New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 Review

New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 Review: Less is More?

It’s been a few years since I last ran in New Balance’s softest and most cushioned pair. The shoe has always played second fiddle to its older, less chubby sibling, the Fresh Foam X 1080. And New Balance loves to play favorites: there’s a reason the “Run your way” company — not to be confused with Burger King’s “Have it your way”— says if they made only one shoe, it’d be the 1080. Ouch, that’s got to deflate the gigantic stack height of the More a little, right? Find out if the shoe deserves more of the spotlight.

New Balance Fresh Foam X Balos Review: A Bunch of Baloney

The Balos has accomplished quite the feat: it’s the first running shoe you can simultaneously pronate and supinate in! I didn’t think that was conceivable, but as New Balance says: “Impossible is nothing.” Wait, I think that’s Nike’s tagline. I’m exaggerating, of course, but if you’re not a neutral runner, do not try this shoe. Hell, even if you are a neutral runner, this shoe may not work for you. It’s one of the least stable shoes I’ve run in…ever.

New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 review

New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 Review: High Performance, Low Cost

When you look up the word “smooth” in your online dictionary of choice, there’s a picture of the New Balance FuelCell Rebel. Just kidding. There are no pictures in online dictionaries, only printed versions as ancient as the fever-brained fogeys who still use them. But if there were pictures in online dictionaries, there would definitely be a photo of the Rebel; it just feels so…well…smooth to run in.
