[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are 100% the best sneakers I have ever owned. They're lightweight with a very soft knit outer shell, which is perfect for wide feet. They feel great on. Wearing them is super comfy. They literally feel like walking on clouds. They also have a little bounce to them when you walk in them. I have small wide feet and struggle to find shoes if any kind that don't squish, squash or hurt my feet in some way, but after wearing them for 3 hours, regardless of walking it running, my feet were fine. No blisters or anything. I am to impressed that I would even save up to purchase another pair. The size fits me perfectly as well. I really have zero negatives to say. I am so so happy to have had the opportunity try these awesome sneakers.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Holy Moley these shoes are AH-MAZING. Once youve run a few kilometres in them, you won't be able to go back. The curve in the sole is perfection. The are light and durable. They look cute. Their sizing is pretty spot on. I am a size 7.5 in most shoes, and in one of the photos I have shown where my toe is in this pair of 7.5. I am not a huge marathon competition runner. I just like to run for more fun than winning. I still recommend these shoes. They make a big difference.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are so light and comfortable. They fit on my feet so well! Very breathable and I found they help with my performance when I am working out because they have a bounce to them. So I feel the shoes assist me. Love the look as well! They stand out anywhere I go. Love these
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I preface this review by saying this is the first carbon fibre shoe that I've tried. First things first, the fit is great, I love that New Balance shoes have a wider fit than other brands such as Nike. The shoe is so comfortable and really helps with recovery after my runs. I tried them out for a few longish runs and they were great and I'll use them more when training for my next half. As for durability, they seem fine however I haven't used them for long enough to tell. Overall, I'm excited that New Balance has stepped into the era of carbon fibre shoes and have a lineup which competes with their competitors.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The New Balance V3 Fuel Trainer Supercomp shoes are some of the most comfortable trainers I’ve worn. From the moment I put them on, they felt incredibly soft and supportive,almost like running on clouds. The fit is snug but not tight, offering great stability without compromising comfort. They also look sleek and stylish on my feet, making them perfect for both workouts and casual wear. The breathable mesh keeps my feet cool during long sessions. Overall, a great combination of performance, comfort, durability, and design.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New Balance Women’s Fuelcell Supercomp trainer v3 is a great designed for women’s it’s carbon plated. Very comfy and very light weight shoes that you don’t even feel them. I have wide feet and so struggle with choosing great fits but these are the great fits. Thank you New Balance.
These sneakers are on another level. The design, comfort, and performance are unmatched. Perfect for those who don’t follow trends—they set them. Definitely made for rule breakers
Best shoes I’ve ever had. Struggled this year with marathon training and couldn’t settle on a shoe despite trying so many. This was suggested to me by my running store and wow, comfortable and so bouncy. I ran a massive PB in Berlin with them and now about to buy a second pair for London. Also PB in 5 mile and 10k race with them. I’m a big new balance wearer anyway, I have rebels for speed work and 1080 for easy distance but the Supercomp are incredible. Recommended to friends who agree they are a super shoe. Need more colours though as white isn’t the best.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely a try before you buy kind of shoe! My true size is a 7.5 and I love that these shoes come in half sizes to accommodate this. I'll be honest, I found these HARD to get on. But, once they were on they were honestly super comfortable, almost like a cloud for your feet! However, when it came to actually walking in them I hated the sensation of the curved platform, I felt like I was constantly going to trip over. I hope with time and practice I might lose that sensation, but there aren't certainly other sports shoes I'd reach for first!
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear that you’re not satisfied with the product design / technology of FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3. We appreciate your honesty sounds like they’re super comfy once on, but the initial struggle and the curved platform take some getting used to. Hopefully, with some time, walking in them feels more natural for you. Please be assured that we will take your comments into consideration as we evaluate these shoes. Thank you once again for sharing your experience; your input is invaluable in our efforts to improve.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The New Balance woman’s FuelCell supercomp trainer v3 are amazingly soft and comfortable on your feet. When you’re running or at the gym these feel absolutely weightless. I feel completely supported. I love wearing these at the gym. I feel like these trainers are true to size. With the knit outer I find my feet stay dry and don’t sweat at all. The fit is amazing they really hug your feet in all the right ways. Highly recommend to friends and family. Fantastic for the runners and gym.
