I picked up the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 to use for my race days and speed workouts, and they’ve quickly become a favourite in my running shoe rotation. The carbon plate and FuelCell foam make every stride feel explosive yet smooth, giving me that forward propulsion I want during tempo runs, intervals, and shorter races.
In fact, I recently set my 10K PR in these shoes!! Which shows just how well they translate speed and power into results.
The fit is secure and comfortable, with a snug midfoot lockdown that keeps my foot stable even during quick surges and repeated strides. No hot spots, no slipping – just consistent, responsive performance from start to finish. They’re lightweight but still supportive, making them perfect for faster runs where every ounce of energy matters.
Overall, I think this is an excellent race day and speed workout shoe. They feel fast, efficient, and reliable. If you’re looking to add a carbon plated shoe into your rotation, I’d consider these a top contender.
