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.

Great shoe, size up.
This is a great shoe, but you might have to go up half a size, which is unike other new balance shoes.

New to New Balance
I’ve always run in other brands so I’m new to new balance shoes and I like them so far. I bought them for winter running because they don’t have a mesh toe. I’ve worn them for 2 half marathons so far and they’re very comfortable and cushioning. Though I’d get a bit more bounce but maybe because it’s been freezing temps and the sole freezes up so I have to wait and see. Toes stay somewhat warm but there’s room for warmers just in case. I’d give these 3.5 stars.

These felt amazing and I wanted to love them. Unfortunately, the fabric upper is splitting after less than two month. No excessive use and the fit is just right. I’ve never had a pair of shoes fall apart this quickly. Unfortunately, I was outside the 30 day return window and New Balance won’t offer support.
