Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Light, comfy, plush & bouncy. They're somehow squishy while still being responsive. Enough cushion for comfort and support along with the responsiveness of an every day trainer. It's not as bouncy as v1 but it's definitely more stable.

With those qualifiers, here are my observations of the new balance fuelcell supercomp. I'm a hoka and altra guy but these new balances have out-hoka'd the hokas. Thank you so much to new balance for creating an amazing shoe.

Cons

The new version of this shoe is nothing like v1. The cushioning has decreased significantly. The upper has a very harsh lace seam just above the mid-foot area.

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness

I started looking into other brands for max cushion shoes and after much research settled on these shoes.

Hokas have lost their squish, so have a lot of altras, and they've tried to remain competitive with denser eva and recycled crap.

Most people looking at these shoes are probably serious runners, but i know there's gonna be some people with money to blow who... Read More
