The shoes so far are amazing. Very comfortable. I believe the most comfortable I've wore. The sole structure provides an extremely stable platform for a sturdy foundation... even when encountering uneven surfaces.
More than sufficient traction on all surfaces I've encountered as of yet, even when wet. Two small cons over discovered so far: somewhat small opening and pull tab is rather difficult or awkward to grasp while putting on your shoe. More colors to choose from would be great as I was initially deterred from this shoe for this reason. Overall I'm more than satisfied with the purchase... given the construction and materials hold up.

I like the shoe but heel tab/collar design for me has been a bit problematic. This shoe as well as others I own all have a good fit but I believe in this shoes case the compression of the foam under my foot and heel tab/collar design is pulling and bunching my socks below its horizon. This lead to a nice set of blisters very quickly as the material used is not very smooth.
I want to love these shoes and the other aspects of their feel but once my blisters heal I'll try this with longer socks to see if I can continue to use them.

I usually do a combination hike/run on mixed dry trails. I had been using Salomons for years, but the Sense Ride 4 had a weird, long and narrow shape, and was giving me blisters, so I decided to give More Trail v2 a try. I mostly love them. I love the extra cushion, and the stability doesn't seem to be compromised, at least for me. The feel is very isolated, but that can be a plus on a rocky trail. I miss the lacing system of Salomon, wish these had it. The main issue I have with More Trail v2 is that it lets rocks in occasionally. Not a deal-killer for me. And it's pretty ugly, I wish NB would offer cleaner designs.

Heel counter is a bit tight for me but it may break in

Very comfortable and stable but found they run about a half size smaller than the Hierro v5's that I replaced. As a heavy person, I'd like to see full Vibram soles on this shoe like the Hierro V6 as I'm a little concerned these are going to degrade quickly on the non-Vibram sole area. I'd suggest the next generation of the shoe come in better color ways and a version with Gore-Tex would be very welcome.

Great shoe with a nice thick foam sole that gives a lot of support. Real fun to wear on the trails too! BUT, the lacing holes are very poor quality and started tearing away. So these get 3 stars as a result.

I've had 2 pair of the V1's and loved them, but really wish they'd bring back the 4E width for the V2! This is my favorite trail show, but 2E just doesn't cut it for my feet.

They're the most aggressively lugged true max cushion trail shoe I've found, but the upper is a drawback. The sewn fabric instead of lace eyelets makes for an inefficient lockdown and seems like it has the potential to rip after many tight pulls. Could use a bit more softness in the upper to match the max cushion sole, but the Toe Protect cap is a great touch. If you put the More V3 upper on the More Trail V2 sole it would truly be a game changer in rugged trail running comfort!

The product is gorgeous and seems durable. The problem is that the back heel it too high and stiffness of the heel and material used cause hot spots on the heel. A softer material like the last version works awesome. I have have v1 and they worked great. The quality is there but not the comfort.

I wear an 11/5 or 12 W in women's shoes. I purchased 10/5 W in men's and they were too tight. Cute shoe. Had to return.

Bought these shoes in March. First shoes in a long time that don't hurt so bad as I have very jacked up feet. Top eyelets on each shoe ripped. Very disappointed going to try and exchange them

I ordered these shoes around the 15th of April intending to use them as a semi-daily use shoe, for walking around campus as well as hiking, unfortunately, the shoe has not been as durable as I would have hoped, there is already a tear on the inner side of the shoe wall, around where my ankle rests in the shoe. The foam is also beginning to degrade and is losing its pretty coloring along the side of the heel. I ordered a Wide shoe in 13 and the shoe fits great and accepted my insoles well. But I really wish I wasn't seeing signs of degradation only a month into using it.

Coming from the Hierro, just looking for more cushion in forefoot. Wanted to like these. Gave them 3 weeks. Daily use shoe, hiking, work, play. Not impressed at $160+. Left shoe fits different than right, to the point where it's starting to hurt, no matter how tight or loose I tie it. Both tongues slip constantly. Tread is weird and would be a much more stable platform if vibram tread wasn't MISSING from so much of the center of the tread all the way back through the heel. Going back to the Hierro. Hopefully I can return these.

One light trail run and the bottoms pealed off. I almost broke my ankles. SMH. Look and feel great….but no “soul.” If the new models are better…send me a pair to replace the ones sent and I will give them a try.

Terrible sole. Trail Fail. Super disappointing. Only wore them once on a very light trail in Hawaii. The sole of the bottom right (toe/ ball of foot) ripped off at mile 5. Walking back barefoot was not fun or safe. Maybe the new models are better or come with a roll of duck tape ? Looked great, felt great, but only lasted 5 miles :(

I’ve bought MANY a pair of New Balance over the years and this pair may be the last. They are very uncomfortable and souls are unnecessarily loud. Don’t waste your money.

After just two months of intermittent use, these shoes are already starting to fall apart. The inside collar on both pairs has failed, exposing the upper material.

Reviews say this shoe is true to size. Ordered my normal 10W and could barely get my foot into it. Was short and narrow.
