New Balance Men's FuelCell Rebel V4 Running Shoe

I have two pairs of this shoe, I bought my first pair after trying them on in a store and I immediately loved the way they felt. I bought my second pair (pictured) from Amazon because the colors are nice, and I needed another pair to use exclusively outside of work. I'm very tempted to buy a few other colors. My other pair is black and white, and I appreciate how the black is slightly purple and the white is slightly grey. Anyway, it's great these shoes caught my eye because they don't just look good. The soles have a soft cushiony feeling and the uppers live up to their name: "FantomFit." They are my favorite shoes for 12 hr shifts as a bedside RN, setting PRs in 1mi and 5k, and going out for food, drink, etc. Although these shoes are cushy, they are also responsive and fast. When running shorter distances I simple don't think much about them and they help me do my thing and yes it's in these shoes I broke my records for 1mi and 5k despite owning carbon shoes Nike Vaporfly 3 and Fuelcell Supercomp Elite v3. Probably because I'm more likely to take these shoes out daily. There are however two things I don't like about these shoes: 1) the upper material seems prone to abrasion, and 2) I'd get sore on long distance. I washed my 1st oair once and used a brush on the upper of the right shoe, little broken fabric filaments are now visible all over the upper hence I simply did not scrub the left one. In general both my pairs do not show much signs of other wear so I think the main thing is to not scrub the uppers. My second issue is that I could run more than 17.3 miles in these shoes. I had bad upper foot pain on two of my long runs in training for my first marathon in December 2024. I suspect, the upper foot pain may have been caused by form modifications from other pain on my soles then knees. Because of this the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 won the toss-up for my marathon shoes. With that said, 17.3 miles is quite a long distance already and there could have been other factors that may have contributed to my pain. I must mention that the Adios is a dedicated road-running shoe and is more expensive. I wouldn't want to work a 12 hour shift in them because they feel funny when not running. I also must mention that these shoes are awesome on the treadmill as well as the road/sidewalk. While $140 isn't cheap, I consider it a good value for how good they are and how how they compare to more expensive shoes.

Fantastic running shoe. Very lightweight, but sturdy. Fits a bit snug, but still comfortable. I’d recommend trying one on before buying. The price here is amazing, but make sure it’s a good shoe for you. It’s a popular running shoe for a reason!

Excellent, soft cushioning, extremely lightweight. I followed suggestions and sized up a half a size. I’m not a runner, so these are work shoes and they’ll do great. Very thin upper material is only concern. Not sure how durable. Look nice, not overly narrow tie box. Thumbs up!Edit: after a day at work, standing on concrete floors, these are amazing. Super soft and thick cushioning, very lightweight and not overly narrow. Awesome. Def size up 1/2 size

Fit was true to size. Super comfortable and light. I’ve tried many brands and different shoes. These will definitely be in my rotation of running shoes. I’ve already put 16 easy miles on these shoes with no issues whatsoever.

Did a lot of research around this product, below are my learnings after purchasing.- they do run a bit small. I wear a men 9 and had to return my first pair for 9.5.- they are very soft, but not as squishy as the Nike invincible 3.- I have plantar fasciitis and want something comfortable for all day wear. These do pretty well, but I do have minor heel pain after wearing them for a while. I wear inserts for my PF, but wanted a shoe that I didn’t need to switch out inserts constantly. I have already had to put my inserts in these. The insert that comes in the shoe does not provide major arch support and it is thin.- the color is amazing and the shoes are well made.Overall, I am happy and will be keeping the shoe. I think there are other options that are equal or better, just depends on what you’re looking for.Price is fair.

These felt really lightweight and wellmade and great design. Unfortunately, I had to return them. I have 4E wide feet and even after ordering both a wide width and sizing up, they still felt too tight.I think these would be an excellent fit for anyone with standard or slightly wide feet, but if you need extra wide sizing like I do, they may not work out. I really wanted to keep them, but when running long distance, comfort has to come first.

This just came in the mail, it was on sale for 109.99. At first they weren't great and were kind of uncomfortable, very snug. But I replaced the insoles from another NB shoe, and now they feel perfect. Really glad I didn't have to return it because the white/white color isn't common on most models. They are much more squishy than my old MoreFoamv3 and daily 1080v12s. High stack and super light weight, has a rocker shape bottom. These are my new favorite dailywear shoes. The best New Balance shoe and only 110 bucks.
