Product Information

Full details

The New Balance SuperComp Rebel is a high-performance trainer designed for male runners seeking a balance of speed and comfort, particularly those training for personal bests or incorporating mixed-pace workouts. It delivers a highly energetic ride through its supercritical foam and carbon-infused plate technology, though its low-volume, close-fitting upper may require runners with wider feet to trial the fit carefully.

FAQs

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the SuperComp Rebel?

This model features a 4mm drop.

Is this shoe suitable for daily training?

Yes, it is designed as a trainer for mixed-pace weeks and can handle daily mileage, though its technology is optimized for performance and speed.

Does the shoe run true to size?

It features a close-fitting, low-volume shape; if you prefer extra toe-box room, you may want to consider a half-size up.

Can I use these for racing?

While intended as a high-performance trainer, the energy return from the carbon plate and Infinion foam makes them very capable for race-day efforts.

How should I clean the engineered mesh upper?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not submerge or use harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Feeling tightness across the top of the foot

Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelets where pressure is highest to open up the volume.

Heel slippage

Use the runner's loop (lace lock) method with the extra eyelet to secure the heel against the back of the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from the supercritical foam
  • Stable platform for a plated shoe
  • Efficient forward-rocking ride geometry
  • Secure lockdown with gusseted tongue construction

Cons

  • Close-fitting, low-volume upper may be restrictive
  • Low 4mm drop may not suit all runner biomechanics
  • Firm ride might feel different to runners used to softer foam trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, lace the shoe to take full advantage of the gusseted tongue. Ensure the midfoot is snug but not constricting, as the upper is designed for a close, precision fit.

Care instructions:

  • Clean after muddy runs using a soft brush and mild soap.
  • Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the supercritical foam structure.
  • Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
  • Check the outsole periodically for debris lodged in the tread patterns to maintain optimal grip.
