FAQs
What type of running are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best for road running, daily training, long runs, and recovery runs, thanks to their maximum cushioning and stable feel.
What does Fresh Foam X mean?
Fresh Foam X is New Balance's most cushioned and softest foam technology, engineered to deliver an incredibly plush and comfortable underfoot experience with responsive energy return.
What is the stack height and drop of these shoes?
The New Balance Fresh Foam X More v5 features a 44mm stack height and a 4mm drop, providing significant cushioning while maintaining a relatively low heel-to-toe differential.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear, not just running?
Yes, with their incredibly plush cushioning and stable feel, the Fresh Foam X More v5 are designed for all-day wearability and comfort, making them suitable for daily activities beyond running.
How do I ensure the best fit with the adjustable lace closure?
Utilize the adjustable lace closure to customize the fit. Start by lacing loosely and then progressively tighten until you achieve a secure, comfortable fit without any pressure points or excessive tightness.
How much do these shoes weigh?
The New Balance Fresh Foam X More v5 weighs 244g, offering a lightweight feel despite its maximum cushioning.
What does 'neutral ride' mean for running shoes?
A 'neutral ride' means the shoes are designed for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) during their stride. They offer balanced cushioning without added stability features to correct pronation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace closure system. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find one that best suits your foot shape and provides optimal comfort without being restrictive. Ensure your foot is centered in the shoe.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Check your sock choice; moisture-wicking athletic socks are recommended. Ensure your lacing isn't too tight in specific areas. Break-in period might be needed for the upper to conform to your foot.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
All running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've reached this mileage, the Fresh Foam X midsole may be compressed. Consider replacing your shoes for optimal cushioning and support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Utilize the adjustable lace closure to achieve a secure and personalized fit. Start with a looser fit and gradually tighten to find the optimal snugness without causing pressure points.
- Sock Choice: Pair with appropriate running socks to enhance comfort and prevent blisters, especially on longer runs.
Compatibility
- Running Type: Best suited for road running. While they can handle light gravel paths, their design is optimized for paved surfaces.
- Foot Type: Designed for a neutral ride, meaning they are best for runners who do not overpronate or supinate significantly.
- Usage: Excellent for daily training, long-distance running, and recovery runs where maximum cushioning and comfort are priorities.
Care
- Cleaning: To maintain your Fresh Foam X More v5 shoes, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cool water and a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub soiled areas. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can warp materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity.
