New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 - Maximum Cushioning for Every Easy Mile

When the goal is comfort over pace, the Fresh Foam X More v6 is your answer. New Balance's most cushioned shoe puts a towering stack of Fresh Foam X underfoot, giving tired legs the protection and softness they need on recovery days, long runs, and everything in between. This is a shoe built around one simple idea: make running feel effortless.

The Most Cushioned Fresh Foam Experience New Balance Has Ever Made

The Fresh Foam X More v6 retains its towering stack height of 44mm in the heel and 40mm in the forefoot, with a 4mm heel drop that keeps the geometry natural underfoot. The same Fresh Foam X compound found in the premium 1080 is used here, delivering that characteristic blend of softness and bounce. Independent lab testing found the More v6 to have record-breaking forefoot cushioning, whilst energy return has improved to 60.1% in the heel and 58.8% in the forefoot compared to earlier versions — meaningful progress for a shoe in this category.

Stable, Smooth and Surprisingly Versatile

Despite the sky-high stack, the More v6 never feels unstable. High sidewalls encompass the foot and, combined with a broad base, create an ultra-smooth and supportive ride. An enhanced rocker profile helps with smooth heel-to-toe transitions, keeping the ride flowing naturally even at easy paces. The engineered mesh upper has a soft, almost plush feel against the foot, with reflective details added for low-light visibility. Rubber is placed strategically in high-wear areas of the outsole to maintain durability across long-mileage training blocks.
