The New Balance Fresh Foam X More V6 is a maximally cushioned road shoe built for easy daily and long-distance mileage.
Why for easy: The plush king of New Balance: a deep, soft Fresh Foam X midsole that makes a recovery day easy on tired legs.
The New Balance 1080v15 is a high-stack road daily trainer built around the brand's new Infinion cushioning foam.
Why for daily: The new Infinion foam is protective but not mushy, and at 260 g the 1080 is light for so much cushion.
Why for long run: Doctors of Running name long runs as one of its jobs: the bouncy foam stays protective late in the run.
The Fresh Foam X 860v15 is New Balance's long-running road stability daily trainer, using Fresh Foam X cushioning with a Stability Plane structure for supportive mileage.
Why for stability: A 43 mm heel with a wide base and firmer foam on the inside: support that guides the foot without a hard post.
The New Balance SuperComp Rebel V1 is a lightweight neutral road shoe positioned as a versatile uptempo trainer and racer, though it reportedly fits small and narrow.
