| Pros | Softest and most stable ride I have tried · Very wide, stable platform · Softer, premium-feeling engineered mesh upper · Improved outsole pattern spreads the load · 4 mm drop takes stress off knees and hips · Often on sale for ₹6,000 to ₹7,000 · Half sizes available up to size 12 | Springy, energetic ZoomX ride · Light and breathable for a max-cushion shoe · Foam didn't flatten over a half marathon · Helps when you pick up the pace · Excellent, durable grip · Plush heel padding and tongue, no heel slippage · Reflective details, expected to last over 1,000 km |
| Cons | Fights you when you try to run fast · No energy return for fast or serious runners · 2EE forefoot is very roomy · No heel clip and a soft heel wall, so not for overpronators · Lower durability for heavy runners, around 500 km | Expensive at ₹16,000 in India · Only on Nike's website, imported with tax · Unstable for paces slower than 6 min/km · Not for heavy runners or weak ankles |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you want energy return and fast running, or if you overpronate. | Avoid it if you run slower than 6 min/km, are a heavy runner, or have ankle stability problems. |
My verdicts
New Balance
Fresh Foam X More v6
For walking, long hours of standing, slow jogging, heavy runners, people with knee or hip pain and older people, nothing under ₹10,000 beats it. If you want energy return and fast running, forget it.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want energy return and fast running, or if you overpronate.

Vomero Plus
One of my top three max-cushion daily trainers of 2025; I couldn't find any problem with it for its purpose. It's expensive at ₹16,000, and it suits runners at 5 to 6 min/km, not slow, heavy or unstable runners.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you run slower than 6 min/km, are a heavy runner, or have ankle stability problems.
