![]() 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. This new pair of running shoes from New Balance is designed not for the big race day, but for all of the training miles you'll need to accumulate to be ready to take on the full 26.2 of a marathon race. This brings me to New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer. Racers love the shoes because of the springy feel and supposed speed boost, and studies (and race results) suggest there is an advantage to be gained over non-plated shoes. Currently the darling of the road racing world, this type of sneaker uses a combination of super responsive foam and a stiff plate (typically made of carbon fiber, hence the name) in order to propel the wearer forward with each stride and improve running economy (essentially how efficiently you use energy on each stride). But with a market full of high-tech options and styles of sneakers for just about every use case, finding the go-to shoe for your first split of marathon training can be as much of a slog as running all of those miles. ![]() FINDING THE RIGHT SHOE to wear for your first marathon can be tough.
