FRESH FOAM MORE — NEW BALANCE'S MOST CUSHIONED RUNNING SHOE
Fresh Foam More
is New Balance's answer for runners prioritizing maximum cushioning. With an extra high stack height and a wide, soft Fresh Foam midsole, it offers one of the most comfort-oriented running experiences in the lineup. It's built for long runs and days when legs need more protection from repeated ground impact.
Compared to other models in the Fresh Foam series like 880 and
1080
, More takes cushioning a step further. The wide platform provides good stability, and the midsole's softness is noticeable from the first step.
THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND FRESH FOAM MORE
Fresh Foam
midsole in More is molded in one piece of foam and designed to absorb and distribute shock evenly across the support surface. A distinctive U-shaped channel in the heel increases flexibility and ensures the midsole compresses precisely where the weight lands.
The outsole is made with rubber pads in the most exposed stress zones to extend durability, while the rest is open to reduce weight. The upper is light and breathable, providing room in the toe box for natural movement during the run.
WHO IS FRESH FOAM MORE FOR?
Fresh Foam More is not the fastest shoe in
New Balance's lineup
, and that's not its purpose. It's the choice for runners who log many miles and want maximum protection. It's ideal for recovery runs that require an extra gentle shoe and for heavier runners who benefit from a more cushioned platform.
New runners who haven't yet developed the adaptations in the body that make high impact easy to handle will also appreciate the extra cushioning. If you've previously run in HOKA Bondi or Brooks Ghost and value that level of comfort, Fresh Foam More will be a natural extension.
FIT AND CONSTRUCTION
Fresh Foam More is built with a roomy toe box that allows for natural toe splay under load. The upper is soft and adapts to the foot without squeezing. The shoe is available for men and women in standard width.
At RunningXpert, you can find Fresh Foam More for both men and women. If you're unsure whether it suits your running needs, feel free to contact our team.
FAQ
What distinguishes Fresh Foam More from Fresh Foam 1080?
Fresh Foam More has a higher stack height and a softer, more cushioned midsole than 1080. 1080 is more versatile and lighter, while More is specialized for maximum comfort and cushioning. Runners who want the softest and most protective in the Fresh Foam series choose More.
Is Fresh Foam More good for marathon training?
It's suitable for the long, easy training runs in a marathon program. For race day, many runners choose a lighter or more responsive shoe. Fresh Foam More is best as a training workhorse rather than a race day shoe.
Does Fresh Foam More fit runners with wide feet?
Fresh Foam More has a relatively roomy toe box and fits many runners with normal to wide feet well. Contact us if you're unsure about the fit.
Is Fresh Foam More a good shoe for beginners?
Yes. The extra cushioning provides good protection for the body still adapting to running. The wide and stable platform offers a forgiving landing experience.
Can I use Fresh Foam More for everyday wear?
Technically yes, but running shoes are optimized for running and wear out faster with daily use outside of training. We recommend reserving the shoe for running to last the season.
