New Balance More V5 Review - A True Max Cushion Shoe

[@davidbraswell1481]

got mine today and absolutely love mine!! best shoe in my huge collection.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@mediicice5862]

Is it better than the rebel v4 and the adidas adizero sl2

[@davidbraswell1481]

@@mediicice5862 I do love it way better than the Rebel but for me the Rebel wasn't very good (not enough padding for me) this more 5 is very very plush and comfy Its a shoe I wear all day everyday I don't run in this shoe because it is so cumfy it is my daily driver no more foot PAIN!!! this is an update I do not run in this anymore

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

@mediicice5862 I haven’t run in the sl2 but it’s a totally different show than the Rebel V4. This is for slow runs, the Rebel is for faster runs

[@HyperCS2]

Hey, My job requires to stand 8-9 hours a day and a bit of walking, I need a shoe for that and I am torn between Asics Gel Nimbus 26, New Balance 1080v13, Nike Invincible Run 3 and these New Balance More V5. Any suggestions??

[@pablo_cristian]

The video is really good. I wanted to know if I should get the v4 or wait for the v5. I think I'll go with the v4. Here in Brazil, people haven't tried the sneakers yet, so your video was incredible. Hugs from Brazil. You've earned a subscriber.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

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.

[@ABucc]

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.

[@davidbraswell1481]

I had the same reaction!! I came in after my 10 miles and I quickly ordered 2 more pair !!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Interesting, I’m not loving them as much as the v4s so far. I think it’s great for easy runs, but I don’t see myself getting faster mileage out of them like I did the v4s

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

I think they’re a little hot. It’s warm where I am, and it feels like there’s some friction on the inside of the shoes. Normally I don’t notice warm feet, but I can with these

[@ABucc]

@@FreshBrewRunClub these shoes aren't made for faster miles. If you want faster miles, pick up carbon plated racers.

[@andrewfeher224]

Many of the things you said about the v5 (e.g., it's warm and lacks energy return and versatility) summarizes my experience with the v4. It was just a clunker that didn't work for me.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Well, this one is even chunkier haha!

[@Charles-kc2vt]

Think I will pick this up. Yowana is also a big fan of this. Curious about the stack thought. Apparently it's still 34/30?

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Yeah, those are the listed specs. The sidewalls on the midsole come up around the foot quite a bit, so it’s not like the whole foot is sitting on top of all that foam. I will say, it feels like there’s more stack, but that could be the new Fresh FoamX

[@LuisRamos-qw1gj]

Heel stacks: More v3, 37,5mm More v4, 32,5mm More v5, ?. Those are the stacks! Not what new balance claims. You can check it, were they cut the shoe in half.

[@brandall101]

@@FreshBrewRunClub It's still unlisted afaik - it seems fleet feet is the only one who listed it and I'm pretty sure that's an error. There's no way this has significantly less stack than the 1080

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Totally agree

[@hum-dinger2453]

I wouldn't take anything yohomo says seriously .He states the 1080 v13 are awesome sneakers. They are terrible

[@runwithbritters]

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!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Yep, it feels a lot different than the v4. I need to get more miles in my v5s to see how they hold up over time, but they seem to be more of a specialty easy run shoe so far

[@일론무스기]

You are the true reviewer.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

I try

[@portermaberry5909]

A appreciate your review. I'm looking to purchase some comfortable shoes, to walk in at work.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

These are comfortable for running, but I know some people don’t think extremely cushioned shoes like these are going for being on foot all day. I’d prefer a little more firmness, but it’s definitely a matter of preference!

[@bobgibson1303]

Just ordered the More V5 excited to test it against the Brooks Ghost Max 2

[@ABucc]

@bobgibson1303 I have both, and the More V5 is way better than the Ghost Max (IMHO)

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

I want to try a couple of the new Brooks models. Curious to see how they feel

[@amirjon]

@@ABucc i am told the ghost max is an excellent walking/standing shoe. Which one do you prefer for just walking?

[@ABucc]

@amirjon I would pick the New Balance More V5 for both walking and running. Another great walking/jogging shoe that is super comfortable and overlooked is the Nike Motiva.

[@MigoDevin]

Love them so far

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Awesome!

[@isaiahturner7764]

Thanks so much for the review!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Thanks for watching!

[@jbbonomo_upd]

Pls comment on fit/sizing. I have my More v4 size 10.5 but have to size up to 11 on the 1080v13. Thank you!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

I got a 10 in the v4s and a 10 in the v5s. The v5 is a little more snug than the v4, but I don’t think I’d size up. Definitely not as tight as the 1080 v13. I do want to run some more mileage in these before I say anything definitive

[@jbbonomo_upd]

@@FreshBrewRunClub Thank you very much for your hello. Coming from a country where we can order newly intro shoes only via ONLINE (newer models/fewer colorways are available to us many months late).

[@jbbonomo_upd]

*help

[@damiang27]

@jbbonomo_upd I a, right there with you on sizing the v4 I was good with 10.5 and still had some room but with the 1080v13 I had to get an 11 which sometimes feels like too much room but they are way too tight in 10.5 for me

[@apollocreed3263]

Great. thoughts on the first run , subbed and look forward to seeing your reviews on other shoes

[@MisterRhul]

I like everything about the 1080 v13 except the instability. Do the More V5 better in this aspect keeping the good qualities of the 1080 v13?

[@makachoy]

Same question!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

It’s definitely more stable than the v13! All the foam and the width actually helps a lot. If you liked the v13, you’ll like this shoe for sure

[@jbbonomo_upd]

I too love the 1080v13 (half-size up), it's a near perfect shoes (looks, fit, ride, etc...) for me but the stability is the deal breaker for me.

[@dlabtek7house904]

Nice! More V5!🔥

[@thunderunbox33]

Could you please compare the fit of the NB Fresh More V5 with the NB 1080 V13? I wear a 2E width in the 1080 V13. Is the V5’s fit standard, or is it similarly narrow like the V13? Thank you.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

It’s not as tight as the 1080 v13, but still a little snug. I went true to size in both (size 10) and I don’t think I’d size up in the More V5s

[@thunderunbox33]

@@FreshBrewRunClub The 1080V13 model is too narrow. It seems that the More V5 model has a more normal fit. Thank you for your response.

[@dcamos78]

Big changes over V4. The V4 felt a little more smooth and a smidge more versatile like you said, but I thought the fit was a little sloppy. The fit of the V5 feels way more dialed in. I also feel a lot more bounce. It truly is a comfort cruiser.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

That’s a good point, the fit does seem better with the v5. I had to tie the laces pretty tight with the v4.

[@matthiassventoest6800]

could this be a sign of the shoe companies making running shoes even more specific. I only say this after seeing many reviews about the triumph 22, also not being as versatile. Still a good shoe, but it’s not as versatile as the triumph 20 and 21. Only time will tell.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Yep, it’s pretty clear the brands want runners to have a different shoe for every type of run.

[@goat8252]

I don’t think these are even out yet in Canada 🇨🇦

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

They came out July 1 in the US

[@4Bobay]

Beautiful town.

[@kjpeggx3]

Curious if you'd roll with the v5 or pick up another pair of the v4 on clearance ($40 difference).

[@davidg9120]

I have the v4 but sounds like the v5 is much softer. So v4 is fine but if you want softer style v4 for me was more firm. I use the v4 for treadmill runs mostly just getting in miles. Just my two cents but have not used the v5

[@johnholst]

​@@davidg9120 I agree. I only use the V4's for walking. To me, they feel cumbersome to run in. Not the same kind of soft feel you get from the 1080v13.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? I need to run more miles in the v5, but as it stands, I prefer the v4 because it was more versatile. And now that you can get it for under $100 USD, it’s what I’d do next. There’s a couple shoes coming out in the next month that I want to try (Superblast 2, Balos, and Pegasus Plus), but if I have need to grab something to put in a bunch of miles for my marathon training, I’d get the v4

[@WilltoImprove]

Sort of torn between this ,gel nimbus 26 and ghost max 2

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Yeah, I am very curious about the 1080 v14. The images I saw kind of made the v14 look like a true sucessor to the More V4. Or a More V5 lite? Photos can be deceiving though.

[@amirjon]

How would these be for long walks? Stable enough?

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Probably overkill with the amount of foam to be honest, unless you REALLY like walking in shoes with a lot of cushioning. I’d prefer something a bit firmer for walking

[@walkingwiener3571]

are they released in the USA? Didn't find anything on Europe NB Site. Just want to wear them daily and stick to my 1080 for running

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Yep, they came out the first of July in the US. If you like the 1080, but wanted even MORE foam, you’ll love these!

[@Nosci20]

I got the SC elite v4 at 41.5 but i feel a bit more space in the toe box im afraid to get the same size for the More v5 because its a more chunky shoe do you think i should go for size 40 for the more v5 or should i get the same as the SC elite v4? btw my true to size is 41 with all the Nike shoes.

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

The More V5 feels very slightly snug. Maybe a 41 would work. I got my same size as what I get in Nikes and they’re fine. I’d recommend trying them on if you’re able, although I know they can be hard to find in stores in many regions

[@GT-kx6hm]

How's it compare to the Nimbus25, 26? Thanks!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

I know I’m in the minority with this opinion, but I did not like the Nimbus 25. I thought it felt flat and it made my legs tired. The More V5 is wayyy softer and more enjoyable to run in to me

[@vegasteam7785]

Having a hard time finding Real info on fit. Is it true to size or size up 1/2? Please advise before I order the wrong size

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

It’s a snug true to size. Not enough where I’d recommend sizing up, unless you like a lot of room around your feet

[@HMolly69]

Is it good for wet roads? Hope its not slippery, bcoz the design on outsole look slippery

Fleet Feet is the only site with specs so far, and they’re claiming it’s a 4mm drop, 44mm stack height in the feel and a 40mm stack height in the forefoot. Now, I paid too much to saw my pair in half to confirm that 😂

Which is highest high stack more v5 or skyward x?????!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

More v5: 44mm Skyward x: 48mm

[@johnholst]

I guess everyone's preference is different, but I found the V4 a bit too "rubbery" for any kind of spped training. I just sunk into them. Personally, I LOVE my 1080v13's! Softest shoe I've ever owned. But for me, it's what I want for slow runs or recovery days. I'm hoping the V5 is like that...but more! :)

[@davidbraswell1481]

I didn't feel it was as squishy but more bounce or pop I use the 1080 v13 for more a recover do all shoe I put it on tonight after I did my 10 miles in my more v 5s the more v5 is amazing!!!

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

If you like the 1080 v13 and are ok with even more softness, you’ll LOVE these!

[@Devildog81]

Good for walking too?

[@FreshBrewRunClub]

Probably overkill for walking. I’d prefer something a little firmer, but it’s a matter of preference

Are they softer than V4?

I think so. The updated Fresh FoamX feels softer
