FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
No, the SuperComp Elite v6 is designed for road and track performance and lacks the traction and protection required for technical trails.
Can I use these for daily walking?
While comfortable, they are engineered for running mechanics and may not provide the necessary support for prolonged walking or standing.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance SuperComp Elite v6 follows standard UK adult sizing conventions. We recommend using your current running shoe size as a reference.
How long will the foam and plate last?
Elite racing shoes generally provide peak performance for 200–400 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the carbon plate. Clean them by hand with a soft brush and mild soap.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability or ankle rolling during turns
Ensure the laces are tied using the 'runner's loop' to secure the heel, and avoid sharp, high-speed lateral cuts.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Use moisture-wicking synthetic socks and ensure the shoes are fully aired out between sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, verify your size using the UK scale; as a high-performance shoe, a precise fit is essential to prevent blisters. When setting up, ensure the laces are snug enough to lock the midfoot without restricting blood flow. Regarding care, these trainers are performance tools; avoid using them for muddy trail running or in harsh, abrasive conditions. After wet runs, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam.
