  • Runnea : 88.4 / 100 — « In New Balance's race & marathon lineup, the FuelCell SuperComp Elite v6 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (190 g, a 13.9 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for race & marathon training. »
  • RunRepeat : 87.6 / 100 — « New Balance has made its biggest improvement yet with the SuperComp Elite v6, and we think this is by far the best Elite to date... but it still trails the top racing shoes by a small margin. We loved the new A-TPU foam, lighter build, and solid traction, while the excellent breathability makes it a strong choice for any season. However, the aggressive heel design remains a concern for runners who need even a little support, while the substantial price increase makes it harder to choose over such strong competition. »
