Features
Let each step be cushioned and comfortable with New Balance’s Fresh Foam More v4.
New Balance packed in even more Fresh Foam to make this maximum cushioned shoe softer and more comfortable. It has the highest stack height of any New Balance Fresh Foam shoe, and it sports more energy return and cushion than previous More versions.
The rocker geometry helps you glide seamlessly through your stride, whether you are walking the dog or beginning to run. With a wider platform and data driven outsole placement, the More has better shock absorption to provide smooth transitions as you run or walk. Testers loved the new version for how the new geometry of the shoe made their feet feel immersed in the cushioning in our New Balance Fresh Foam More v4 review.
The soft and breathable engineered mesh upper feels great on foot and there are extra reflective details to help you stay visible when you are running in low light conditions.
Whether you are going for your long run or standing on your feet for long shifts at work, do it in comfort with New Balance Fresh Foam More v4.

What’s New
The biggest changes that New Balance made were to the heel geometry and Fresh Foam cushioning. New Balance added more Fresh Foam X under foot, raising the stack height a millimeter and making it softer, as well as giving it more energy return. They took out a portion of the cushioning on the outsole of the heel, which allows the heel to splay more on impact and provide a bouncier feel, and also changed the outsole rubber placement.
Designers also changed the upper, making it slightly more streamlined with more structure throughout the midsole, and a streamlined tongue improves breathability and fits the foot more comfortably.
Who It’s Best For
The New Balance Fresh Foam More v4 is best for individuals who want a maximally cushioned shoe. It works well for people who are standing on their feet all day or going for a long run.
Why You’ll Love It
You will love the plush cushion and comfort of the New Balance Fresh Foam More v4.
Sustainability
The Fresh Foam X midsole foam is made with approximately 3% bio-based content that delivers New Balance’s most cushioned Fresh Foam experience. Bio-based content is made from renewable resources to help reduce New Balance’s carbon footprint.

A few mishaps but I like the shoes
They sent me the wrong shoe but eventually got it right. The tung of one of the shoes pulled out so I returned that pair. I like the shoes otherwise: good fit nice balance cushioning etc.

Great customer service
My husband and I came in just before closing. The young man and young woman were very polite and did not hurry us through due to approaching the closing hour.

Worth It!
I generally have a difficult time finding a shoe wide enough for my toes. My foot is a normal size 7 but I usually have to get a wide to give my toes the room they need.. These shoes had plenty of toe room and are very comfortable and cushiony to run in.

My new favorite shoe
Most comfortable shoes that I have bought. I can stand longer because my knee pain is slightly less. I’m strongly considering buying another pair in a different color.

Awesome supportive shoes
I ordered the white gold color for the fall. I already had a pair of the white in this style. I love this shoe. I have a sensitive ankle from an injury years ago and lower back problems. These are so supportive and very comfortable and stylish.
