How it ranks
The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v2 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and looks are its strongest sub-ratings. Value scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 48 runner reviews and 2 other rated shoes in the FuelCell SuperComp Trainer product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
96/100
“The cushioning is awesome and saves the legs from getting bashed, yet has a very snappy energy return.”
“Ultra cushioned, surprisingly stable for such a high heel stack.”
“Sole wears down pretty quick, so for the price it is a bit expensive.”
“Comparable to the other carbon plate shoes on the market for half the price.”
“I run 50-90k/week and the shoes have held up well.”
“The cushioning makes it a great option as a trainer, but the extremely responsive foam and plate gives you that extra pop.”
“Really bad for trails and I twisted my ankle.”
“They made me feel like I was racing in a supershoe.”
“It is a bit lighter and has less bounce, but also less cushioning.”
“It's a very lightweight shoe so cushion is not the main priority, and you may feel that the next day depending on your workout.”

60 mpw training for 5K and 10K came from the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39
4/5
Overall
Only about two weeks of running in them but very comfortable and light. I run with orthotics in them and there’s plenty of space. Too soon to tell on the durability but I definitely like the road fee.

20 mpw training for a half marathon came from the ASICS Magic Speed 2
5/5
Overall
I've been running in this shoe for 4 months. I run 50-90k/week and the shoes have held up well, I've bought another pair to replace them when these are done. I haven't run in the competitions super cushioned shoes. But, my legs have never felt better after running 15-20k runs.

40 mpw training for a half marathon came from the New Balance 1080 v10
5/5
Overall
Very fast and bouncy shoe, a little expensive, but great for tempo, progression, and long runs. One of those shoes it's hard not to run in.
