New Balance Fresh Foam More v4 After 100 Miles

[@BenParkes]

Got a pair arriving next week! Excited to test them. Great video Mike, cool edit on that intro!

[@kofuzi]

can't wait to see what you think of them.

[@josegavaldagarcia]

Heavy runner here. I started running from zero with these shoes, probably stomping too hard and doing all the bad technique anyone can do. These shoes were what I needed to start running because I feared I'd hurt my feet, especially at my heaviest, so the cushioning was welcome. These shoes however lasted me only 250 km before the foam gave up on me. At km 100 the foam was collapsing on the front outside area (probably due to weak ankles when I started) and I could see marks of the asphalt tearing the side from how much it was collapsing. I'm glad to have them when I had just just started running, but if you're heavy, keep in mind they might not last you that much.

[@jaysingh05]

Finally ordered my first non-asics shoe in a long time - more v 4 coming in, in a few days; excited to try them on for my recovery runs! I've been in asics (cumulus & nimbus) for quite a while. I do recall owning a pair of NB's a few years back and that the brand had served me well then, though I can't recall which specific model it was. But what I do know is that your shoe reviews are THE best on youtube! I ordered the Novablast 3's recently based off of them and man - they indeed already are my favorite asics shoe and my go to daily trainers! So I'm guessing this (more v 4) will be another hit!

[@dimitarmarinov3584]

I do 90% of my training in the More v3 and they are now a little over 1300 km, yet still quite runnable. I think it’s possible to get them to 1000 miles, but bday is in a few weeks and I am totally buying the More v4.

[@Amtcboy]

Go get one. 👍👍👍

[@movdqa]

I'm inclined to stick with the v3 because of the cost savings.

[@fabsterun]

You will love them. V3 was good V4 is good more 😁

[@movdqa]

@@fabsterun I have a pair - just haven't used them yet. I'm running in the 1080v12 which itself feels like a Max Cushioned shoe. Both of these could be recovery shoes. I was going to look at the 880v12 to get some energy return. I'd love to try the supershoes but they don't come in 4E.

[@fabsterun]

@@movdqa awesome. Yeah I got a pair aswell more v4 and 3 . They very different shoes for me actually. Personally I did not like the 1080v12 this year. Foam and upper felt not matching for my feet. Morev4 foam is really stuff made from dreams

[@christiandm1041]

Spot on analysis! NB is really doing some exciting things these days. I have ran in a number of super cushioned shoes and these might be the best. Once again, great job sir. 😎🤙

[@fynthemtns]

I love my v3s and was trying on the v4s at work (Fleet Feet) and the new Fresh Foam X feels AMAZING, definitely a great update to an already awesome shoe. Love to see the durability!

[@pranayama-running-Jendrik]

Bra I think NB nailed it absolutely with the More V4 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I‘m running in the More V3 since last year and collected 300 miles in these. And I’m amazed how squishy they after that much of running 🤩 I think I will take it to 500 or 600 miles before I take my eyes on the More V4 😍😍😍

[@emert7403]

Love more V4, just bought last month and exactly agree on your review.. Thanks Kofuzi

[@kofuzi]

such a good shoe. glad to hear you're enjoying it!

[@alexkhan2000]

Well, I decided to give More V4 another try after returning it after the first try and now it'll join my rotation. I didn't care for the 1080v12 and it's become a good walking shoe for me. So, I was skeptical of the Fresh Foam X and perhaps I was colored by the experience I had with the 1080v12 for running. I decided to give More V4 another try in the new NYC Marathon Edition version as I'm a sucker for all-white colorways and I have to say that it really is the ultimate "easy/recovery" shoe, even more so than the Invincible Run 2 and the SC Trainer which I really enjoy. The thing about the Invincible Run 2 and the SC Trainer is that they both have very good energy return and have some propulsion to drive you forward to pick up the pace. The More V4 doesn't have that and, to me, that "character", feel, and ride makes it even better for the slow/easy/recovery runs. It kind of forces you to run slow and at an easy pace - like around 9:00/mile or even slower. I dare to say that the More V4 is more a "jogging" shoe than a "running" shoe. Haha. It's big and bulky but is not as heavy as it looks. It doesn't have much of an energy return with each foot strike as you get from the Invincible Run (1 or 2) or the SC Trainer but that's what makes it the "ultimate" easy/recovery shoe. It makes you want to run slow and take it easy. You forget about the metrics like pace, speed, HR, distance, and whatever else and you just enjoy a nice-and-easy slow run. It's very stable and smooth at a slow pace and makes you stay at it. It does not make you want to go faster like the Invincible Run and/or the SC Trainer. I like it and it's a keeper. It's way better than the 1080v12 or the Clifton 8. To me, they are two shoes that I tried very hard to like but just couldn't. In a word, they were both just BORING. I don't feel that with the More V4. It has a very clear purpose and reason for its existence and usage. There's really nothing like the Invincible Run (1 or 2) for soft squishiness and bounce and the SC Trainer has got its own thing going with the massive FuelCell midsole stack and plated Energy Arc but the More V4 has something of its very own. You have to give kudos to any shoe that has it.

[@harmony-one741]

thanks for this write up. I was trying to decide between, 1080 v12 and More v4. I have had 1080v11. I'm pretty lean at 140 lbs. How about you? Does it matter? I heard heavy folks benefit more from More v4.

[@alexkhan2000]

@@harmony-one741 I'm 5-7 and 127lbs, so I'm quite lean myself. I still use the More v4 on a regular basis for easy/recovery runs and it's great. It's not as soft and squishy as it'd probably be for heavier folks and I like that. It's very protective and there isn't any ground feel at all, but still responsive enough. The 1080 v13 is actually softer and squishier than the More v4. I really like the 1080 v13 as well, but the More v4 is preferable on days I want (or need) to go slow and easy for recovery.

[@kenklee4]

@@alfredpiguing6625 I loved my 1040 v12 at first but I’m a heavier runner so I felt like the mid foot cushion wore out pretty quickly while running. It’s still so comfortable but I only use it for walking now as it’s lost its energy return for me.

I just got the more v4s and I love them, everyone was trying to sell me Hoka Bondi 8 and I'm like NO!!!! been there tired of that. These are so incredible like really walking on soft pillows I like the so much I heard a reviewer say that thew new fuel cell Super comp Trainer was even better so I went ahead and ordered me a pair of those too they will be here tomorrow at 1 -5 central us time and ill post here again if they are as good as they are. So far the more v4s are definitely a dream to my feet after having 3 surgery's on my right foot I thought Id never find a good shoe again !!! but I did!!!!

[@Stentordoc]

I bought the NYC version while I was out there for the race. Can’t wait to try them out!

[@marvlo27]

I've done my long runs and did NYC in the v3. I wear tested the v4 at a shakeout run and thought it felt a lot different. The platform was wider than the v3 yet the upper felt stiffer and narrower. I would have a hard time putting my orthotics in the v4. Overall, it felt stiffer and I didn't like the feel of the collar and tongue. While the v3 is less breathable, it felt broken in out of the box whereas the v4 felt stiffer. I may have to stock up on the v3.

[@tsubakichan]

I feel like the new sub-genre should be called "Overstack Shoes" since they exceed WA regulations.

Yeah max cushion is enough. First of all, no one is setting PRs in this and also there’s only 35 mm, isn’t 40 the limit? This is hardly max cushion. Maybe you’re thinking about the sc trainer?

None of us are ever setting any records so who cares if they exceed WA regulations? Max cushion seems like an appropriate enough designation

As always, I appreciate the review! This shoe is at the top of my list to replace an old pair of Asics Novablast 1 for easy day efforts - Don't worry, I have another pair of NB1, a pair of NB3, and the Triumph 20 🙂. Over 90% of my runs seem to be easy pace these days so I can never have enough higher stack, higher cushioning shoes.

[@guilhermeprado7851]

Lol I bought the Endorphin Speed 2. Now I'm looking for a pair to complement it. Really liking the More V4!

[@northernkicks]

Great review as always but was hoping you can do 200 mile reviews as I find them to be more valuable considering most people aren’t changing out shoes after 100 miles. For a max cushion shoe being aimed for long runs, they will rack up miles quickly and who wants a shoe to lose its feel just after 200 miles? I know the More v3 lost it’s cushion feel for me after around 200 miles…and I’m not heavy. I think a decent shoe should last at least up to 300 miles…considering todays technology.

The thing is with these shoes and 1080 v 10. 11 and 12 is that the heavier you are the less affective they are . Me at 13½ stone , so can't get long runs in comfort, I'd say ok up to around 8 or so miles , after that the ground starts to spank your feet . Don't get me wrong I love these shoes and new balance, both my 1080v11 ( 2 pairs ) ran to 650 miles 👍

How does the upper on the More v4 compare to the super flexible/comfortable upper in the 1080v12? I chose the 1080v12 over the More v3 mainly because of the upper. Thanks!

I've been loyal to Hoka for the past five years, (Clifton and Mach iterations), but am going to try this shoe out as I am now doing longer runs at low heart rate, and to be honest, my feet ache on longer runs in Hokas. Also, looking for more durability, a fault with Hoka, IMO. So long as the More v4 doesn't irritate my achilles, it should be good.

[@kofuzi]

No

[@antoniustaufan7712]

Thanks for the review. How would you rate this against the SC Comp trainer? If I were to buy only one, which one would you recommend?

[@freihat]

I have both... My recommendation is More v4 all the way. Although the more v4 is designed to be a recovery shoe and SC trainer as a daily trainer, I use them for their opposite use case. More V4 is a great daily trainer for me because it has a good amount of bouncing and in the same time plush enough to protect your joints. The SC trainer gives you a good energy return when you run very slowly and it feels like the shoe runs by itself. But when you pick up the speed it starts to put more pressure on the joints and it makes it harder to recover. So for me I'd pick more v4 as a daily trainer. SC trainer is good only for recovery days.

[@kuriosites]

@@freihat Interesting perspective about the SC Trainer. I"ve been a bit hesitant about that one. Doctors of Running also discussed that shoe possibly shifting the stress from the ankles to the hips.

[@Mountaindwell4]

I love these shoes but at 98 miles, I have WAY more wear than you. Im 5’8 and weigh 175 pounds. Should I be replacing my shoes sooner? They definitely don’t feel as good already… bummer

[@kofuzi]

everyone's mileage will vary. things like the terrain you run on, the temperatures, how frequently you use the shoe, the number of hours a given milestone of miles will take, and whether you use the shoe for uses other than running - those can all effect how long a shoe lasts. some people are hard on their shoes (it's not anyone's fault, it's just how they run). and some people get a literal thousand miles out of their shoe. shoes do wear down over time, and a well loved shoe will feel different than a brand new one. but there is a difference between a used shoe and an end-of-life shoe. but your body will usually tell you when you hit that drop off from a used shoe to an end-of-life shoe

[@alexkhan2000]

I tried the More v4 and I think it's a good shoe for the easy/recovery category but I have the Invincible Run, GlideRide 3, and the SC Trainer for the long easy miles and I decided that I like those more. I also have the Clifton 8 and 1080v12 but now use them more for casual walking than running. So, I really didn't see the More v4 fitting into my rotation. I recently got the Prime X Strung and it's the bounciest and most fun shoe out of all the shoes I've tried this year. And I have the Novablast 3, Speed 3, Mach 5, and Deviate Nitro 2 for daily training so I looked at the More v4 and just couldn't find a place for it to fit in. At some point, you reach a limit (unless you are a reviewer who gets shoes sent to you from the manufacturers) of how many shoes you can have in your rotation and actually use all of them on a regular basis. I run 70~80 miles per week with around a quarter of them on the trails. Have 10 trail shoes in the rotation as well. I feel like I'm maxed out now. It's time for me to stop reading/watching shoe reviews and run even more!

[@kofuzi]

Prime X is a great example of that super stack category shoe

[@alexkhan2000]

@@kofuzi Yes, the Prime X is in a category of its own - somewhere in between racing shoes and daily trainer with some aspects of max-cushioned easy/recovery shoes that protect your legs and joints during long runs. The SC Trainer, to me, sits somewhere between daily trainer and easy/recovery and I suspect the Superblast has its own qualities that set it apart from the Prime X and SC Trainer. Have you tried the Prime X Strung yet? I haven't tried the og Prime X but almost everyone who has tried both say the Strung's new upper makes it much better with greater comfort. Would love to see a separate review from you about the Strung version.

That’s quite a rotation. Would be interested in your thoughts on how the Glideride 3 compare to the Supercomp Pacer and how the Novablast 3 compares to the Mach 5.

[@alexkhan2000]

​@@mtmatt6111 Yeah, I feel like I'm kinda maxed out now. Haha. I haven't tried the SC Pacer but I do have the SC Trainer and the Rebel v3. I'd imagine the Pacer is somewhere in between the two. The GlideRide 3 is really great for long distance runs with max cushioning but it isn't squishy and a bit on the firm and snappy side compared to the SC Trainer. The ride can best be described as smooth and steady compared to the somewhat soft and bouncy character of the FuelCell foam in the NB shoes. The Novablast 3 and Mach 5 are similar but quite different as well. Both are on the bouncy side but the Mach 5 feels a little faster, smoother and more natural to me. But the bounciness of the Novablast 3 makes it more fun, IMO. The Novablast 3 is better for easy long runs although you can still pick up the pace in it. The Mach 5 is about a full ounce lighter and also narrower so it's better for speed/tempo kind of runs. The Novablast 3 is light but the midsole is pretty bulky and wide so you feel that bulkiness through your gait cycles and seems to drag when trying to go fast.

Still not released in the UK, infuriatingly, so went for the Bondi 8. Markedly different experience and I miss the More 3 they replaced. I only got 350 miles from the 3's but suspect the Bondi will bomb on way past that do swings and roundabouts I guess

[@jatindersinghwinnipegcanada]

I have a job that requires me to stand for long hours and move a lot. I have been thinking about these for several days now. I want to get these over 1080v12 because of more cushion. Pls advise!!

[@kofuzi]

This is more comfortable but has a more aggressive rocker, which is great for running but might be awkward for what you’re doing. The 1080 is a bit more stable and nimble. My advise is to try them both on and decide

[@jatindersinghwinnipegcanada]

@@kofuzi when you say more aggressive rocker, what do you mean? The reason I was leaning towards these is max cushion. Here I had no way if trying more v4 as stores don't carry and buying from website is the only option. But don't want to buy an expensive pair without trying. I tried 1080 and they were very comfortable.

I dont know what to take, Hoka bondi 8 or those one, any advice ? I’m a beginner in running but I walk a lot

I have a strong preference for the More, but if waking is a big part of how you’ll be using them, I’d recommend going to a running store to try them yourself. They’re very different

4:15 where'd you get that face mask?

[@starknightcronos]

do you recommend this for long walks like 10.000+ steps?

[@kofuzi]

If it’s constant walking yes. But if it’s spread out over the course of a day with a lot of standing around, maybe not. It has an aggressive rocker up front that can make it awkward for me when not in motion

[@starknightcronos]

@@kofuziow yea good point! then i will be looking for a less aggressive rocker. I plan to use it for japan travel so there will defintely be a mix between standing and long walks.

do you think its a proper shoe for HM?

[@RodrigoLupatini]

a curiosity: on easy days, like this 10 mile, do you do any different hydration? do you use gel? Or tie your shoelace and go?

[@kofuzi]

Depends a lot on the weather. But if it’s mild temps, I usually won’t bring anything. 8-10 miles is a pretty standard everyday distance for me when I’m in a marathon block

How does it compare with Nike Invincible ZoomX?

most people consider the Invincible and the More in the same category. I do not.

Im confused is this the same arishi v4 sold on their site, why does it look so much taller here. On their site it’s selling for 59?!

This is not the Arishi. Please note the name of the shoe in the title and description and also in the entire script of the video. Different shoes

Is this foam more or less soft than ZoomX? Or about the same? So far I have yet to find a shoe softer than the invincible run, is this it?

[@kofuzi]

A1. more A2. no. they're different A3. yes. but you will probably want to try them on at the store first. people who love the invincible tend to love it for reasons other than it being soft, even if that is their stated reason for preferring it.
