New Balance Fresh Foam is a cushioning technology designed to create a soft, smooth and comfortable feel. Shaped within the midsole to help absorb impact, while providing a responsive transition from heel to toe, Fresh Foam is a popular choice for comfort-first runners or anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet. When it comes to choosing between New Balance technologies, Fresh Foam prioritises cushioned comfort, while FuelCell is designed with a more energetic feel suited to faster running.

How to Choose Your New Balance Fresh Foam Trainers
If maximum cushioning is your priority, you'll want to choose the Fresh Foam X More v6 as its plush underfoot makes runs, long distances and days when comfort matters most easier.
For a lighter, more affordable option, the Fresh Foam Arishi v4 offers versatile cushioning for everyday running, walking and casual wear. If you need extra room, opt for New Balance Fresh Foam wide fit women's styles where available in selected models and colourways.
