New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3
Features
Get fired up by the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3’s combination of softness and speed.
This carbon-plated shoe gives you plenty of cushion, forward propulsion and bounce to rack up the miles and keep you moving forward.
During our New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 review, run tester Travis said, “The FuelCell cushioning is very bouncy and fun to run in, and the rocker geometry keeps my momentum moving forward. The carbon-fiber plate gives the midsole some much-needed rigidity that keeps the bouncy cushioning more responsive.”
Details:
- Upper: An engineered mesh upper feels sleek and smooth.
- Midsole: New Balance’s bouncy and cushioned FuelCell foam is combined with a carbon plate and Energy Arc geometry for an effortless experience on your runs.
- Outsole: There is enhanced traction in the forefoot and heel that can help on rainy runs, while New Balance’s Energy Arc geometry leaves an open outsole channel to give you plenty of propulsion.

Very solid/Stiff
I love new balance typically. Never tried anything other than their daily trainer 10 or rebel V4. But these are Just solid bricks. Even at a higher tempo when the carbon plate should be beneficial they still feel like bricks.

New Balance running shoes
My 15yo Cross Country runner said these are the most comfortable shoes he has ever had, and he has experienced no knee pain while running for the first time. His only complaint is some slight tightness on toe/ pinky toe area.
