New Balance  FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

I love this shoe, it perfectly compliments my rotation as a plated long run shoe, I have the zoom fly 6s as well, but these feel better underfoot. I have had 6 pairs of new balances and every pair has been amazing.

I really love this shoe! It’s my 4th attempt at a carbon-plated shoe. I have wide feet and originally found another brand that I liked, but the next year that model was too narrow. I then tried 2 other brands’ carbon-plated offerings with great pain at about mile 6. The only drawback I noticed about this shoe (and have now put about 60 miles on them) was that I didn’t think they gave me the fatigue-fighting energy return to the extent that I had experienced it with other carbons, so I ordered (and have just received) the FuelCell SuperComp Elite. But I will not stop running in this shoe. I love it! Just took it on my long run this morning.

The best shoes, super comfy, I love them but I love more the color and the style.

I usually wear size 9D for NB and these fit perfectly out of box in size 9s. The toe box is roomy and the gusseted tongue is a nice touch. The carbon plate is not in-your-face noticeable but the shoes do have a stiffer sensation over the Fresh Foam models (looking at you 880s and 1080s). I bought these thinking they would be both great for easy distance runs and tempo training but was a bit disappointed in the underfoot feel. While incredibly fun to run for tempo, at slower pace the shoes lose their bite and feel a bit dead. The outsole is also very thin so caution if running on rougher terrain.

Great for daily runs at medium to high speeds. They are definitely not comfortable for walking or short, slower-paced runs. If you are getting back into running or are a beginner runner, this may not be the best option for you. I am returning to training and running after 5 years. My first 3 runs were 3 miles each and it was quite uncomfortable and painful in the arch of my foot due to the carbon plate. I just bought the Fresh Foam 1080v14. I will go back to using these shoes once I am ready. Although these did not work for me for now, I have definitely become a loyal NB customer.

Poor durability They didn’t even get to 200km before starting to fail. At 250km there was less than .5mm of foam under forefoot. And my shinsplints came back. “Wear and tear” i’m told from new balance

I purchased these shoes from a local running store in n April 2025. Within a month, the insoles began to fail on me. They back themselves out the shoe and jam the heel

Great daily running shoes . Grippy. Comfortable (my feet, chins, knees, hips, and back feel great. Great for daily running and long runs. Highly recommend them.

Great trainers, cushioned ride, protects you very well at higher mileage.

Probably a good pair of running trainers if they fit you properly, but they don't work for my feet. I have several pairs of New Balance running shoes in wide fit (SC Elite v4, 1080s, 860s, Rebels) that all fit well, but the SC Trainer v3 is not wide enough across the mid foot for me - the outside of my foot ends up on top of the rubber edging from the midsole and would be very uncomfortable. Had to return without running in them so can't comment on running performance. Quality seemed good other than the mid foot fit and they were wide in the toe box.
