The new supercomp elite v6 is super light yet springy and comfortable at the same time. I first demoed it at a local run club pop up event and immediately bought it for my upcoming marathon in October. The SC Elite v6 has continued to perform great and feel comfortable throughout my long training runs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it looks like an upgrade from the predecessor the SuperComp Elite V5. The ride on these feel bouncy, comfortable and more responsive than the previous iteration, solid traction running in the rain. The fit feels true to size, although the toe feels a bit narrow than previous version.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first carbon plated shoe ever. Amazing experience!! The shoe size was a men’s size 10. Felt true to size. The mid foot hugged comfortably and the toebox felt open and had enough wiggle toe room. The bounce felt great. The cushion felt soft and light. Highly recommended!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Test ran these shoes in Central Park under rainy conditions. They felt responsive and bouncy, yet pretty stable considering they're supershoes. My legs felt great running 4-5 miles in them. They held up great under the rain, and had great traction! I never slipped in the rain!
Two short runs on tarmac and the back/external outsole has almost completely to come off. They’re light but feel unstable. The upper shoe feels rigid-plasticky. If it wasn’t the only supeshoe made in 2E I would not have bought it. Not worth its full price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve run in the 5 a bunch, and right of the box the first thing I noticed with the 6, is how much lighter it is. The new foam also feels bouncier. Looking forward to putting this shoe through its paces!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shoes are light, bouncy and feel fast. Sole pushes you forward when you get up to speed without compromising for form at slower speeds. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought it was overall solid- compared to the v5 it feels much more like a true race shoe with how aggressive it is. The fit is just a little off- very tight from heel through midsole then it opens up too much in the toe box. I end up tying them so tight at the base to try to compensate (it’s a little bit the width but also the height of the toe box and how the narrow heel/mid forces your foot to sit at a specific angle). Tried the new rebel and the toe box was much more locked down and felt so comfortable while remaining snug
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quite poppy. A lot lighter than the previous versions. Keeps the same roomy fit for all day comfort.
Shoes are super light but i will only use it for half Marathon or full marathon race
