New Balance Fuelcell SC Trainer v3 | Full Review 

Thomas needs to work on his poker face. I don’t believe for a second that he likes this shoe.

The bloopers laughter is contagious. Thank you.

What will it take to get a red light, even a blister is not doing it 😂

I just brought a new Fuelcell SC Trainer v1 for 600 RMB=USD $84. Really happy with the shoe, great to replace my Prime X after 900Km.

Once I heard “pretty nasty blister”, that did it for me. I’m out. There are wayyyy too many other options out there that won’t do that kind of damage.

Happy with mine, did 16 miles the other weekend in the rain, fantastic ride! Switch it up to Elite V4, omg! Can’t wait to use the Elite V4 for race day! ❤

"Don't get too excited about the PEBA" - Why I love this channel.

Just got these n the superblast love the SBs running these tomorrow excited

I don't think they are contractually allowed to give a new balance shoe a red light 😂. I'm reading between the lines on this one😉

Original "Super trainer" is the Tempo Next%. Love that shoe, have 3 pairs. One at over 1100km (treadmill only now), one at 750km, and one at 150km and all still in use. Not really sure why they have the PEBA blend % so low. Numerous shoes are using 100% PEBA both with and without plates and it does fine. Only thing I can think of is a cost cutting feature....charge the same as everything else, but have reduced costs?

STICK AROUND FOR THE OUTTAKES at the end 😂

I had the big toe rub too! Ahh! I hope the material stretches and/or I can figure out a lockdown. Going a half size up would make the shoe way too long for me. Otherwise I loved the ride.

I've ran around a 100k total in SC Trainer v3 and sure, they're really nice and comfy daily trainers. But at this price tag I'd choose Superblast 2 anytime. For me SB2 feel better on the long runs and on the tempo sessions. With SC Trainers v3 something was missing, but I can't put a name to it 😂

Just picked up a pair at Brooklyn Running Co in Williamsburg, and did my first 5k along the water front. I must say, I love them! Been running in V2 for a while, and there are 3 main differences out of the box. 1) you can feel the plate. 2) the toe box seems narrower (to the point that I tried a 1/2 size up and almost convinced myself that was the way to go). 3) the foam is firmer. Those 3 points are all *very* noticeable, and also pretty consistent with most online reviews so far... which had certainly put me off even trying them, let alone buying them. But 5km in... no more than a little break-in jog on a sunny day... and 1) the plate feeling melts away, just leaving the lovely stable "pop" off every step (i.e. same as you get in the V2, which is a fantastically fun feeling if you haven't tried it!), 2) the toe box stretches nicely, molding around your foot to provide a perfectly structured upper (which IMO is better than the "baggy sock" feeling of V2), 3) the foam *is* firmer... and I think that's actually going to prove to be a good thing, as hopefully it will be more durable than the V2 (I remember getting about 100km into the V2 and thinking "wow, the foam has gone from bouncy to squidgy," which was fine, but didn't give me a consistent ride throughout the lifetime of the shoe. I think the V3 will give me that). Overall, I'm super happy so far. And I'm looking forward to pounding some miles with them in the coming months. See you out there!

I do miss the high stack in the v2. I'm absolutely in love with the v1 ! Plus that the price has gotten progressively out of control. The v2 was a disgusting 230 euro, and the v3 is at 250, the same as a Metaspeed Paris, or an Adios Pro 3 at full price (and that shoe can be found at nice discounts).

Worst blisters of any shoe I’ve ever run in! Had to return them and picked up Endorphin Speed 4.

I love this shoe- first run this morning was fabulous. I love the cushion and the rocker. Last pair was version 2- and I did experience a big toe blister on those too with long runs. ordered 1/2 size larger in this newer version and that seems to have fixed it.

Bloopers are much better than the Shoe.

New Balance just messed up their new line-up. I’ve gotten blisters in the Rebel V4’s, and sure thing: blisters again when I tried these.

I already have SCE v4, more v5, and the Rebel v4 Which I do not like. but I also have the On Cloud Eclipse, and I am finding out of all my shoes I wear the SCE v4 the more v5s and the SCT V1 more than any of my other shoes and I have a lot. I wear my 1080 v13s, and my On Cloud Eclipse as a comfort soft recovery shoe!!

First run this morning in the rain. Love it out of the box.

For the people getting blisters with this shoe, try getting the wide version. It has a bit more room giving it a better fit for me.

Thanks for the review. Glad to see Baltimore being represented. Hit your "finish" line sometimes on my long runs.

I tried this one and it is firm, nothing like v1 or 2 , prefer the skyward from hoka

Who knew the intro was so hard??!! :) Way to persevere 😊

Loved my SC Trainer v1, V2 was ok, so not sure about trying the V3

Congrats on your 100k subs! Love your reviews!

Did 13 miles in mine when I first got them, and 17 miles on Sunday. I had a mens size 12 in the v2 and got a 12 2E (wide) in the v3. So far I'm very happy with it. I think it will soften up a little as we go too. It's more propulsive than v2.

congrats on 100,000 subscribers 🎉🎉🎉

I miss those between 2 shoes episodes. Are you going to be those again?

Have owned v1 and 3 V2’s. This version just felt too chunky/clunky. It may be the same weight and stack but it feels bigger.

I think the answer is they need a yellow light.

The v2 is a great shoe. Wish I could find pair in 10.5.

Congrats on 100K!! Does that mean you're doing a 100K race? Lol

Can't wait to try them out I still love my V1's

Please review the mag Max!

I am enjoying the v3! but for me nothing compares to the v1. I think that was my favorite shoe of all time and I miss it

Still waiting for new balance to re stock the blue and white colorway for men, been excited for this shoe for awhile now

I still choose v1 over v2 I don't have v3 and probably will not.

Having worn all three, these did not fit true to size for me at all. They ran about a half size too short. I had to send them back because my toes were absolutely crammed in this shoe. Same issue with the Rebel v4. I’ve never had a fit issue with NB until those two updates.

Just got back from doing 15km moderate run in these, I have a Greek shape foot and my second toe (longest) is in a lot of pain, the shoes are definitely not too short as I normally allow a bit of extra room and this is also evidenced by the insole. The problem is there is barely any cushioning between the carbon plate and your foot, so the carbon plate is quite prevalent right through but especially at the toes. I’m not sure whether I could add extra padding of if I should just sell them now.

I am conflicted about this shoe. It looks like my 1080 v13, Rebel V4 and SC Trainer V2 had a Ménage a trois at a marathon major (pick one), thus the SC Trainer V3 was born. I really like my SC Trainer V2, but for the upper bunching and the sole wear. In my 42+ years running, never have I had sole wear like this - a divot underneath my left ring finger toe. My 2 pairs of Rebel V4's aren't this bad. I might have to retire the SC Trainer V2 in 40 miles (300) at this rate. Irrespective of price, the Pacer V2 intrigues me more than the SC Trainer V3. Hopefully a snugger upper fit and built for smaller runners like myself.

Congrats on 100k subs!

Good afternoon. Fantastic description. Like to Meaghan and Thomas. Have a great day.

Based on how much new balance have increased their prices I wonder how many shoes they sell. I used do be New Balance user but I have moved away to other brands that have the same attributes but at much lover price

I tried the black ones but I want those blue ones

Is it possible to retain the feel of V1 and only change the appearance design to show that it is no longer a sc trainer series?

Same foam as the rebel! Big pass for me that was way too soft. Even with a plate the energy return won’t be there

Bloopers are back! 😀

Ding Ding 100k! Congrats @BelieveInTheRun gang

After having done three 50k+ runs I'm these, I agree with all the points here: • Takes ~10 miles to really break in • Firmer than expected given the foam stack • Absolutely terrible toe blisters the likes if which I've never experienced before • I'll also add the arch support is poor compared to the other Fuel Cell shoes. Given these actually cause me pain to run in, the SC Trainer v3s are a sad and disappointing pass for me. I love the Rebel v4s, but the SC Trainer v3s are not fit for the same foot at all.

congrats 100k!

Couldn’t find the V2 in my size in Canada 🇨🇦. Till this day

I went up to size 11 in normally wear a 10.5

Just a shame that here in Europe it's crazy expensive, 250 €. That's more then the Vaporfly.

I've the ASICS Novablast 4 which are superb. I have a pair of NB 9060 for my everyday casual shoe and I rate NB for comfort. But for running how would you compare this NB runner with the ASICS Novablast 4?

I enjoyed v2 but that channel is a deal breaker. Picks up everything.

Please which is most max bouncy spring cushion puma magmax or sc elite v4 or sc triner v3

How would you compare this to the SC Trainer V2

SB/SB V2 > FC SC Trainer v3 EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

Re: 0:33 Nike called its LD-1000 a "super trainer" in 1977.

This shoe is not adored by many runners. I returned mine as well.

Why sc elite v4 expensive more than sc trainer

Nope, not the sock. Definitely rubbing on the big toe. Not happy about this.

Why he doesn't smile or have the same gains during the whole video as he is at the end??

Balos is better, I had issues with my big toe smashing into the side of the v3..returned it

100k Subscribers ❤❤❤

Blisters and a green light? Don’t Believe in the Run !

And here’s Thomas McGigglesome… 😂

This shoe is very expensive in Europe, same as some super shoes

100k🎉

Not 1st. 🏃🏽‍♂️‍➡️

Sounds like they completwly ruined the shoe. Which is what most brands have done to their shoes in recent years. I loved the V2. But the v3 kinda looks like it sucks

261 gram, 250€,...hard pass for me. Not sure what's so "super" about a super trainer that gives you blisters and weighs 22 gram more than the Asics Superblast.

🍺 to cheer up thomas- very uncharacteristic this video!

First from the Philippines

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why are women colors always better than men's?

Have owned v1 and 3 V2’s. This version just felt too chunky/clunky. It may be the same weight and stack but it feels bigger.
