Confluence Running
The Fresh Foam X More v6 is New Balance's more generously cushioned neutral option for easier running, recovery outings and walking. The tall foam volume and rocking geometry give it a distinct feel compared with the 1080 and the more traditional 880.
We would use a model in this category for smooth neighborhood routes and paved trails when comfort over long stretches is the goal. It is not a technical trail shoe.
Fit before category
Try the offered width and make sure toe space remains comfortable without heel slippage. A larger foam stack has a different ride from a lower shoe, and the rolling transition should feel natural through your stride. If you wore More v5, compare the models side by side. Soft cushioning is only useful if the upper and platform feel secure.
We fit shoes against your foot shape, width, comfort, movement and intended use—not just a label like “neutral” or “stability.”
How the shoe works
High-volume Fresh Foam X cushioning, a rockered shape and full-length flex grooves are designed to smooth transitions through slower and longer road efforts.
