Verdict

The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 is one of the top-rated shoes in its class — a speed trainer scoring 91/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 234g, it is notably lightweight for a speed trainer. The 40mm heel stack — a maximal stack — delivers a plush and deeply cushioned ride at 22 HC, returning 80% of impact energy and feeling exceptionally bouncy underfoot. Geometrically, the FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 32mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 94mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. Wider than most carbon shoes. Good for daily use. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for daily speed training, tempo runs, half marathon, 5k to 10k racing, and performs less well for full marathon racing or recovery.
