Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4

I've owned over 20 pairs of NBs and I wanted these to work, I needed new red shoes for coaching and thought these were it. Just too pink for me. They are nice shoes, just not for me.

Keep rolling my ankle

I've had good luck with the NB shoes and having a wide foot I always get the wide. I'm a 6X Ironman and run a lot. Unfortunately the wide was too wide this time and it caused blisters from sliding around on my right foot after 2.5 miles. I think it's a good shoe, but I purchased the wrong width.

I bought this shoe because I wanted the most comfort I could get when I go out walking/running. Unfortunately, because of the 4 mm drop, it brought back my Achilles tendinitis.just like I got when I tried zero drop shoes. If you can wear these shoes, great, but I've got to have a higher drop shoe or my Achilles screams, and I can't work out at all.

The midsole is truly exceptional, the little drop and the softness in the heel allow you to run at a slow pace, but if you accelerate you move to the forefoot and if you don't do it by nature they can be tiring instead of restful. Moreover, by raising the pace, you feel how bulky the shoe is. Only one star because the upper is terrible. First of all it is warm and not very breathable Stiff in some points, there are friction points that create blisters on the inside forward lateral part of the foot, the tongue is too short and fragile, the lace lock broke on the second run. Such a pity with a midsole with such fantastic foam.

I really wanted to like these, but the "N" stitching came up too high and rubbed against the right side of my foot (just under my pinky toe). Will be returning for a different style.

Felt off balance due to this. Even tried supplementing with a different insole and still felt the same.

Purchased a pair of "black" running shoes and was sorely disappointed that when they arrived they weren't anywhere close to black, which is the simplest thing not to mislabel.

They sent me a More with a dented toe-box and what appears to be the grey upper mismatched with the black and white foam that was suppose to go on the black/white version. I can't return these for another pair because they're sold out of the X-WIDE in size 11.5-12 in every color. I also don't have a car or a printer and the nearest library is miles away. Needless to say they're still comfortable especially compared to my 7+ year old falling apart lunar glide 7's in custom wide. They're still comfy EXCEPT for the dent in the toe-box that rubs against my toe irritating it. I have ingrown toenails, bunions, osteoporosis, peripheral neuropathy, arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, even gout. Yes I won the autoimmune lottery when I contracted untreated childhood Lyme all those years ago. I remember crawling on the ground in pain, dragging my feet, I couldn't walk. They thought I was just playing, ahah jokes on them,wait, jokes on me?

Purchase the last X-Wide in size 11.5. Left toe-box has defect dent. These X-Wide are barely wide enough as is. Customer 'support' refuses to provide compensation. There is no way to exchange for another they are sold out of X-Wide in size 11.5-12 in all colors now. I took the last one in 'black' which is more of a grey. I ingrown toenails twice removed this year, bunions, peripheral neuropathy, arthritis, I've been using old lunar glide 7s for 7+ years they're finally falling apart. I can't let these go until I find a replacement!

After wearing these 3 times for a total of 7 miles, I experienced severe foot pain. Extremely uncomfortable from heel to toe. I always wear New Balance shoes as I need 4E width and have had great results. These shoes just don't cut it and are unlike any New Balance shoes I've had in the past.

These shoes are a dismal failure. My feet ache worse than ever. You have obviously changed the composition again. I will never purchase a NB product again.

I loved the x More v3 but the More v4 is way too narrow and the arch has changed! Hope v5 is more like v3. If you're used to the wider toe box of the v3 the v4 is not for you!

The FF More v3 was my favorite shoe of all time. I was excited for the More v4, but after one run, they had worn through my arch. Had high hopes, had to send them back. Here's hoping the v5 is more like the v3!

Used for 15 miles. Then a foot tendon was sore. Switched back to the older NB, soreness went away. Draw your own conclusions but the show did not work for me. Never had a problem with NB ever.
