Critics & buyers
The human jury in one chapter — what the video reviewers score and say, the reviews behind it, and how Google buyers rate them.
What reviewers say?
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.
Reviewers praise
- Exceptional cushioning and plush ride from the large Fresh Foam X midsole, suited to recovery runs and all-day standing
- Notably improved stability over the previous version via a wider outsole platform and stiffer heel counter
- Roomier toe box with more volume than the prior version, accommodating wider feet
Reviewers push back
- Completely unsuited to faster-paced running — the high stack and soft foam make picking up the pace laborious
- Stretchy laces can cause the fit to feel loose during runs, requiring mid-run adjustments
- Breathability is only adequate; the padded upper can feel warm in hot conditions
Reviewers broadly agree the More v6 is among the softest, most cushioned shoes available for easy runs and all-day wear, with meaningful stability improvements over its predecessor.
Reviewers disagree on whether the v6 is softer or firmer than the v5: the blind-test channel found the v6 noticeably softer, while the physio-focused reviewer and the Ben Parkes channel describe it as somewhat firmer underfoot
