My first run in them today, and it was incredible. I have many pairs of running shoes, and this by far is the best and most comfortable long run shoe I have ever tried. The shoe is lighter, and the midsole foam is definitely softer than the V4. Doesn't tire you out on those long runs either.
Interesting, I’m not loving them as much as the v4s so far. I think it’s great for easy runs, but I don’t see myself getting faster mileage out of them like I did the v4s

Thank you so much!!! I think I prefer the v4; it’s more versatile and discounted in many places. However, if you really like cushioning, the v5 would be the better option. It’s softer, and not made for data workouts, but it has a ton of foam that will be comfy on easy/slow runs.
Many of the things you said about the v5 (e.g., it's warm and lacks energy return and versatility) summarizes my experience with the v4. It was just a clunker that didn't work for me.
Yeah, those are the listed specs. The sidewalls on the midsole come up around the foot quite a bit, so it’s not like the whole foot is sitting on top of all that foam. I will say, it feels like there’s more stack, but that could be the new Fresh FoamX
Heel stacks: More v3, 37,5mm More v4, 32,5mm More v5, ?. Those are the stacks! Not what new balance claims. You can check it, were they cut the shoe in half.
@@FreshBrewRunClub It's still unlisted afaik - it seems fleet feet is the only one who listed it and I'm pretty sure that's an error. There's no way this has significantly less stack than the 1080
I bought the More v4 after you hyping it and it has been such a fantastic shoe even after 300 miles. I think the extra softness of the More v5 might be a hinder since I use the v4 for anything from easy to tempo to speed work especially on the tread for extra cush. The v4 is just enough to not feel like you're sinking!
Yep, it feels a lot different than the v4. I need to get more miles in my v5s to see how they hold up over time, but they seem to be more of a specialty easy run shoe so far
These are comfortable for running, but I know some people don’t think extremely cushioned shoes like these are going for being on foot all day. I’d prefer a little more firmness, but it’s definitely a matter of preference!
@amirjon I would pick the New Balance More V5 for both walking and running. Another great walking/jogging shoe that is super comfortable and overlooked is the Nike Motiva.
Big changes over V4. The V4 felt a little more smooth and a smidge more versatile like you said, but I thought the fit was a little sloppy. The fit of the V5 feels way more dialed in. I also feel a lot more bounce. It truly is a comfort cruiser.
I got a 10 in the v4s and a 10 in the v5s. The v5 is a little more snug than the v4, but I don’t think I’d size up. Definitely not as tight as the 1080 v13. I do want to run some more mileage in these before I say anything definitive
@@FreshBrewRunClub Thank you very much for your hello. Coming from a country where we can order newly intro shoes only via ONLINE (newer models/fewer colorways are available to us many months late).
@jbbonomo_upd I a, right there with you on sizing the v4 I was good with 10.5 and still had some room but with the 1080v13 I had to get an 11 which sometimes feels like too much room but they are way too tight in 10.5 for me
could this be a sign of the shoe companies making running shoes even more specific. I only say this after seeing many reviews about the triumph 22, also not being as versatile. Still a good shoe, but it’s not as versatile as the triumph 20 and 21. Only time will tell.
Could you please compare the fit of the NB Fresh More V5 with the NB 1080 V13? I wear a 2E width in the 1080 V13. Is the V5’s fit standard, or is it similarly narrow like the V13? Thank you.
Yeah, I am very curious about the 1080 v14. The images I saw kind of made the v14 look like a true sucessor to the More V4. Or a More V5 lite? Photos can be deceiving though.
Wondering if it's too soft to feel much rocker action, (or stability)? Wasn't expecting these reports of "softer than the v4", because an NB rep hinted at the opposite. Guess a victim may need to try it on for themselves, to get an idea what the forward roll is like. The v3 felt smooth rolling, and stable, for me. But, v3 was not really super-squish soft. Prefer stable over mega squish.
The new Fresh FoamX feels softer to me in both the 1080 v13 and the More V5. Plus, they added more foam to the midsole, so this thing is pretty soft. I still can get some decent pickup, but the V4 definitely felt firmer to me
@@FreshBrewRunClub Interesting, thanks. I've seen a few people say they could still feel the v5 rocker, and some stability, despite all the softness. But, I worry because I am not the guy who can normally get by with mega-squishy. Even that softer gap-heel on v4 was a bit too squishy for me, compared to the more structured v3.
@@q20a08 I've just walked in the v5 and haven't run in them yet, but I don't know where everybody is coming from with the comments on v4 vs v5. To me the v5 is definitely more firmer vs v4. I don't even run in my v4, just walk because of the squishiness. Running in them to me is just dead there's nothing there, I don't know how there anything other than for recovery runs! I would think just from walking in the v5, that that shoe will be more versatile like Triumph 20-21, Novablast3-4. Haven't run in the v5 yet so maybe premature in my opinion on it. Run testers and a few others feel the same way about the v4 being more compliant vs resilient.
@@markkamaski2409 Appreciate your impressions, thanks. Seems like NB is attempting to avoid any perception of reckless instability on v5, while simultaneously satisfying those who crave softness. A difficult balance, to be sure.
I guess everyone's preference is different, but I found the V4 a bit too "rubbery" for any kind of spped training. I just sunk into them. Personally, I LOVE my 1080v13's! Softest shoe I've ever owned. But for me, it's what I want for slow runs or recovery days. I'm hoping the V5 is like that...but more! :)
I didn't feel it was as squishy but more bounce or pop I use the 1080 v13 for more a recover do all shoe I put it on tonight after I did my 10 miles in my more v 5s the more v5 is amazing!!!
Probably overkill with the amount of foam to be honest, unless you REALLY like walking in shoes with a lot of cushioning. I’d prefer something a bit firmer for walking
I have the v4 but sounds like the v5 is much softer. So v4 is fine but if you want softer style v4 for me was more firm. I use the v4 for treadmill runs mostly just getting in miles. Just my two cents but have not used the v5
@@davidg9120 I agree. I only use the V4's for walking. To me, they feel cumbersome to run in. Not the same kind of soft feel you get from the 1080v13.
That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? I need to run more miles in the v5, but as it stands, I prefer the v4 because it was more versatile. And now that you can get it for under $100 USD, it’s what I’d do next. There’s a couple shoes coming out in the next month that I want to try (Superblast 2, Balos, and Pegasus Plus), but if I have need to grab something to put in a bunch of miles for my marathon training, I’d get the v4
I got the SC elite v4 at 41.5 but i feel a bit more space in the toe box im afraid to get the same size for the More v5 because its a more chunky shoe do you think i should go for size 40 for the more v5 or should i get the same as the SC elite v4? btw my true to size is 41 with all the Nike shoes.
The More V5 feels very slightly snug. Maybe a 41 would work. I got my same size as what I get in Nikes and they’re fine. I’d recommend trying them on if you’re able, although I know they can be hard to find in stores in many regions
Haven’t run in the rain yet, but that’s a good thing for me to add to my 100 mile review. I don’t want to speculate without actually putting some miles in them on wet conditions
I know I’m in the minority with this opinion, but I did not like the Nimbus 25. I thought it felt flat and it made my legs tired. The More V5 is wayyy softer and more enjoyable to run in to me
Fleet Feet is the only site with specs so far, and they’re claiming it’s a 4mm drop, 44mm stack height in the feel and a 40mm stack height in the forefoot. Now, I paid too much to saw my pair in half to confirm that 😂
@@FreshBrewRunClub Based on a few things I saw on Running Warehouse, I wouldn't be too shocked if you started seeing roughly 40mm/36mm, as well. The NB rep was recently on there stating that the intent was to slightly boost up the v4 measures by 2mm. And RW lists the v4 at 38/34.
