The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
The Fresh Foam X More v4 delivers plush cushioning and a responsive rocker that buyers consistently praise, though quality control and fit inconsistency across batches remain persistent frustrations for owners. At $97–$214, it suits runners prioritising comfort and ground feel, provided they size up and accept the risk of batch-to-batch variation.

In their words
“Very impressed with the fit and cushion of the Fresh Foam X More v4. However...the name should definitely be shortened by a few words! As with all New Balance, I go up a whole size and they always fit like a glove from the first use. These will be my new go NB go to shoe.”

“Very disappointed with new balance at the moment . There’s a huge problem with inconsistent fit on same shoes and new versions of the same shoes . I have bought 6 pairs of shoes from new balance in last 2 years 4 in which have been the more v4 that I love when the shoes fit correctly.”
