Scores better than 96% of all shoes.
Our ratings use detailed reviews from knowledgeable runners, ratings for shoes in the same product line, and reliable product information from trusted retailers.
Rankings combine runner ratings, whether reviewers say they'd buy a shoe again, direct comparisons to other shoes, related product-line performance, and trusted external ratings.
The darker band shows the central rating range. The lighter band shows a wider range of reasonable outcomes. More reviews for this shoe usually narrow both bands.

I love my New Balance Rebels, but they started showing visible wear on the upper after only a couple months of training. I’ve had them about a year but only ran in them for about 5 months. I wish I had only worn them for running and hadn’t walked in them or worn them to work as much.

I use this shoe for everything from easy training runs to racing. I will also race in Adios Pro or other carbon plated super shoes, but nothing beats the feel and comfort of the Rebel for me. So lightweight and minimal compared to super shoes, which allows you to feel the ground me, but it also has a surprising amount of "pop" and responsiveness. You can find the previous model for under $100 online. Value is unbeatable.

The NB Rebel V2 looks fast and feels fast compared to many other daily trainers. The upside is it's also a nice race day shoe on the road up to the marathon distance for those not interested in a 2nd mortgage to buy expensive plated shoes when not being paid to race.

Light and springy. Fits like a sock. Upper doesn’t last long though.
