Reinforced lacing system and quality Fresh Foam X construction support consistent heavy use, though limited outsole rubber may affect longevity.
The More v6 excels as a max-cushioned daily trainer with exceptional comfort for easy paces and recovery. Its plush Fresh Foam X midsole and stable platform make it ideal for base building and long runs, but limited responsiveness and weight restrict tempo and racing applications.
Ideal for Recreational to intermediate runners logging 30–60+ miles weekly who prioritize comfort and injury prevention over speed; ideal for those recovering from injury, managing high mileage, or simply preferring a plush, protective ride. Best suited for runners with neutral to slightly wider feet seeking a dedicated easy-day and long-run shoe that excels at all-day wearability and doesn't demand fast-paced versatility.
Designed for all-day wear, everyday running, walking, and long runs. Provides plush, ultra-protective ride with surprising stability despite maximum cushioning. Weight of 306g (10.8oz) is heavier than average daily trainer but represents 3% improvement over v5. Fresh Foam X firms up more in cold conditions (68% softness change) compared to Pebax or TPU foams. Wider midfoot and new outsole configuration create smoother transitions and effortless gliding through stride compared to v5.
Sizing: True-to-size. Comparable sizing to New Balance 1080 v14 and previous More v5 model.
