What runners keep saying · from 7 reviews

A runner found the More v5 toe box so tapered that even the 2E felt restrictive.

“I found the more v5 toe box so tapered”

A runner loves the More v5 except for its shallow toe box, which is close to a deal breaker.

“If the v6 has a deeper toe box than the v5, it may become my only shoe. In all other ways, I love the v5. The shallow toe box is close to a deal breaker.”

After an easy hour at 8:20/mi, a 180 lb runner enjoyed the More v5's pillowy, bouncy-ish ride for recovery, though it's heavy and warm.

“I throughly enjoyed the run and look forward to getting lots of plodding, heavy legged miles in them.”

A buyer found the More v5's upper tight in their size and the construction sloppy, with visible glue.

“Really disappointed in these. I ordered a pair online, my size, but uppers are tight.”

A 150 lb runner is in love with the More v5 for running, their best max-cushion shoe yet, though too soft and springy for walking.

“For running - I'm in love. Best max cushion to date for me...”

Ten km in, a runner with 1500 km in the 1080v13 finds the More v5 less squishy than the v4, far more stable than the 1080 and is loving it.

“The ride is less squishy than the More v4 and feel way more stable than the 1080v13. Only 10km in, but so far loving them.”
positivestablegreat cushioning

After 30-40 km, a 180 lb runner liked the More v5's cushioning but found it increasingly clunky with a warm, thick upper, and is returning it.

“After this 30-40k review, I am now preferring my 1080v13 and will return the more v5.”
