I really fell for these shoes around mile 10 and beyond. More often, I found myself swapping in non-plated shoes for my shorter runs and putting in the time to build up my foot muscles from a mixed running schedule (more on that in a moment).įor me, the benefits of the carbon plate and underfoot technology kicked in as the miles stacked up. The shoe felt like any other running shoe, both comfortable and supportive. That said, on my shorter runs I can’t report any noticeable benefits not present in a solid, everyday trainer.
Which only added to my wanting to keep running.
#SPRINGY SHOES HOW TO#
New Balance has to figure out how to use the thick walls of foam on each side to give support and firmness with every stride. The constant back and forth on sidewalks to avoid walkers, and tight turns throughout my neighborhood all felt controlled and supported. Well I have great news: The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer corners great and feels stable. I wondered how stable will I feel when my legs are tired. With a midsole this tall, twisting an ankle on a turn becomes a concern. This was easily remedied with a looser tie. I initially found myself tying these shoes too tight, and feeling the tongue rub across the top of my foot on longer runs. My only criticism is with the tongue, which is a bit thin and provides minimal protection for the top of your foot. The lightweight knit upper breathes great and barely feels like it's constraining your feet.
With very little break in time, I aimed to do just that. Right out of the box the bright green color seemed to scream let’s hit the road. How the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer Felt on My Runs It feels like this design decision was made to appeal to this demo: Those of us wanting to push our daily limits and redefine what a personal PR can be. Through some sort of technological wizardry, you still get a great feel of the road, and extra-cushioned support. Standing in the shoe, it does not have a noticeably higher feel.
Flipping the shoe over you notice the “Energy Arc” curved carbon plate visible through the deep mid-sole chasm.įor the everyday runner, this high stack design quirk likely won't mean much outside of getting used to the elevated height once the kicks are on feet, then enjoying the cushion it provides. This shoe also includes New Balance's new Energy Arc carbon fiber plate, sandwiched between two layers of the FuelCell cushioning.
