FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?

While durable, the SuperComp Elite v6 is specialized for racing and high-speed efforts; for daily training, a more traditional trainer is often recommended to preserve the racing shoe's specialized materials.

What is the drop of the SuperComp Elite v6?

The shoe has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.

Can I use these for trail running?

No, these are strictly designed for road surfaces. The high stack height is not suitable for the uneven terrain found on trails.

How long will the cushioning last?

Racing shoes typically have a shorter lifespan than standard trainers due to their ultralight construction. Performance is generally expected to be peak up to 200-300 miles depending on running surface and individual gait.

Is the carbon-fiber plate removable?

No, the carbon-fiber plate is integrated into the midsole during the manufacturing process to ensure consistent energy return.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels unstable during cornering

Due to the 40mm stack height, ensure your foot strike is landing centered; try shortening your stride slightly on sharp turns.

Difficulty getting a secure fit

Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'lace lock' technique with the top eyelet to prevent heel slippage and improve lockdown.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight at 155g
  • High energy return via carbon-fiber plate
  • Responsive Infinion A-TPU cushioning
  • Effective for long-distance racing

Cons

  • High stack height requires adjustment period
  • Not intended for daily training or uneven terrain
  • Limited stability compared to stability-focused shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance and longevity, wear the shoes for a few short test runs before using them in a race to allow the materials to adapt to your foot strike. As these are racing-specific, they are compatible with neutral running mechanics on road surfaces.

For care, avoid machine washing or drying, which can compromise the foam density and the carbon-fiber plate. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the insoles become wet, remove them and let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the integrity of the cushioning.
