MEAGHAN: I’ll keep this short: The HOKA Clifton has been my ride-or-die for the last several years. The ride, the cushion, the comfort – it was all there for me in a daily trainer. That said, I may have a new spring fling in the More v3. Sam: Strange...I disagree with Jeff for a change. While a bit ponderous at easy paces when I get to my slower to moderate tempo paces (sub 9 minute miles down to higher 7’s), the shoe comes alive with lots of bounce to go with great forefoot stability. With a 4mm drop and the very broad platform getting a long flex early is vital to keep the shoe from being ponderous and here New Balance pulled it off very well and especially so at faster paces. The medial side stability (above) is achieved by the broad platform but also through the use of large convex shapes on the medial midsole sidewalls with the lateral (below) having large laser engraved concave ones for some give. Classic Fresh Foam geometry amplified here I found the combination highly effective. Ready for more good news? Never again will you have to choose between function and fashion. New Balance is proud to offer fresh, exciting styles that are as modern as they are timeless - created with an ideal balance of aesthetics and function in mind. How should running shoes fit? AUSTIN: Since the More 3 has a wider platform, my narrow foot felt a touch loose at times. However, this never led to any hot spots or blisters. Other than that, I’ve got no gripes.

The Fresh Foam More v3 showcases a honeycomb structure in its midsole, similar to the Asics Gel-Nimbus 25, delivering exceptional comfort to your feet. Whether you have a classic pronation or a neutral gait, these shoes adapt seamlessly to your running style. The result is a smooth and enjoyable stride that propels you forward with every step. Seize the Road This is a great shoe for anyone who is prioritizing comfort over everything else. The upper and the midsole provide all the comfort you’ll need on any long run or recovery run. If you’re a fan of maxed cushion and the weight doesn’t bother you, then I would even go as far as recommending this shoe for everyday runs. You can’t go wrong with this shoe. Wow, thank you, Fresh Foam X! This shoe has loads of this foam in the midsole, and it’s an incredible ride. Fresh Foam X is responsive and soft, and this shoe has just the right amount – it doesn’t feel squishy at all and is still pretty responsive.

However, there is no going over the board in the More Trail v3. Our precise measurements of the toebox revealed that this New Balance is only a few millimeters wider than the average trail running shoe. These numbers were not exactly customer friendly – but I have to admit that once you know the logic, it actually makes a lot of sense.

I have run in every version of the New Balance More, and have come to the conclusion that it may be my favorite line of running shoes available. I have loved each version for different reasons, and have yet to be disappointed by them. Another main change in this shoe is in the base and outsole. The base is a bit wider than it was in the v2. So, if you have wider feet, this new version will fit you better. The outsole also has less rubber, which helps with the flexibility of the shoe and overall ride.Ogston, J. K. (2019). Comparison of in-shoe plantar loading forces between minimalist and maximalist cushion running shoes. Footwear Science , 11 (1), 55-61. Also, due to the amount of cushion, the shoe is rather heavy. On a men’s size 9, they weigh in at 10.8oz, and my 13s weighed 13oz out of the box. It’s logical that this would be the case, but as shoes get lighter as a whole, and offering this heavy can stand out in a not-so-positive way. Again, this only was an issue when I became tired on my runs, but anyone going on long runs, or logging lots of miles in recovery will know, tired legs are bound to happen.
