Fresh Foam X More v5

I have the 5 and man are they moon shoes but also my go to “take it easy on yourself” shoes for sure. I don’t prefer running in them but man, the make a day on the feet a dream.

Check out the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v5. It’s on sale since the v6 is out, I got a pair for $60 USD and they are perfect whenever I’m going low and slow. My easy pace is a 10:00 mile and I’ve taken them out to 10 miles. There’s not a wow factor to them, they are a bit heavy but don’t feel like it to me and I just don’t need to think about them. They are also really stable despite the massive stack.

We are about the same speed -I have a ten mile route I like to run in my Fresh Foam X More v5s, and today I decided to run it Adios Pro 4s since I picked up a few pairs through the holidays - took about 9 minutes off my run. It’s not world class or earth shattering, but it’s a tangible benefit. You’re going to have to get used to the plate though, it makes my feet tired

I have a lot, but my most boring, I’m not going to get hurt shoe is the New Balance Fresh Foam X More V5. I can rip off 10 miles at a decent pace and feel perfectly fresh after. “Fun” daily running trainer I would say Adizero Prime X2. It has a plate, so I know it’s generally not recommended for daily running, but I honestly think it barely feels like a plated shoe.

I would look into the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v5 - it’s the best easy run shoe I’ve ever used. I can maintain a 6:30 km pace pretty easily and never feel fatigued. I do want to add the caveat that I have about 12kgs on you though.

New Balance Fresh Foam X More V5 - I picked up a pair for $60 on Amazon in October and was probably one of my steals of the year. Super cushioned and protective, light for its size, and not terribly slow. I can hold a 9:00 mile pretty easily for 10 miles in them Definitely not as bouncy or versatile as the Vomero Plus, but for $60 I can’t recommend it enough

You should check out the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v5. I got a pair on Amazon last week for $65 and ran 10 miles at a 6:19km pace last night and feel totally fine today. I didn’t ever feel like I was pushing the shoes too hard either and towards the end ran at a 5:30km pace

I would tack onto this - based on the speeds you run I would consider the NB Fresh Foam X More V5. It’s literally softer than a cloud and I have run 10 miles in about 90 minutes in mine without a lick of soreness. Best part was I got these like 2 months ago for $65.

Do you prefer more or less drop? I’ll be honest, I like a good amount of drop but I don’t notice the lack of drop in the FFX MV5 at all, I think bc of how soft the foam is

I too am someone who loved the Invincible and started wearing More V5s, and I found them much more in line with the Invincible 2s in terms of comfort. I'm hoping these are more in line with the 2s and the More V5s.

Was actually considering these for myself for some recovery runs since I heard great things, but the 4mm drop keeps putting me off

+1 I love my more v5. But mind you they very specific shoes for recovery/easy runs only but dream shoes to run in when tired!

New Balance is typically the go-to for soft and wide. 1080v14, More v5 on the plusher side, Rebel v4 on the lighter/firmer side (still fairly soft imo). If you can get away with a 2E you could also look at the ASICS Novablast 5.

I'm always surprised that new balance fresh foam more v5 is not mentioned more in this sub. Pretty decent shoe, high stack, stable enough, comfy, not too wide, not too slim, great foam.

This is a good approach. I'm on the low end of the distance with something like 2 runs of 10k per week and sometimes a 15k. I feel like one super cushioned daily shoe that I can use for my recovery/easy runs (NB Fresh Foam v5), one slightly less cushioned shoe (Puma Velocity Nitro 3) that can be used as an daily trainer and all purposes (still haven't given them a try out of the box tho but this is the idea) and a super light speedy shoe (Brooks Hyperion GTS). For the low km's the I do I can absolutely go with 2 shoes only and never use a speed shoe.
