Fresh Foam X More v5

I doubt anybody else will say this but you’ll just have to trust me: Brooks Defyance Max. I had both the More v4 and the Defyance Max and they were extremely comparable except the Defyance had better durability and was more affordable 

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.

I can definitely recommend New Balance v5 More. And as others says - weight loss starts with diet. I run for 2 years now - like 700 miles a year. In this time I've gained 15 lbs.

* Easy/Recovery: Hoka Skyflow (52 mi) - Honestly, not my favorite shoe, but I bought them so I'll keep using them. It's probably back to my trusty Rincons after these are done. * Speed: Hoka Mach X (224 mi) - Still one of my favorites, especially for tempo runs. * Speed: Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 (225 mi) - The original speed was one of the first shoes I fell in love with, and this shoe has different mechanics from the Mach X. * Long/Race: New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 (190 mi/19mi) - I have two pairs. One that I've done all of my long marathon training runs in, and the new pair that I'm using for Philly this weekend and then Love Run in March. I wanted something wider and cushioned enough for longer runs, and while these aren't the fastest supershoes I've ever used, they're certainly reliable enough for 26.2. Ideally I'll replace them with the Cielo X1 3 when they're released. * Race: Hoka Rocket X 2 (146 mi) - I think these have one more race in them and then they'll be relegated to training. I adore this shoe and have to decide if I grab another pair or go with the 3 when I replace them. Also in my closet but not currently in use: * Brooks Ghost 15 (136 mi) - These feel like having a 2x4 strapped to your foot. They really ruined the shoe with this model and it's made me hesitant to try Brooks again. * Hoka Clifton 9 (153 mi) - I like the Clifton, they're just not ones I reach for on a regular basis. * Hoka Mach 5 (153 mi) - I bought these because of the hype around them, which I ended up not agreeing with. They're "fine" enough. * Hoka Skyward X (113 mi) - I've tried on and off to use these, but they make my peroneal tendonitis flare up. * New Balance More v4 (155 mi) - Another shoe that was overhyped for me. They never felt as "plush" as others talked about. * Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 (65 mi) - I bought these to use for my half marathon last year because of how much I loved the previous version. I strongly dislike this as a half/full marathon shoe because of the firmness, and it's not comfortable over 9 miles, to the point where I ended up using my almost-dead 3s for the race. They don't have a place in my rotation because the Rocket is a more aggressive shoe over the 5K/10K distance. I may end up using them for speed work when my current speed shoes are done.

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
