FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Fresh Foam X Evoz v4 offers excellent cushioning for daily runs and training. While comfortable for long distances, they are primarily designed for everyday versatility rather than the specialized needs of competitive marathon racing.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness around the forefoot.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a mild soap and damp cloth is the best method to clean them and preserve the materials.
What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam X midsole?
The Fresh Foam X midsole provides an exceptionally soft and cushioned experience, designed to offer maximum comfort and a responsive feel during your runs.
How often should I replace my trainers?
Typically, running shoes like the Evoz v4 should be replaced every 300-500 miles, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a decrease in midsole cushioning and support.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The gusseted tongue offers a custom-like fit, which may work for some with wider feet. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's always best to try them on or check for specific wide-fit versions if available.
What is the main difference compared to previous Evoz models?
The Fresh Foam X Evoz v4 features an even more responsive midsole compared to its predecessors, enhancing the cushioning and comfort for daily workouts.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose. Check if the shoe size is appropriate. The gusseted tongue may require a few wears to fully conform to your foot.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed for durability, but significant wear may reduce its effectiveness. Consider replacing the shoes after extensive mileage, typically between 300-500 miles.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, grip can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and consider alternative footwear for extremely wet conditions.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- May not be suitable for elite racing due to focus on comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The lacing system with flat laces allows for easy adjustment to achieve a personalized fit; tighten them to secure the foot, ensuring they are snug but not constricting.
Compatibility: The New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz v4 is designed primarily for road running and general training. They are compatible with various running surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, and light treadmills. For trail running, they offer basic grip but may not be suitable for highly technical terrain.
Care: To maintain your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap and water solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by a clean damp cloth to rinse. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
