Run, don't walk! My favorite New Balance FuelCell Rebel V4 running shoes just dropped to $87

Tom's Guide3 days ago

If you've been waiting for the summer sales to update your running shoes, I've got good news — the New Balance summer sale just dropped, and right now you can get the excellent New Balance FuelCell Rebel V4 for just $87, down from $139 at New Balance.
The tempo training shoes are designed to be a training companion to one of New Balance's faster carbon fibre running shoes. They are lightweight and bouncy, perfect for tempo runs and faster speed training, as well as races.
The FuelCell Rebel V4 is on sale at New Balance directly. You'll need to enter the code JUNE25 at checkout to get the extra 20% off. At the time of writing, the shoe is on sale in both the men's and women's colorways, and there are still plenty of sizes and colors available. Act quickly, though — this deal won't be around for long!
If you're looking for a running shoe, you can do most of your training runs in, that's still fast and bouncy on race day, you can't go wrong with the Rebel V4.
It's got New Balance's faster FuelCell running foam — the same as that used in the brand's faster, carbon fibre shoes. It's a bouncy, propulsive running shoe, and if you don't want to buy a second shoe to race in, it's a fantastic choice.
I've been reviewing running shoes for the past decade, and was impressed with the FuelCell Rebel V4, which I used as my tempo and long run shoe when marathon training.
You don't want to wear your carbon fibre running shoes too much ahead of race day, as they typically have a shorter shelf life than most running shoes, so these are a good alternative. The shoe is bouncy and responsive underfoot, and copes well with slower miles, as well as faster sessions.
The shoe has since been replaced with the New Balance FuelCell Rebel V5, but don't let this put you off. Often, the best running shoes are last season's as they offer similar performance at a better price, and this is the case here. The Rebel V4 is still a decent shoe, and at $87, it's a fantastic deal.

I'm ditching my New Balance shoes for these Skechers on my 3 mile runs — here's why

I've relied on New Balance Fresh Foam running shoes for years. I think they offer great arch support and are super comfortable to wear, and in my opinion are some of the best running shoes. But I didn't know that I was missing a whole other level of comfort until I tested the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0. They are so comfortable to wear even just for walking around, but when I took them on a run for the first time I set a new PR for my 3-mile run. I have been relying on the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 sneakers for runs for over a month and they have incredible bounce to help me move faster with fewer aches and pains. So yes, the change in shoes has made me a little faster but the comfort and support from them alone makes it worth the change. The midsole of the shoe is made from memory foam and a PU (polyurethane) foam which, when put together, creates a bouncy and springy walk. The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat technology also provides further cushioning for high intensity exercise. The sole has a two-inch lift and I could really feel the effect of this from the shock absorption the shoe offers. My poor knees bear the brunt of the effects of my running, and in the weeks I have used these sneakers I haven't had any aches or pains. I have also noticed the elevation from the sole means I am leaning forward ever so slightly, so the shoes will automatically propel you forward with every step you take. These shoes are totally breathable and kept my feet far cooler than my usual New Balances. And while the mesh upper of the shoe makes for a cool running experience, it's not so great for running in the rain.

Skechers are of course known for their breathability, but I didn't quite understand the hype until trying these out. While the Goga Mat technology works to cushion the show, it also has a cooling effect. This is also in the Skechers' Go Run Elevate 2.0 sneakers and makes them extremely comfortable to wear for long periods. We have awarded the Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 a coveted 4-stars. They are a great option for new runners as the elevated sole makes them bouncy, and they are lightweight to make every step easy. Most Skechers shoes come with a wide fit option, but I would say the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 run wide anyway. While I have narrow feet, there was more than enough room in the regular fit version of these sneakers. That meant there was plenty of room in the toe box and no squished toes in sight, This is an issue I find with a lot of sneakers I wear, where the toe box tapers to almost a point. While the Skechers still have a flattering shape, they are not constrictive. I have very arched feet from years of ballet training, so when I don't have enough support from my shoes I really feel it. And as a chronic Doc Martens wearer, I know the impact of an uncomfortable shoe. By having extra support in the arch area of my foot, my runs have become more comfortable, but that's not the best part. Usually a little while after a run, my arches can become slightly sore without the right support, and this is something I was experiencing with my previous running shoes. Since switching to Skechers I haven't had any aches. I will definitely be sticking with Skechers for my short runs from now on. For longer runs I would still go down the route of a sturdier shoe like the Asics Novablast 5, but for short training runs where you need to prioritize comfort? I can't recommend these Skechers enough.
