Women's New Balance Fresh Foam More v3

The more foam concept is amazing, however, i am not sure if it is the new shape (compared to the 1080 fresh foam im used to), but these shoes gave me severe leg cramps from switching “shapes” in the shoe. The only reason i had to try something new was because of the new 1080 design that now makes my baby toe rub, but never had that issue prior to version 12. I have had this new balance shoe for years and years so i am highly disappointed. I am returning these shoes today (within return policy), and after giving the new shoes a fair chance (used walking through the airport), and i found the old version online so purchased 3 pairs so i am not stuck without a shoe that works for awhile. I will try again in about a year when i work my way through these 3 new pairs of shoes coming (version 11 of the 1080 was great!) Goodluck — maybe worth a shot but new balance really changed so much it’s not comfortable. Too narrow/the heel tight again and more fitted — not a fan at all of the new version 12 and these more foams are not working either :(

My physical therapist recommended the Fresh Foam v3 because of the rolling action of the shoe sole. The action allows the foot to roll forward, pushing off with the ball & toes with each step. My previous shoes were putting immense pressure on the balls of my feet. I’m extremely happy and noticed that I walk faster and for longer distances, with no foot pain. In the past months, I’ve purchased 3 pairs - my go to shoes for daily walking and everyday activities.

I feel virtually nothing after a 10 hour day on my feet. I usually do 24k steps a day. And this shoe meets all my expectations. It feels better than the Hoka Clifton 7s. Great recovery to my feet. And has eased my Planters Facitous. Definitely worth the money.

I’ve been coming to Fleet Feet for years and am always happy with the service, products and the expertise of the staff.

It took a little bit to break them in. The tongue is stiff and I would prefer it be shorter because it rubs on my ankle and front part of my foot. The heal is tall in the back and rubs on the back of my foot and is also stiff. It would be nice if there was more of a give to them and softness to the tongue and heal. The shoe does have a lot of cushion and I can walk in them for a long time and my feet don't hurt like they would in my other shoes that I walk in. They are pricey. They do run true to size. I normally wear a size 11 and I ordered a 10.5 and 11 because I didn't know. At first I thought the 10.5 was the right size, but after trying them both on, I decided to go with the size 11. Overall I'm glad I purchased these shoes.
