Advice for Trail Runners: The New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X More Trail v3 Running Shoes offer amazing comfort and support for long days on trails. With a Vibram outsole, you should feel confident on wet and slippery surfaces.
Underfoot Feel
As you might expect from the visuals of the New Balance More Trail v3 Running Shoes, they feel very cushioned. However, a dual density Fresh Foam X midsole optimises both comfort and support for off-road use.
To explain further, a firmer bottom layer creates stability on uneven terrain. A softer top layer improves the step in feel. Additional support is also created by the cushioning, as it rises up around the sides of your feet.
We have to call out the curved heel-to-toe rocker design too. As when you land, the rocker geometry works in tandem with the high-stacked Fresh Foam X midsole to roll your feet forward and make transitions feel ultra smooth.
The Vibram outsole with Traction Lug grips on both wet and dry surfaces.
Upper Fit

Sizing Advice
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
