New Balance SuperComp Trainer V2 | Field Test Review

[@RunnersWorld]

Note: Around, 5:45 Jeff means FuelCell, not FreshFoam. We made him run a lot… 😅

[@jameswestmoreland9717]

But it's an easy mistake to make in THAT shoe. Fuel cell with a plate feels pretty soft.

[@wacorbin1]

This review was amazing. Really in-depth. Appreciate Jeff going slow and being personable and informative.

I *finally* got a pair of V1 in early September 2023. I LOVE them! Stocking up on them for the foreseeable future---V1 did NOT need to be changed.

[@filoIII]

I've heard V1 is narrow. True?

[@stevestarr9769]

@@filoIII I don't think they're narrow, but I did have to go up half a size from my usual 9.

[@filoIII]

@@stevestarr9769 Run a bit short, ey? ty

[@stevestarr9769]

@@filoIII Yup! Width was fine.

January, 2024, $115. But my first supershoe was the Fuel cell TC: and $50/pair, two pairs. Still running in second pair!!

[@davidbraswell1481]

I am disabled and look for comfort shoes and this SCT v1 and v2 is my absolute FAV shoe ever!!! then I love my Nike IR2 not the 3 I think the upper is terrible and a giant step backward! then I have my new balance Fresh foam x more v 4 boy that's a mouth full but love em anyways!!! this is my rotation not for running but speed walking I have rods and many pins or screws in my right reconstructed ankle. If I had to really chose between the SCT v1 or v2 I will absolutely choose the v1 every time but... its so close that I do Have 2 pairs of each shoe 1 pair each to do my 10 mile walks and 1 pair each to go out to eat go to the mall or just w/e I am doing standing all day they make it effortless! I am still 271 pounds and I have never bottomed out the SCT v1 or v2 but I am NOT running!

I have also found that lacing these was a challenge at first. I was tightening them, too much? I found that a looser lacing these worked better for me also. Appreciate the review.

[@davidbraswell1481]

great review keep up the great work

[@simonaxelsson7047]

Great review 👍

[@tienvothanh8121]

i like this shoes, btw the scenery is so great, where is it, sir??

[@jameswestmoreland9717]

Yeah, where? Could be anywhere. I guess north Central Florida.

[@Tony_Runs]

Love these shoes. Worth every dollar.

[@snowwalker9999]

Making everything "sustainable" is the excuse for higher prices. By the way great review while running.

[@filoIII]

DEI. Companies MUST do this to continue getting loans from Blackrock and Vanguard.

[@snowwalker9999]

@@filoIII And why do Vanguard and Blackrock require this?

[@filoIII]

@@snowwalker9999 Look at who owns them, and what their world views are.

[@Nyelands]

I tried this in the store on the treadmill and I felt it bottom out too. Not sure what to think about that. I didn't really feel that carbon at all.

[@jameswestmoreland9717]

But was it OK on the tread? That push/pull on the landing/ transition. Plate pushes you forward, tread pulls you backwards.

[@i.p2088]

I am a heel striker and slow runner and in the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 2 I feel the plate under the heel when running... Midsole way to soft... Killing my calfs and Achilles tendon.

[@jameswestmoreland9717]

Not sure why all the "wonderful " reviews of that shoe. Only good thing was the forefoot outsole.

[@filoIII]

Was V1 wobbly?

[@nicholas5396]

I think you mean fuelcell not freshfoam, foam..
