FAQs
What is Fresh Foam X?
Fresh Foam X is New Balance's advanced cushioning technology, offering a plush and soft feel with enhanced energy return for a comfortable ride.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the engineered mesh offers some flexibility, these trainers are designed for a standard fit. It is recommended to check for available wide (2E) or extra-wide (4E) options if needed, though this specific product variant is UK size 12.5 standard width.
How do I know if I have a neutral foot strike?
A neutral foot strike typically involves your foot landing on the outside of the heel and rolling inward slightly to absorb shock. If you're unsure, consulting a running specialist or observing wear patterns on old shoes can help.
What is the difference between More v6 and other New Balance running shoes?

Can these shoes be used for walking?
Yes, the exceptional cushioning and comfort make them suitable for walking, especially for long periods or for individuals seeking extra support and shock absorption.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use for running, the Fresh Foam X More v6 trainers can typically last between 300-500 miles. Lifespan depends on running surface, gait, and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Experiment with different lacing techniques to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
Discomfort after a run
Ensure the correct size is being used. If the issue persists, consider the type of run; these shoes are optimized for comfort over responsiveness. Break-in period might be needed for some users.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces can vary. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal contact.
