New Balance Fresh Foam More v4 After 100 Miles 

Spot on analysis! NB is really doing some exciting things these days. I have ran in a number of super cushioned shoes and these might be the best. Once again, great job sir. 😎🤙

Finally ordered my first non-asics shoe in a long time - more v 4 coming in, in a few days; excited to try them on for my recovery runs! I've been in asics (cumulus & nimbus) for quite a while. I do recall owning a pair of NB's a few years back and that the brand had served me well then, though I can't recall which specific model it was. But what I do know is that your shoe reviews are THE best on youtube! I ordered the Novablast 3's recently based off of them and man - they indeed already are my favorite asics shoe and my go to daily trainers! So I'm guessing this (more v 4) will be another hit!

So happy with my More 4. Thank you Kofuzi.

I love my v3s and was trying on the v4s at work (Fleet Feet) and the new Fresh Foam X feels AMAZING, definitely a great update to an already awesome shoe. Love to see the durability!

Love more V4, just bought last month and exactly agree on your review.. Thanks Kofuzi

Got a pair arriving next week! Excited to test them. Great video Mike, cool edit on that intro!

The perspective on the chair at the end was A+

Best shoes i have ever had to date ! Seriously , they are amazing. Even with my high arch the fit is superb. I have to get a second pair :D

I bought the NYC version while I was out there for the race. Can’t wait to try them out!

Bra I think NB nailed it absolutely with the More V4 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I‘m running in the More V3 since last year and collected 300 miles in these. And I’m amazed how squishy they after that much of running 🤩 I think I will take it to 500 or 600 miles before I take my eyes on the More V4 😍😍😍

I know I know he is reviewing a shoe after 100 miles. Cool. But know one is going to talk about how he put that intro 😮😮 the music, the video sync is top notch 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. The attention to detail, thanks Ko. ✅

Loving mine so far. Now, they’re great on level ground and downhills. There’s the edge of too much “sink in” on the uphills. If that rocker wasn’t there, it would be a slug fest going uphill!

Great news, since mine arrive tomorrow! Thanks for sharing your opinion.

I do 90% of my training in the More v3 and they are now a little over 1300 km, yet still quite runnable. I think it’s possible to get them to 1000 miles, but bday is in a few weeks and I am totally buying the More v4.

Great recovery shoe

I love running in my More v3; they’re just so clunky looking, though. The v4 looks more chiseled. I’m sure to grab a pair before long.

I couldn’t agree more with your review! I have been using the more v4 for quite long now and I’m considering buying a new pair for my next marathon block. Their combination of squishiness and bounciness makes them unbeatable when it comes to slow pace runs. PS It was a real pleasure meeting you in NY!!! Thomas from Luxembourg 🇱🇺

the white More v4 looks fantastic

Got all the information I needed

Nice 👌I'll wait for these puppies to go on sale and give them a try.

Just got some recently and am really looking forward to the next few months with them!

Loving the reviews Kofuzi. I own the 1080 v12 but I'm looking to get a pair of the More v4 for the long, easy miles.

I am also loving the more v4. I add an insole for my PF and still have alot of room for my feet. The new mental health stigma version at running warehouse is so cool 😎

I just got the more v4s and I love them, everyone was trying to sell me Hoka Bondi 8 and I'm like NO!!!! been there tired of that. These are so incredible like really walking on soft pillows I like the so much I heard a reviewer say that thew new fuel cell Super comp Trainer was even better so I went ahead and ordered me a pair of those too they will be here tomorrow at 1 -5 central us time and ill post here again if they are as good as they are. So far the more v4s are definitely a dream to my feet after having 3 surgery's on my right foot I thought Id never find a good shoe again !!! but I did!!!!

As always, I appreciate the review! This shoe is at the top of my list to replace an old pair of Asics Novablast 1 for easy day efforts - Don't worry, I have another pair of NB1, a pair of NB3, and the Triumph 20 🙂. Over 90% of my runs seem to be easy pace these days so I can never have enough higher stack, higher cushioning shoes.

I nearly pulled the trigger on the More V4. Loved the feel of them. I've already got a pair of 1080v11. Thought I'd get the Gel Nimbus 25 instead.

Totally getting this after doing a lot of homework

I feel like the new sub-genre should be called "Overstack Shoes" since they exceed WA regulations.

I just got the mental health stigma pair ! Very excited

These have just become my daily trainers (since I mainly run MAF). Will be my first shoe I’ll double up on come sales or when my first pair wear out. Love the stability despite the high stack, and the subtle squish and bounce back it provides.

Just ordered a pair I'm excited 😊

“Aggressive tinkering” is such a Kofuzi expression

Mines just came today, I always run in Asics venture gel 8’s and putting the NB v4 on and feeling that rocker motion was new to me, very interesting.

Yayaaaaa!!! Im sticking with new balance!!!

I've done my long runs and did NYC in the v3. I wear tested the v4 at a shakeout run and thought it felt a lot different. The platform was wider than the v3 yet the upper felt stiffer and narrower. I would have a hard time putting my orthotics in the v4. Overall, it felt stiffer and I didn't like the feel of the collar and tongue. While the v3 is less breathable, it felt broken in out of the box whereas the v4 felt stiffer. I may have to stock up on the v3.

cool intro yo

I just cant wait to try this one. I got it for $50. Hoping it arrive soon 😁 Thanks for the review!

Great shoe for sure my fav recovery shoe . Mizuno wave sky 6 for easy , novablast3 daily, puma Deviate Nitro 2 for speed and racing or the speed 3 (lots of choice , got to much shoes for sure)

Well, I decided to give More V4 another try after returning it after the first try and now it'll join my rotation. I didn't care for the 1080v12 and it's become a good walking shoe for me. So, I was skeptical of the Fresh Foam X and perhaps I was colored by the experience I had with the 1080v12 for running. I decided to give More V4 another try in the new NYC Marathon Edition version as I'm a sucker for all-white colorways and I have to say that it really is the ultimate "easy/recovery" shoe, even more so than the Invincible Run 2 and the SC Trainer which I really enjoy. The thing about the Invincible Run 2 and the SC Trainer is that they both have very good energy return and have some propulsion to drive you forward to pick up the pace. The More V4 doesn't have that and, to me, that "character", feel, and ride makes it even better for the slow/easy/recovery runs. It kind of forces you to run slow and at an easy pace - like around 9:00/mile or even slower. I dare to say that the More V4 is more a "jogging" shoe than a "running" shoe. Haha. It's big and bulky but is not as heavy as it looks. It doesn't have much of an energy return with each foot strike as you get from the Invincible Run (1 or 2) or the SC Trainer but that's what makes it the "ultimate" easy/recovery shoe. It makes you want to run slow and take it easy. You forget about the metrics like pace, speed, HR, distance, and whatever else and you just enjoy a nice-and-easy slow run. It's very stable and smooth at a slow pace and makes you stay at it. It does not make you want to go faster like the Invincible Run and/or the SC Trainer. I like it and it's a keeper. It's way better than the 1080v12 or the Clifton 8. To me, they are two shoes that I tried very hard to like but just couldn't. In a word, they were both just BORING. I don't feel that with the More V4. It has a very clear purpose and reason for its existence and usage. There's really nothing like the Invincible Run (1 or 2) for soft squishiness and bounce and the SC Trainer has got its own thing going with the massive FuelCell midsole stack and plated Energy Arc but the More V4 has something of its very own. You have to give kudos to any shoe that has it.

"Honey I shrunk Kofuzi" Absolutely love these shoes they are so enjoyable to run in. I realize that they dont fit exactly the same but would be curious at the end of the day how they "stack" (hehe) up against the SuperBlast... I do like the enhanced rocker in the v4 over the v3 of the More and dont feel as you do that it is all that similar to the SC Trainer to warrant it being in the same category but unsure on the ASICS

The thing is with these shoes and 1080 v 10. 11 and 12 is that the heavier you are the less affective they are . Me at 13½ stone , so can't get long runs in comfort, I'd say ok up to around 8 or so miles , after that the ground starts to spank your feet . Don't get me wrong I love these shoes and new balance, both my 1080v11 ( 2 pairs ) ran to 650 miles 👍

Always super helpful to see your reviews and agree, this is a great daily trainer, recovery and long slow distance shoe. What's your pairing recommendation for threshold or interval runs?

Great review as always but was hoping you can do 200 mile reviews as I find them to be more valuable considering most people aren’t changing out shoes after 100 miles. For a max cushion shoe being aimed for long runs, they will rack up miles quickly and who wants a shoe to lose its feel just after 200 miles? I know the More v3 lost it’s cushion feel for me after around 200 miles…and I’m not heavy. I think a decent shoe should last at least up to 300 miles…considering todays technology.

Yeah... Now that v5 is coming soon, the v4 is now on sale and I was able to grab this exact colourway at USD65.

Hi. I’m new to your channel and very much enjoy your videos. Right now I run in Nike Zoom X Invincibles, Brooks Glycerin 19s and, occasionally Hoka Clifton 8s. I’m deciding on a new pair of either the Brooks Glycerin 20s or the More v4. It’s been a very long time since running in NB shoes. Do you think the More v4 would fit into this rotation? Also, I’m 70 years old and typically run about four miles every day. Thanks!

lol that big chair

Bondi 8 More v4 Invincible run

Interesting! I run in Hokas, but they only last two to three months. Perhaps I should try these shoes!

Would you suggest these or the 1080 v12 for someone who doesn’t run more than 10 miles a week. The price difference is minimal so would use these for running and daily wear (errands - kids - etc)

Any chance you could put the brand name somewhere? It's not in the title, description, or even the thumbnail. In this case, I am (or was) a New Balance guy so I knew these were NB shoes, but it might help others who might not know.

I've been loyal to Hoka for the past five years, (Clifton and Mach iterations), but am going to try this shoe out as I am now doing longer runs at low heart rate, and to be honest, my feet ache on longer runs in Hokas. Also, looking for more durability, a fault with Hoka, IMO. So long as the More v4 doesn't irritate my achilles, it should be good.

My More V4 feels like they're collapsing at the heel & it feels like there is a negative heel to toe drop. I can't figure out if it is the foam degrading or if they were always like that due to the geometry of the shoe & I did not initially notice.

Thanks for your review. Is the V4 as stiff as the Bondi 7 or more flexible?

It would be great to see another shoe rotation video for 2022. I'm trying to put together a 2 shoe rotation. Could the More V4 and the Endorphin Speed 2 (already use the 2) handle the bulk of what I need?

Are those shoes far better than the asics glideride 3? I was considering the asics as my next long easy run, but it makes me hesitate

How do you compare it to Adidas Prime X? Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

Hi 😊. In your opinion, does propel v4 suits for heavy person? (Im 104kg)... And may I know, how does the grip on wet road ya? Is it grippy and durable enough? (like pumagrip). Hope to hear some response/ advice frm you🙏🏻

That spot in the centre you pointed out is worse for me after 100km - down to the foam. I do not think that is hard-wearing enough tbh.

Hello, do you plan to review Adidas Prime X strung?

How does the upper on the More v4 compare to the super flexible/comfortable upper in the 1080v12? I chose the 1080v12 over the More v3 mainly because of the upper. Thanks!

Look at the sole ! Every brand will be Hoka at the end

Great video, thanks. How is it compared to Nike infinity Zoom X?

If compare it with Invincible 3. Which shoes will be the best maximum cushion shoes.

Thanks for the review. How would you rate this against the SC Comp trainer? If I were to buy only one, which one would you recommend?

Does anyone find some problem about breathing, overheat or some feeling to hot the feet in summer's training?

Im a size 12 in the vongo v5, should I go for the size 11.5 in the more v4?

Developing a hot spot on my inner arch on my right foot very quickly into my runs...anyone else experiencing this? Very frustrating.

4:15 where'd you get that face mask?

Which has a more plush/comfortable feel between this one & NB Fuel Cell SC Trainer? I currently run in NB 1080 V12's (35-50 miles per week) which is a great shoe imo but I'm also a tennis player so my feet take a pounding & was looking for a recovery shoe for days after I play tennis & run on same day. Thanks for the post as always interesting.

I had to return my to NB .. They wore out on the bottom a lot .. So much I got a Voucher from NB for the exact cost to buy a new pair . I am 290lbs and run / walk about 12 miles a week .

How will you compare this to Novablast 3? I'm torn on what to buy for my easy recovery day (If novablast3 cushion is as good as V4, I think I should go with it)

The arch looks quite high. I have been wearing hoka clifton 8s and the arch of the shoe sticks into the arch of my foot. Does these NBs do the same?

Still not released in the UK, infuriatingly, so went for the Bondi 8. Markedly different experience and I miss the More 3 they replaced. I only got 350 miles from the 3's but suspect the Bondi will bomb on way past that do swings and roundabouts I guess

@kofuzi hello, did you have problems starting out in the shoes? my first 2-3 +- 10km runs i had issues with the shoe rubbing along the left inner side of each foot causing blisters. Its the same size as my other shoes but the shoe feels narrow on the inside. Maybe i have to walk them in more before running distances.

I tried the More v4 and I think it's a good shoe for the easy/recovery category but I have the Invincible Run, GlideRide 3, and the SC Trainer for the long easy miles and I decided that I like those more. I also have the Clifton 8 and 1080v12 but now use them more for casual walking than running. So, I really didn't see the More v4 fitting into my rotation. I recently got the Prime X Strung and it's the bounciest and most fun shoe out of all the shoes I've tried this year. And I have the Novablast 3, Speed 3, Mach 5, and Deviate Nitro 2 for daily training so I looked at the More v4 and just couldn't find a place for it to fit in. At some point, you reach a limit (unless you are a reviewer who gets shoes sent to you from the manufacturers) of how many shoes you can have in your rotation and actually use all of them on a regular basis. I run 70~80 miles per week with around a quarter of them on the trails. Have 10 trail shoes in the rotation as well. I feel like I'm maxed out now. It's time for me to stop reading/watching shoe reviews and run even more!

Just finished 100 miles on my more v4 and they look a lot more beat up than yours. The ride is still great but the outsole tread has worn off around the pads of my feet and is starting to tear into the foam. Don’t see them lasting for more than 40-50 miles or so. The upper has held up beautifully though

do you think its a proper shoe for HM?

a curiosity: on easy days, like this 10 mile, do you do any different hydration? do you use gel? Or tie your shoelace and go?

I love the plush but I can’t even get 5k in these without getting blisters in my arches!

just got the red colorway today i ran for about 3 and a half to 4 miles for 40 mins then walked about 25 mins and got around 5 plus miles in total i guess i have to break them in my legs were more tired than usual

I dont know what to take, Hoka bondi 8 or those one, any advice ? I’m a beginner in running but I walk a lot

I'm looking for a replacement for all-time favorite Beacon. Is this it?

Hi, i want to ask if you recomend some sprinting shoes, good to Run um road but that can performe Nice um track?

Yo

I have a job that requires me to stand for long hours and move a lot. I have been thinking about these for several days now. I want to get these over 1080v12 because of more cushion. Pls advise!!

Can this be good on the trail ? Or would the hierro 7 be better?

mmm...how does the "springiness" compare with say Hoka mach 5 etc??

Would you prefer this or the 1080 v12 to run a 100mile ultra?

Im confused is this the same arishi v4 sold on their site, why does it look so much taller here. On their site it’s selling for 59?!

Halo kofuzi,im tired looking for the size cause very hard to find. In the market only size 45 (29cm) my feet is 29.5 cm . Is it still comfortable when i take down size ?

How would compare with the Glideride 3 and the More V3?

For some reason, New Balance is only selling the white ones in my country, South Africa.

Is this foam more or less soft than ZoomX? Or about the same? So far I have yet to find a shoe softer than the invincible run, is this it?

Which is more comfortable. This one or rebel?

Is this different from the Arishi V4?

I'm beginner about to start running. My foot is 26 cm long. What is the perferct size if i buy this shoe? Do I need to buy 26,5 cm insole or stick to 26 cm insole? Thank you for your advice.

How does it compare with Nike Invincible ZoomX?

I'm so happy PJ Phil from YTV found a new calling by reviewing shoes

I can buy the more V3 right now for $70. Is V4 that much better that I should spend double the $$$ or should I buy V3?

😂🪑
