[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable and lightweight. I really like how responsive they feel, especially when picking up the pace. They also feel great on easy runs and don’t feel bulky at all. Overall, really enjoying running in them so far!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent for speed workout. Felt very light on the feet and provided excellent support
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these shoes - they are both feel very light and are very bouncy. They have a thick amount of foam which I always like for my trainer. Plus they looks really good, they have that old school NB dad shoe look to them which I like. The only thing I think about is how long these will last. I usually run in SuperBlasts and can get 500 miles out of them. I feel like with the plate these might have a shorter lifespan than my normal trainers but I'll just have to stand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I threw on these shoes for my threshold workout and I absolutely loved it! The outsole is very plush and my legs never felt too fatigued at the end of my workout. I love the rocker and how the shoe propels you forward during quicker reps. I still felt like I had more left in me with fresh legs! Will be using these shoes often moving forward for my workouts :)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve put quite a few different types of runs into the New Balance SuperComp Rebel—short runs, longer runs, and several tempo workouts—and it has honestly exceeded my expectations. What I really like is how easy it is to enjoy the shoe at different paces. It feels light and responsive when I’m running faster, but there’s still enough cushioning and comfort to make longer runs feel good. The ride has a nice spring to it without feeling too aggressive, and I’ve found myself reaching for it more often than I expected. The fit has been great for me, too. My foot feels secure without the upper feeling tight or restrictive, and I’ve had no concerns with stability or traction. What has really stood out, though, is how well the shoe is holding up. Even after putting it through different types of workouts, it still feels fresh and retains that lively, responsive feel. Overall, the SuperComp Rebel has quickly become a very versatile shoe in my rotation.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my first carbon infused shoes and they definitely felt bouncier than my normal trainers (Brooks Ghosts & Hoka Cliftons). They feel a bit snug on the sides of the feet, but not in a restraining kind of way, and i sometimes get wide shoes. Looking forward to trying these with some speedwork
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tested on a fast 5k tempo run. Immediate step-in comfort, and the soft-to-firm foam transition from heel to toe is noticeable right away. The rocker geometry and bounce make it easy — even fun — to pick up the pace, and the shoe stays comfortable at easy warm-up paces too. Stability drops off on steep hills at the high stack height, and this isn’t a shoe I’d reach for on true speed work — anything faster than 5k pace starts to feel out of its comfort zone. Grip held up well in less-than-ideal conditions — solid traction on sandy sidewalks and cornering on sand-covered ramps, no slipping. Fit-wise: upper is comfortable with no lace bite, midfoot feels secure, and the heel locks down well enough that lace-lock tying isn’t necessary. Sizing runs small — I wear a 12 in most running shoes and sized up to a 12.5. Bottom line: A fun, bouncy tempo/daily-training shoe with a comfortable fit and dependable grip in imperfect conditions, best kept out of hill repeats and race-pace speed sessions
If, like me, you're in a situation where your feet are too wide for the standard fit, but you don't usually go for the 2E in your other shoes, I would advise going for the 2E in these. I'm a mens UK 9.5 and after trying the standard fit, I immediately found the upper too tight. But with the 2E, man it was comfortable! I usually wear thin running socks, so the length was perfect, although some may find them a bit short. In my first long run in these, the miles flew by....it was magical. They weren't insanely stable feeling for me, but the more I get used to this "race day" style shoe, I'm sure I'll be able to adapt. Bottom line: Try before you buy, but once you find the right fit and lacing, these are magical!
This shoe is perfect for me. An everyday shoe that has the bounce and trampoline effect pushing you forward helping you keep a steady pace. I can’t find anything wrong with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Super Comp Rebel might my favorite new training shoe. You can feel the bounciness immediately but because it's not a full carbon plate, it still offers flexibility.
