Extra Soft Trainers with a Propulsive Carbon Fiber Plate
The New Balance SuperComp Trainer has been a popular super-trainer for a few generations and the 4th generation hopes to build on this legacy. A great choice for half-marathon and marathons, the SuperComp Trainer v4 pairs extremely well as a training or racing shoe for longer distances. The FueCell midsole is super soft, super bouncy, and one of the best foams New Balance offers. Even better, FuelCell foam in this super-trainer is made with 3% bio-based content, utilizing renewable materials to reduce its overall carbon footprint.
This high-end foam cushioning is complemented by New Balance Energy Arc technology, a uniquely shaped carbon fiber plate as well as strategic midsole cutouts. Combined, this complete midsole package stores and delivers more energy in each stride to effortlessly guide you forward. This explosive, yet cushioned, running experience is what draws so many runners to the New Balance SuperComp Trainer.
To lock in an ultralight and secure fit, New Balance included its FantomFit upper, nearly disappearing on your foot as you lace up. Finishing things off is a solid rubber outsole giving you superior traction and increasing the longevity of your speedy new super-trainers.

These new shoes are pretty "Super"!
I am an avid runner on roads and trails and get in ~45 miles per week these days. I mostly train for ultra trail races. My feet are pretty accustomed to high stack and springy shoes. Just coming off of an aging pair of Asics Superblast 2's, I wanted to give New Balance a go. Compared to the Superblasts, the SuperComp Trainer v3 feels a bit more rigid out of the box, but softens up over a few weeks. They are springy and propulsive, easy to run in. The fit seems spot on, the laces are nice, materials seem durable enough. I've put about 150 miles on the shoes and they're feeling great. I did notice that the grip isn't great on wet surfaces, so be mindful of that on rainy days. For $180 they are a good purchase and you can get a lot of mileage out of them whether it's for daily training or racing short to marathon distances.

At first, I felt them a little uncomfortable (walking) but when I started to run it was a completely different experience: Stable, Responsive and Fast. Regarding the store: fast shipping and service

Excellent long run shoe
Feels like a supercharged Rebel, very comfortable and can handle a wide range of paces. My only issue is that much like the Rebel it fits short and had to take a half size up from my typical running shoe size.
