Customer Reviews New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer

10 days before Berlin 2022 my plantar fasciitis blew up and I couldn't even walk let alone run in the shoes I had been training in for the marathon. After trying on 8 pairs of running shoes I put the Supercells on and like Cinderella they were perfect. I put about 20 miles on them before the marathon. No hot spots or blisters. I did have to go up a full size and wear longer socks but that's a small price to pay for being able to run the marathon without pain.

I wear these for all my easy day runs and my easy long runs (note: these shoes are not for workouts/speed/quality efforts hence the "trainer" in the subject line people!). I am absolutely obsessed with this shoe and have tried virtually every fan-favorite trainer on the market across popular brands over the years and these are my #1 favorite all-time so far. They feel extremely bouncy and help propel my heavy marathon-training legs off the ground. I also believe that the carbon-plate and the propulsion aspect helps in recovery too. I feel that my legs are more quickly recovering from wearing carbon-plated race shoes and these trainers day-in-and-out. I see a lot of negative comments here about the ankle, but I have not had this issue. My feet feel glorious in these! I have over 300 miles now in them and they are still running just as lovely as they were the first mile I ran in them. No issues with wear and tear in the upper. Can't wait to buy my next pair!

They take getting used to because they are much springier then my regular FuelCell. The shock absorption is amazing. Going slow in breaking in my miles but my speed is cut down by a full minute without trying.

The cushion on this show is unmatched. Prior to the FuelCell SuperComp I primarily used my Hoka Rincon 3s. The SuperComp definitely has a larger cushion which is great for my longer runs! However, this shoe is much heavier than my Rincon 3s. Because of that I don't recommend the SuperComp for speed work. But if you are looking for a supportive, comfortable, cushiony, bouncey shoe for long runs then this is a solid option! I would order them again for sure.

I haven't used these new shoes yet. They felt good when I tried them on and I just need to take them for a run. They were expensive but they seemed to be well made and the materials look good.

These soles are chonky. I'm on my feet for 10+ hours a day at work. So my legs are tired and sore. These are so comfortable errands, walking, jogging, and running feels amazing. They're restorative for tired, sore legs. And they're cuuute. The mesh is breathable and thats great, but these are only for dry conditions.

I just tried them today, I'm training for Chicago marathon and they felt like heaven!!! Sooo comfy sooo light! I just felt in love one more time !

Great for a springy run! Surprisingly stable. I love them. Sized 1/2 size up from my normal, glad I did.

First of all my plantar fasciitis goes away when I run in these shoes so they are a game changer for me. The only thing I don't like about this shoe is the inner ankle collar. It's something hard about it. If they fix that, this shoe would be perfect! The shoe ran a half size smaller for me.

they fit TTS, the carbon plate tech is great. I've been training with them and they have been super comfortable. My only complaint is the toe box can use a tiny bit of room.

Love the color and floating feel of the footbed, however, these run a half size smaller for my comfort with socks so I'm returning them and going to reorder the size 7.

The sneaker is like no other I ever walked in. The cushioning on my feet is fantastic. I would give it 5 stars but, the hard stitching of the sneaker hits my ankle bone and is painful. I need to role my sock and hope it stays in place when I walk.

I am a New Balance only girl and this is the trainer shoe I've been looking for! It has a nice bounce to it which propels you forward while running. The only reason I didn't give it a solid 5 is because the shoe rides up pretty high on the ankle and it can be a bit uncomfortable but not enough not to love them as they are.

I trained and ran multiple races last year in the NB FuelCell Elite v2 and am anxiously awaiting v3. Picked these up at the start of this year's training cycle hoping they might tide me over. They have the same great cushion and spring as the Elite v2, but with a little less squish, which is good. What I don't like is the rigid ankle design in the upper lace area. After my first run, I had persistent soreness on the front of both ankles from the shoe hitting there. I did not notice it during the run, so I'm hoping they break in a bit and that softens up. I purchased a size up from my daytime wear size, as usual, but these feel about half a size smaller than that.

I tried running with these twice. I liked everything about these shoes except the inside stitching on the blue inside liner near both top lace holes on both shoes. The stitching is very hard and made my skin sore below my ankles where the stitching makes contact with my foot. I had nice thick running socks on and they were between my skin and the contact points but it didn't help. I liked the overall foot comfort of these shoes so much on my first run I was willing to give them a second trial run. However, the issue was the same so I decided it was best to return them despite all of the positives. I hope they fix the stitching on future runs. If they do I'd be willing to try them again.

Fit was small and almost too thin

I so want to give these 5 stars but the support around the ankle opening is so uncomfortable. My feet feel amazing except for that one spot. It feels like a bra wire poking the space around your ankle

I wanted to love these so much and I really did until the material started rubbing right on my ankle bone. These shoes are so cushy they are a dream! But that darn fabric rubbed the skin on my ankle bone raw. I shouldn't have to wear bandaids or high socks to wear these.

'Nice shoes but opening in the sole perfect size for roadside rocks to jam into, unfortunately
