Just got back from doing 15km moderate run in the SC Trainer V3, 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 use Superblast for long runs - is Superblast 2 worth the upgrade? Also,, can SC Elite V4 be better for long runs? I am talking 15-30km runs at cca 05:00/km pace. thanks,
@@henya2409 there isn't much between the Superblast models...very similar. I honestly prefer the SC Elite v4 over all these shoes for a long run shoe. Lighter, softer, more bounce and most of all more fun. I do my long runs at about the same pace as you also. I'm a pretty light guy so I don't get much bounce out of either Superblast. If you like a softer ride then the Elite v4 is worth a shot.
@@run-are 🙏Many thanks. I watch A LOT of running shoe content and I'm very familiar with all the main channels and runners and it is safe to say that your reviews and feedbacks are up with the very best. Thanks a lot for your work - greetings from Hungary, Europe! 👊
I have run 920km in Superblast 1, and 50km in Elite v4. Personally, the Elite v4 is bouncier, more comfortable, and has a seamless transition from 06:00/km to 04:30/km... it just works at all speeds and is SMOOOOTH. SB1's on the other hand seemed to be clunky and too stiff if slower than 5:30/km, but excel when hitting 5:00/km or faster... it seems to be a tempo/long distance shoe ideally. I am about 65kg, so not heavy enough to easily bend the SB1 unless i am running fast. Overall, i would prefer the V4 (i wish they would lengthen the tongue a bit though lol) for long runs
@@geoffwheeler6602 Ahh yes I remember! Sorry if I was a bit quiet that day I was a little shy, I'm not used to anyone recognising me 😂😂😂 Great news on the SC Trainer!
Very much a long run and easy day shoe, which is it’s in intended purpose. As runners when we rant about how the v1 and v2 are good race day options the brand listens to that. They don’t want us racing in anything but the shoes they label as race day shoes.
Thank you but is there difference between sc elite v4 and sc trainer v3 ?? Why there is difference for price the two shoes same midsole same stack height..@@run-are
@@mohammedkratos4352 the foams are totally different even though they both say Fuelcell. The elite is pure super foam (peba) and the trainer only has a Peba mix. The elite has less padding and is lighter. Id personally just go with the elite over the trainer
@@johnsonch7292 the Neo Vista is best on the market in my opinion. Softer, more bounce, more energy return, smoother, more efficient, more versatile just not as durable as the Superblast. I have run a half marathon in it at tempo pace and it was also amazing. Bootie upper looks a bit weird but it's very effective for my foot. It probably feels a bit strange to walk in because of the heel bevel.
Very good comparison vid and your comment on the person's weight is also very relevant to the ride and something many shoetubers don't bother to mention.... let's say I'm 72 kilos which is relatively light......but most runners you see at marathons and park runs are indeed on average 10kg heavier...so it's like running whilst carrying two 5 kilogram weights in each hand...which will compress the foam a lot more.....my take is the heavier runners need to lay off the squishy stuff if they want to reduce their times.
Good video, I've loved the SC Trainer V1 for my long runs and recovery days. I wonder, between the SC Trainer V2 and V3, which one is more resemble to the V1? (ride sensation wise)
@@adr673 I don't think either resembles the V1 which is a bit of a shame. The foam only in the V3 is probably a little closer but the rocker is totally different. Although I haven't run in it yet, I think the ASICS Glideride Max may be a ride similar to the SC Trainer V1 🤞🏽
@@adr673 have you checked out the Mizuno Neo Vista? The foam in that one is similar to the V1. Rocker is a little different but it works better for me than the SCv1
@@run-are ever since its launch, the Neo Vista has been on my radar, I'll give it a try if I can get it in my country (Mizuno has no part in the chilean market since 2012 I guess). I can get it on my trips though!
LMAO ok buddy, over 90% of runners are heel strikers whether they want to believe it or not. Have you had run mapping done or are you just assuming because you think you are a bad ass? You do realize striking with heel or midfoot or forefront doesn't matter, what matters is form and follow through.
The comparison video I've been waiting for.

Good comparison as a lot of hobbyist are comparing super trainers. I wonder how the Balos compares.

Superblast!!
then maybe Glideride Max? Balos?

Same size for the SC trainer 3 as SC Elite V4?

SC trainer 3 sounds like a recovery shoe with the slow rebound..

Hello bro ... Can you help me which shoe springy bouncy cushion puma magmax or sc trainer v3
