New Balance brings the race day feeling of energy-return technology to a high milage training shoe. The new FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v2 is designed to look, feel, and perform differently. In this execution of new Energy Arc technology, an arched carbon fiber plate is sandwiched between two layers of FuelCell cushioning, leaving a hollow channel through the middle of the shoe. The plate is flattened into the void with each foot strike, and returns energy as it reshapes, creating a high rebound sense of propulsion.

Roomy and comfortable
Great daily trainer running shoe. Did 10 miles right out of the box and by the end of the run, no hot spots or soreness. 9 wide seemed a tad too big, but with a good pair of running socks and feet swelling, the fit was great and comfortable. Laces didn't need to be tied too tight for the secure feel. Definitely adds some pop and spring back to running and I noticed a bit faster times.Overall great shoe and I'd actually chose this over some of my other daily trainers (mostly Asics) for the comfort, cushion, and responsiveness. The Asics Superblast comes the closest followed by my Novablast.

Hoka & Altra convert.
I'm a Hoka and Altra guy but these New Balances have out-Hoka'd the Hokas.Hokas have lost their squish, so have a lot of Altras, and they've tried to remain competitive with denser EVA and recycled crap. I'm just catching up, learning that New Balance, Asics, Nike and others have joined the high stack height category with better offerings than Hokas in many cases. Cliftons are still great and I have some Mafate Speed 4s, so I know about ProFly midsoles which are better than their junk EVA.These New Balances are light, comfy, plush & bouncy. They're somehow squishy while still being responsive. They are supple, yet stable. I love them. I have started running again because of them.

Very comfortable running shoes!
My buddy is crazy and runs like 15 miles a day in Texas..so he posted a picture of these shoes in a different color and I really like them however, I could not find them online..Instead, I found these and bought them at a discount price on Amazon. I ended up swapping the shoelaces for a green/yellow shoelace that matches the bottom of the shoe and I use them when I go running and I absolutely love them because they’re so comfortable and funky looking. I’d recommend these to my friends and family.

My favorite running shoes
Enough cushion for comfort and support along with the responsiveness of an every day trainer. Quality of these and appearance are top notch. The color of the white looking shoe is more so a very light grey, which I like because it increases durability when it comes to holding up to stains from dirt and such. The fit is standard so buy the shoe size that you typically buy and you should be more than happy with these shoes.

Fun, but not durable
These are hands down my favorite shoes for logging miles now, legs are surprisingly not beat up after many 20 milers in these dogs. Personally I think they work for tempo runs also but I know many others disagree. That said, having gone through 2 pairs of v2 already I’m getting 350-375 miles before they’re toast. Got 500 miles out of v1 so that’s really disappointing. They’re obviously not trail shoes but i’ve been using them for trail runs after replacing them to squeeze more miles out of them on the softer ground. Hope NB improves durability with v3

Great!
The most comfortable, running shoes I’ve ever owned! If you are a heavier runner, you need these shoes.

Amazing running shoe for heavier runners 6.2ft tall 280lbw
I recently got back into running after gaining a bunch of weight. I had owned 8 pairs of brooks over the years and had great luck with them when I was in the military but since I got out and put on a bunch of weight I had not been able to find a brooks shoes to help me get back into running (brooks doesn’t really have any max cushion shoes at this time). I bought a glycerin gts which worked great but lack of cushion would leave my knees and hips hurting because of all the extra weight that I put on. I started looking into other brands for max cushion shoes and after much research settled on these shoes. These shoes have performed better than expected. I can run longer and when I’m done my knees and joints do not hurt nearly as bad as they did in my other shoes. Highly recommend it for any heavier runners looking to get back into running.

Poor quality
Great shoes/comfort but feel apart in less than a month. Very disappointed.
