Спорт

In today;s video, I reviewed the New Balance More V5, and explained why this is a departure from the More V4. Hint: this is a TRUE max cushion shoe.

    I actually really like the fact that they leaned into making this shoe a “just for easy run” option. I personally am the kind of guy that will plan for easy paces and push myself regardless when I should just be clocking in some chill miles. Need a shoe like this in my rotation!

    Thank you so much!!! I think I prefer the v4; it’s more versatile and discounted in many places. However, if you really like cushioning, the v5 would be the better option. It’s softer, and not made for data workouts, but it has a ton of foam that will be comfy on easy/slow runs.

    My first run in them today, and it was incredible. I have many pairs of running shoes, and this by far is the best and most comfortable long run shoe I have ever tried. The shoe is lighter, and the midsole foam is definitely softer than the V4. Doesn't tire you out on those long runs either.

    I bought the More v4 after you hyping it and it has been such a fantastic shoe even after 300 miles. I think the extra softness of the More v5 might be a hinder since I use the v4 for anything from easy to tempo to speed work especially on the tread for extra cush. The v4 is just enough to not feel like you're sinking!

NB fan for years but these are over the top mush, unstable 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.

    Wondering if it's too soft to feel much rocker action, (or stability)? Wasn't expecting these reports of "softer than the v4", because an NB rep hinted at the opposite. Guess a victim may need to try it on for themselves, to get an idea what the forward roll is like. The v3 felt smooth rolling, and stable, for me. But, v3 was not really super-squish soft. Prefer stable over mega squish.

I would think just from walking in the v5, that that shoe will be more versatile like Triumph 20-21, Novablast3-4. Haven't run in the v5 yet so maybe premature in my opinion on it.
