Add an insole to raise your foot up-plenty of volume to do that. I have buniions and do it in all my running shoes.

[@jeffhicks8428]

sidewalls are the best thing about this shoe. makes it crazy stable along with the flared misole. Sounds like you got the wrong size. Could be too small or large, narrow or wide, I have no way to know, but either one can cause blisters.

The toebox of the V4 was much worse then V3 and the upper was warmer and felt cheaper. I doubt this versions toebox is wider then the V4 which is unfortunate. Also hopefully no quality control issues with the dreaded dimple in the toexbox that some people had including myself on the V4. I do like the ride of the V4 a bit better then the V3 but man the toebox and upper were a major disappointment. Don't make toeboxes that squish my toes on a easy day shoe!

[@hufemeve]

I wished the new V5 had less weight, because the V4 works nicely despite the 10.9 oz

[@pressrepeat2000]

“How high do you want your stack?” “Yes.”

[@Kuvvvqingqunnn]

To the heavens

[@jeffhicks8428]

It's not even that high. Did you not listen? Ofc not. It looks high because it cups around the footbed. The stack on the More V4 is like 33 mm. A nimbus is more like 40. Tons of shoes have taller stack. It's actually a very clever design the way the midsole wraps around on this shoe, between that and the way it gets even wider at the bottom, it's extremely stable.

[@michaelcaricoo]

I got to try this on a few months back, it felt nice underfoot, better than the V4. Dunno about the weight though, that seems excessive

[@kelany10]

New Balance should reinforce the durability of their shoes. The rubber under foot will crack after few runns. It is unacceptable to spend a lot of money for shoes that could only run a few miles.

@@pressrepeat2000very good!

[@q20a08]

@@pressrepeat2000 That might depend on who you are.. As the rep admitted, the very soft cushioning can be "squirrely" for some of us. The firmer v3 had excellent stability for me, but the softer gap heel on the v4 caused me problems (mainly achilles). Under me, v4 was very unfortunate soft-squish overkill. Admittedly, that's great for some people, but the rep is making the appropriate noises for my ears. No reason v4 lovers can't stock up now, while they are cheap.

[@chrismehmel5930]

Has anyone confirmed the reported 4mm drop? It looks steeper than that…. I want a pair, but I need a low drop.

[@dextersuarez9948]

V4 was terrible, returned it after 2 runs. Not sure what the point of the “More” line is when you have the 1080 V13 which is considerably the best recovery easy run shoe on the market. Especially with the Balos coming out at the end of the year as the new max stack super trainer without a plate. If I were a product developer id cut this line.

[@maracas23]

1080 isn't max enough and easy recovery enough for some ppls mate. simple

[@dextersuarez9948]

@@maracas23 that’s where other brands “max stack, easy day recovery shoes” are superior. Side walls on the more will blister anyone, it has no bounce you just sink in it, my point is its not a good shoe.

I beg the opposite. Been using the V4 as my easy day shoe now, great for slow pace easy run. Can use the words "melts and disappears on foot" to describe. Did take about 50 miles to break in for me. I also have the SC trainer V1 for slightly faster long runs. The V5 look gigantic! Hopefully the new foam is more lively than the V4.

[@aliasgharkhoyee9501]

It's the high sidewalls, the actual stack height in this is middling for a max cushion shoe. It's mid-30s, nowhere close to 40-50mm that you see in a lot of other max cushion shoes.

[@jeffhicks8428]

I disagree. I have the v4 and it's a shoe that you always notice that you're wearing at all time. Not just because of the bulk but because of how bouncy and trampoline like it is. I never don't notice that I'm wearing. I have a Via Olympus 2 as well and that's a shoe you forget that you're wearing. Much less bulky than most maximal shoes and the midsole is just dialed in. It's just right, not too soft and mushy but not firm. Not dead but also not a trampoline. Literally don't even notice it.

[@aquastyle]

this one looks WAYYY BETTER, I saw V4 at Winners for $100 CAD it was a steal but boy the look of this one just went off the charts. I think I might wait for this one.....

[@jeffhicks8428]

I got one for $90 usd. 90 vs $155. How much better could it be? I only get the latest models if they are really worth it. I will say the upper looks much higher quality in the new version, that was an issue with the v4, the upper felt very cheap for a $150 msrp shoe.

[@Lovesports317]

Even though your talking about a different shoe, please pass this on to the New Balance reps. The 608 cross trainers 2017 and before were wonderful. I was a gym owner for 14 years. and wore them all the time. Also played racquetball and did wind sprints in them. SINCE 2017 the new Versions ( I bought some in 2023 after the last 8 pair wore out) are TERRIBLE with hard soles and thin inserts. My Plantar Faciitis that had been gone for 20 years came back in 3 days. I am now searching for new shoes. I would like to see New Balance go back to making them the way they did 2017 and before when made in Indonesia.

I don't like the big, max cushion running shoe. I prefer the NB ff beacon v3. But Like to Conor. Have a great day.

[@justintung7981]

I understand people actually run in these, though I don't really understand why. I'm just a shorter guy looking for my comfortable gentleman's high heels to walk around in. But they keep firming up the foam for the people that actually run in them. As long as it's taller than the v4, i'm gunna buy it though. I paid full MSRP for Adidas Prime X on release because it was one of the tallest shoes on the market, and they hurt my ankle just to walk in, but I do it anyways, cuz in this world a couple of inches makes a world of difference.

[@aliasgharkhoyee9501]

​@@justintung7981 In terms of max cushion running shoes, this is one of the lower stack height options (mid-30s mm), don't be misled by the sidewalls. As you mentioned, the Adidas Prime X is one of the many higher shoes with between 40 and 50mm stack heights.

[@davidbraswell1481]

same most of the new balance I wear are super trainers/racers, but I still wear them all casually!

[@jeffhicks8428]

@@justintung7981 Who keeps firming up the foam? The trend in the running shoe industry is foams are getting softer and softer. The 1080v13 was the most compliant midsole in any running shoe that's been made thus far. It's total mush. The More V4 was a not quite that soft, but also had a lot of resilience and bounce to it.

Get this when you wear out the v4

[@jeffhicks8428]

these companies need to quit the gimmicks and changing everything every few months. find something that actually works and stick with it. it's not an iphone, it doesn't need updates and redesigns every week. make something actually good, iterate to make it better every year for a few years, then when there is actually a real major change that's worth doing, change things. Anyone else sick and tired of spending hours to find something that actually works for you only for that shoe to not even exist the next time you need one? Yeah. It gets old. Running shoes have been gimmicky and scammy from day 1. Nothing has changed.

[@dogdogdoghorse]

From what some reviewers have said it’s actually quite a good shoe. There really isn’t a need to complain when there are sooo many options for every type of runner out there. Nobody’s forcing this down your throat. Just look at the difference between this and the pacer v2.

[@jeffhicks8428]

@@dogdogdoghorse I have the V4 and it is a really good shoe. Only two complaints. The upper is not on the level of other $150 shoes. feels cheap, but it works and the fit is excellent. Two, it's maybe the most bulky, clunky and boat like shoe I have ever seen. Aside from this the v4 was an excellent, very cushioned, very resilient and very stable shoe. It's a little bit more bouncy than I like, but that's fine. Looks like they fixed the upper on this new version, but I doubt this one is any less bulky. If I had to guess it got an even higher stack because every new model needs a higher stack in running world for some reason. They ruined the new 1080 though. The v12 was a near perfect shoe and the v13 is a mushy unstable mess

[@user-yn9zx1ug1c]

I think v4 outsole is better

[@walkingwiener3571]

so its the same foam as the 1080x v13 or is it going to be harder foam???

[@jeffhicks8428]

every model and every version is always using different formula of the foam. Literally. None of them are exactly the same. They might all be called fresh foam x, but they're all different. Some of them vastly so. The foam in the 1080 v13 is nothing like the v12, and nothing at all like the More v4.
