About the shoe
The New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz V4 delivers a comfortable, well-padded ride with standout breathability and a secure fit, making it a solid choice for everyday training.

7.5/10
The New Balance Fresh Foam X Evoz V4 is widely regarded as a reliable, value-oriented daily trainer, with a focus on comfort, durability, and stability. Experts and users consistently highlight its premium-feeling upper, generous padding, and solid lockdown, making it well-suited for everyday runs and base building. The Fresh Foam X midsole in this model is firmer and less bouncy than in higher-end New Balance models (like the 1080 or More), which limits its appeal for tempo runs or racing, where lighter weight and greater responsiveness are preferred. Its weight (10.1 oz/286g) is above average for daily trainers, further reducing suitability for faster efforts. The cushioning is ample for moderate long runs, but the firmer ride and heavier build make it less ideal for extended marathon training compared to more specialized long-distance shoes. For recovery runs, the plush upper and stable platform provide a gentle, comfortable experience, though the firmer foam means it is not as soft as some recovery-focused models. The shoe is not designed for trail use, lacking the traction and protection needed for off-road or technical terrain. Expert consensus and user feedback consistently position the Evoz V4 as a dependable, comfortable, and affordable option for daily and recovery running, but not for speedwork, racing, or trails.
