The New Balance Fresh Foam X More V5 is engineered for runners prioritizing comfort during their training. Its core strength lies in the ultra-cushioned Fresh Foam X midsole, making it ideal for long runs where sustained comfort is key, and for everyday training sessions. The shoe's stable design ensures a smooth, consistent ride, helping to reduce distractions and maintain focus, especially when building endurance. The breathable engineered mesh upper keeps feet comfortable even in warmer conditions or during extended efforts. The durable outsole provides reliable traction on paved surfaces, making it a dependable choice for road running. This shoe excels in providing a protective, comfortable experience rather than a fast, highly responsive one, making it a great partner for accumulating mileage.
Lacing: Loosen the adjustable laces before putting on the shoes.
Fit: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is seated comfortably against the back of the shoe.
Adjust: Tighten the laces progressively from the forefoot towards the ankle until you achieve a snug, secure fit without any pinching or excessive pressure points. Ensure about a thumb's width of room at the toe box.
Test: Take a few steps to ensure comfort and adjust lacing as needed.
The Fresh Foam X More V5 is primarily designed for female adult runners seeking neutral support and maximum cushioning. It is best suited for:

Cleaning: After use, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your running shoes to extend their lifespan and allow the cushioning to fully decompress between runs.
