Consensus Summary
The New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 offers a max cushioning experience with a stack height of 44mm in the heel and 40mm in the forefoot. This shoe provides a firm feel underfoot, particularly at slower paces, making it best suited for easy-paced training rather than speed work. Reviewers note that the shoe feels bulky due to its substantial midsole, which can be off-putting for those accustomed to lighter trainers. The fit is standard but may feel snug through the midfoot, potentially pinching wider feet. While it excels in recovery-focused runs, its weight and lack of breathability limit its versatility for faster workouts.
