NOT what I was expecting! New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 first impressions review | Run4Adventure

NEW BALANCE FRESH FOAM X MORE V4 first run and first impressions review. It's road running shoe time on the channel, in fact, it's deeply cushioned road shoe time because in today's video we are taking the super plush New Balance Fresh Foam X More V4 out for its first run. This is a heavily cushioned, neutral daily trainer that I've been hearing a lot of good things about, so let's get them laced up and take them for a spin on the roads of Cornwall!
Really hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

    Really like the V4 for recovery and longruns when the legs are bit tired. I think it gets the bounciest when heelstriking. The outsole works well for me even on lihht trails. Plus this shoe gets better with time midsolewise.

    I had v3 and really liked the shoe. Very soft, but pure pleasure for long miles on tarmac. I had major problems running on roads because of joint pain (O-wired legs) and the NB Fresh Foam More v3 brought me "back on the streets". Looks a bit silly though, but hey, it's running and not a model contest, even if "quite close" in some scenarios 😂

    I went to the local shoe shop today and the plan was to buy the V4. It is ridiculously soft! Never tried anything like it. And surprisingly wide on the foot. I had the exact same feeling when it comes to the volume and depth on the midfoot. My second choice was Novablast 3 but my size was sadly sold out. Tried the Nimbus 25 and it is a very different shoe that felt much more firm. Actually my favorite shoe was triumph 21. It felt like the perfect shoe. Balanced soft, stabile and very comfy. And a good geometry. I`m a tall and heavy runner ( 2m/95kg) My worry is that I will flatten this shoe out in a short period of time cause it is sooo soft. Any experiences on that? I'm considering bying the Trail V3 instead and using on the roads this winter.

    My go to shoe for long runs, like the low drop and flexy but very cushy sole. Would use them more if they were not so narrow fit in the standard version. Something to consider if you have wider feet. I was a hardcore racing flat/barefoot shoe runner until some back problems made me impulse buy those, now I'm a born again runner with more perspective :)

    I have the V3 trail and love them. Strictly for work, walking around 12-15 miles per day. I finally found the all black V3 trail from NB website and when they arrived they were definitely smaller and more narrow then my others which I found strange. I have 3 pair of the more V3 trail and thought the black would be the same but turned out they was more narrow. Unless I just got an “off pair” so I’m looking at the black/white V4 - I just wish they was all black

    Probably done 300+ km in mine. Did not like this shoe. #1 complaint is they run big so may need to size down (I bought the blue color that was price reduced and I felt the shoe was not up to ordinary spec). Upper feels cheap. Insole feels rough. By the time it gets to the outsole they're big like clown shoes. The reason I stuck with the shoe for over 300 km is that the foam is very good and I didn't want to toss them out before they wore out. A few years back my New Balance insoles would slip out the back of the shoe near the collar, I just do not have good luck with New Balance.

    I agree that this shoe does not feel as heavy as it looks but the foam is a bit too dead for my liking.. its eva after all. I much prefer something based on pebax (with a plate) ... the fit is not bad but i have to tighten the laces quite a lot to get a good lockdown .. imho, its an okay shoe for slow runs but it feels like a old school shoe, except the highstack .. for a 10k, it felt surprisingly similar to me to something like the mach 5 .. another EVA shoe .. i would recommend neither personally, there are better options nowadays, more protective and bouncier .. I think it will make a nice walking shoe at least

    It’s strange I had the complete opposite experience from you with theses Because I don’t sink into the foam it feels firm to run in and because I don’t sink into the foam I don’t bonce out of it and feel energy return I have the sc trainer v1 and I love it because it feels soft and because it has lots of energy return It must be are biomechanics or something Although most people would probably agree with you saying the more v4 is soft .. feels soft to the hand and to walk in it just doesn’t feel soft to me running in it .

    I really didn’t like these at all and oddly the midsole to me fails miserably .Ilove max cushioned shoes as I’m constantly on my feet daily but I found the fresh foam more v4 big, clunky and uncomfortably underpronation inducing to me. While it’s soft it isn’t springy enough leading it to feeling a bit dead .I loved my hoka Clifton 8’s which felt slightly softer and recently I’m wearing ASICS noosa tri15’s which I also feel are softer, bouncier and obviously lighter. sadly tho new balance felt really disappointing to me .Ive ordered some new balance fuel cell rebel v3 on order which I’ve heard great things about and I hope are better than the more v4.

    most of you guys don‘t talk about for what kind of foot shape the shoes are made for. so sad to see that. there are 3 types of pronation for feet. every shoe is different. this is why many viewers are confused and giving bad reviews for the shoes. it‘s not shoe‘s fault it‘s rather our fault not having the knowledge about shoe shapes and our foot shape and how we run. made the same mistake and buying only after searching for it. many companies or seller also do not give the information. most important thing.
