I've been testing a new brand of electrolytes called Saps that's pretty solid too Hope this helps and shout with any follow up questions
I use running shoes for everything AND running. 1080 v13 is perfect for that. Walking, standing all day, etc. I like Nimbus 26 too. Do you think this one would be good too? For example, I like the novablast 4 to run, but not to just walk and stand, they have I THINK the sole too round, compelling you forward, that make they great only for running for me, do you feel the same?

Do you prefer More v5, 1080 v13, or the 860v14 for walking? I am wondering if i should return my 860 for the more v5 if its better for walking. But the More also looks like it may be too much foam underfoot too.

it felt good for the 20 miles i did yesterday (broken into 2 runs), but i still want to test this one on a long run. it is on the heavier side but like the skyward x it had enough bounce and pep to make up for that. if your long runs are maxing out at 2 hours and below then you should have no problems with this as your long run shoe. anything above that and with faster paces mixed in is where i'd likely prefer a different shoe - but stay tuned for the long run test

I didn't try v4 but the fit on this was snug but comfortable for me. Ran 20 miles in it first day and didn't get any blisters/discomfort from the sidewalls
I use the More v4 as a walking shoe, they are extremely cushy-but one problem I have is the plastic heel counter (behind the Achilles) inside the fabric, which is easily folded and can't be fixed once it's folded. This folded plastic behind the heel creates a bump and can get really annoying. My question is, does the More v5 have this inner heel counter material? That is the deal breaker that would stop me from buying this shoe. Thanks Yowana!
@supwell

The top part of the upper near the Achilles is completely flexible - there's no plastic piece where the letters M and O of the more are. So you shouldn't have this issue with the v5!

Ай бұрын
I had a similar issue in the v4 achilles area, which was never an issue with the prior v3. For me, at a minimum, the heel-counter padding was not well executed. But, I also feel like the super-squishy gap heel on the v4 was not a great feature, in my case. I probably need a bit more stable structure than those who loved that exaggerated v4 squish..
I can hear the heat with those cicadas in the background lol
You should do the Mor B5 versus the Adidas strung 2
"Beating a dead triumph"..."wider than a greased pig on a Saturday night"...the ever increasing travel and drive length from the Poconos back to NC...golden tidbits
I was a huge fan of the More v3 because it was not too soft, super stable, and it had a really smooth rocker. The v4 lost some of that magic but it sounds like they've recaptured it with the v5. I'll probably pass because I don't think I need that much shoe. The Neo Vista is great but it often feels like more than I need. I was just looking wistfully at the new Hyperion 2, which also has a great rocker. I think I can get away with shoes like the Hyperion 2 or SL2 because I'm much lighter and I don't do as many miles as you do.

Hahaha I appreciate it! And there is no emb*rgo on these shoes. But in terms of more v5 vs balos both are great but more v5 is a lot more relaxed with better stability. Balos is crazy bouncy at every pace and can feel a little wild - I did another run it this afternoon and it was giving me a bit of that uncontrolled bounce that you can get from something like ZoomX. So if you're looking for comfort I'd go more v5 and for speed/fun then balos. I still need to do a long run test in both though so stay tuned
Franken runners. Tired them on, quickly took them off. NB fan for years but these are over the top mush, unstable, too thick and left me feeling it would only be a matter of time before a painful rolled ankle or worse would happen while trying to run on these platform Franken runnerss. Try them on - you'll see for yourself. The More V5 makes Bondi 8 feel like a racing flat. More V5 should be renamed - Over the Top Franken Runner v1 or Too Much V1.

More v5 for comfort and a soft ride. Skyward X for a lot of bounce and fun. Both are great but different ride experiences - skyward x will also stand up better to weight and time on feet. If you're planning to do mostly walking or runs under an hour, I'd go more v5. But for lots of longer runs the skyward x is great
I didn't know there would be any more versions of this shoe. I guess I thought it was gone.
