    I have a chronic hip pain which, sadly, rears its ugly head usually about 45mins into a run. I realized I can go for a couple of hours on the Novablast 4. So your opinion on how protective the NB4 is on long runs is on point.

    The size of the NB rebel seems smaller on other brands. I bought asics nimbus 26, adidas boston 12 and rebel v4 at size 42 but NB rebel v4 looks and fit smaller despite having same size

    • @allen.9
      @allen.9 4 месяца назад

      yeah it sucks, you have to half size up. i thought I was crazy when I tried on my normal size, just for it to be a half size small. there was an similar issue with the 1080v12 where you had to get a half size down. i worked at new balance for a while and still never understand what the hell the designers were thinking lmfaoo

    These two could definitely coexist in a rotation.
    I noticed the arch in the Rebel V3. If you try a Skechers shoe later, switching the insole also helps decrease the Skechers lump.

    First, your a beast with those miles( run a few for me). 2nd, I watch a lot of shoe reviews and I do like yours best, I’m an army guy and it’s alway better to have to much info then to little. Lastly, I always hear things like, “ shoes is missing that pop, fast shoe, long mile shoe. But for those normal ppl( not you) that don’t run at an 8pace, or even a 9 pace, does not having a pop matter. And very few times you’ll say” it takes about 30miles to break in”. Haha I have given up on shoes at 10miles in and later hear how great the shoe was. So little brother give more info so my wife can stop saying “ why you taking it back now”😮

    • @supwell
      @supwell  9 месяцев назад +2

      I don't mind when shoes don't have that pop most of the time because I run a lot of my miles at a relaxed pace - so if you're not concerned with pace, a shoe like the Novablast that is super comfortable but doesn't have a ton of that pop/fast feeling is a great choice. And btw some shoes have taken me 50 miles to break in 🤯

    4:33 - Agree. Feels like insane misdirection to the point where they might as well just not brand their own foams anymore. There's nothing meaningful I can gather from the names that brands give their foams. Really wish they would just speak to us in plain english like "the foam of xyz shoe has an emphasis on softness with bounce while also being mindful of structure and support", or "this foam is firm with a mild amount of give so that you can run fast with a bit of protection"

    Unfortunately that trampoline pad is what killed me with the Novablast 3. Wasn’t sure if it needed breaking in or not, but that forward pod created toe joint pain. Loved the shoe/foam otherwise. Switched to a Rebel v3 and couldn’t be happier. Trying to decide between these two again.

    Seeing as how you seem to really love the Novablast 4, I'd really be interested in your take on those vs the NB 1080V13. I went with the 1080V13 due to hearing the exact complaints with the Novablast slippery outsole that you expressed, but there's still that nagging FOMO from not trying the Novablast myself. 😂

    • @supwell
      @supwell  9 месяцев назад +6

      I like both of them but they give super different rides - 1080 is pillow soft while the novablast is firmer. Both are great for cranking out relaxed miles but I love the 1080 for true recovery days. Novablast I could use more as an everyday running shoe and put some pace pick up in it - with the 1080 I don't even like doing strides. I prefer the novablast for 2+ hour long runs though because the firm foam tends to feel more protective and give a bit more pop at the end of those efforts

    • @supwell
      @supwell  9 месяцев назад +3

      great question - in this case it's not the firmness that makes it feel more protective but the amount of foam you're getting - the novablast is much taller and the foam also wraps around the sides, so there's great impact absorption as well as stability. the rebel's foam is thinner so you can feel the ground more, which isn't the most protective for longer runs. also the softness of the rebel foam makes it compress more, so there's not as much impact absorption as the firmer novablast foam, which feels like it stands up to more weight/force better @@grey_fox7

      You'll likely prefer something with a little more cushion for long runs and also if you plan to use it as your everyday shoe - if your budget is $140 I'd take a look at the hoka Mach 6. I recently did a comparison video on the channel - can drop once I'm back in the computer but the hoka is more cushioned, a little bouncier and I enjoy it more for runs over an hour. Rebel is lighter but not as protective

    • @supwell
      @supwell  8 месяцев назад +1

      I wouldn't suggest the rebel v4 for a full marathon - it's a little less cushioned than the 880 and not the most supportive after 2+ hours. From the new balance line my top recommendation is the SC Trainer v2 - it's more cushioned than the 880 and super comfortable. It has a carbon fiber plate which helps make running feel a bit easier.

    hello - I am new to running shoes as I have been a life long basketball player - what is the concern with the branding of the foam on the issue, sorry I didn't quite understand. Is it that shoe companies are naming their different lines of shoes with the same name when the foam composition is different? Thank you!

    • @supwell
      @supwell  6 месяцев назад

      yeah exactly - asics calls the foam in this shoe here "ff blast+" but it is a firm feeling ride. and then they use the same name "ff blast+" for the foam in a shoe called the gel-nimbus, which is one of the softest rides out there. new balance does a similar thing with their "fresh foam" (which is actually in some bball shoes - i think the ones jamal murray wears) - in some shoes fresh foam is firm and in others it's soft. i don't like that it's confusing - if they're using the same name i'm expecting the same tech/ride experience
      and welcome to the running world btw! novablast 4 is a great choice for a converted bball player. i used to hoop back in the day btw but probably pretty rusty now 😂

      For sure! Rebel v4 is lighter weight, less cushioned and better for fast running. Supernova rise has more cushion underfoot, a lot more padding on the upper and is designed more for comfortable everyday runs. If you want a comfortable shoe for everyday runs I'd go with the supernova rise and if you want something lightweight for short and fast runs I'd go for the rebel v4
