      wider can mean two things: fit or footprint
      fit: this shoe came in wide sizing for v3.
      footprint: widening the footprint tends to make a shoe more stable and less speedy

      @@kofuzi Sure.
      People like to compare current trainers like the Novablast 4 and now this to earlier counterparts, where they were more “fun” because they were more propulsive, yet were unstable even for the most neutral runner and/or had awful durability. It seems like a daily shoe is now “boring” if it doesn’t have a huge risk/reward to running in it, which in my opinion, isn’t what a bread and butter daily trainer is for. I like a daily trainer that makes my feet and legs do the work while protecting them - this makes it so if and when I do put some sort of propulsive shoe on my feet, it will make me run that much better in them because I can put more muscle into them.

  • @bentaylor3730
    @bentaylor3730 4 месяца назад

    And there are so many other reviewer's stating that they find the shoe to be much more of an uptempo shoe than a workhorse and/or easy run shoe. It's the same when I hear people mention that it runs very wide in the midfoot and forefoot areas (which it does) and mention that they still wouldn't go down a size because it fits true to size and would be too short in length but always fail to mention that you can go with the women's shoe instead for men with narrower feet (sadly I don't believe there is an option for women to do something similar or have a narrower option) and they still share the same colour ways.
    I love using this site for just that, up tempo type workouts while using my Saucony Tempus's for my long and easy runs and the Saucony Endorphin Elites for race day.

    1) Nice repping the Phily merch

    3) It sounds like the changes for v4 are headed in the right direction for me personally. I’m a fan of the Rebel line, but I found the v3 a bit too soft and it had the tendency to bottom out-and I’m not a big guy. A little bit more solid response in a lightweight trainer sounds like an attractive base day option.

    So does NB have a tempo / speed day, non-plated shoe? I thought that was the Rebel's spot... or is it that this market is a dead end because people want a plate in their tempo / threshold shoe? I have a V3 and it doesn't inspire me to do easy runs at all... it's way too tempting to pick up the pace and have fun (hence the name!). Does the V4 kind of kill that?

      Also interesting to see the Rebel kinda folded in to the SC line - looks like there’s continuity from the Rebel up thru the SC Trainer > SC Elite. I kinda liked that the Rebel existed on its own in the past, but was looking forward to it finding its place in the flagship training-racing lineup. Now I’m not so sure, if it’s gonna be put into a chonker daily role.

    Kofuzi, is it safe to say that Fuel Cell has been canceled out? I feel like they went peba with all their shoes in 2024, firming their entire lineup. I love peba, but i also like the bounce and squish of Fuel Cell. The squish is gone 😢

      maybe yes maybe no. I don't think fuel cell has been slightly different across shoes within the same year and across the same shoe over different years. it's always been about sensation and not compound, as far as how New Balance seems to characterize FuelCell

    Hi Kofuzi. Good review. How you would compare this new NB Rebel 4 shows vs Puma Deviate Nitro 2 as a daily training , can do everything shoes? Which one you would pick ? I have Pumas and I did almost 600K in them this winter and I really like them. Of course they are plated but still flexible and responsive. I was considering NB as a next daily training shoes, however now in the UK the Pumas are available for almost 1/2 price of the NBs. thanks

      ​@@io-rj6sk personally I try to avoid plates in my uptempo shoes for a couple reasons. First I like to have a shoe thats fun to turn over but not giving too much performance help, so when I switch to a plated or "rod - ed" shoe for dedicated workouts it feels more pop - y (thats probably purely psychological) The more tangible reasons are I alternate tempo days with hill reps and I really like light weight, very flexible shoes for hills so its nice to have a shoe that can double for both and I often try to squeeze in tempo sessions on lunch breaks where I'm on uneven sidewalks, or pausing for traffic for part of the run and don't really need a set it and forget it experience

    I'm concerned with the way so many companies are nerfing their non-plated uptempo shoes. I loved the Rebelv3, but you cannot get it anymore where I live, and you cannot order it in my size in Canada. For whatever reason none of the local running stores where I live stock Adidas (or Nike) shoes, and the Takumi Sen is basically unavailable online from the Canadian site.
    How would the Hoka Mach 6 work as a possible alternative? From the sounds of it, they've actually made that one a little more of a tempo shoe than the v5.

    Good review. I definitely plan to try the Rebel v4 as I'm an unabashed NB fanboy, but this shoe seems like such a major departure from my beloved v3 that I've stocked up on multiple pairs of it with the recent sales going on. Never got to try the v2 and I know that many Rebel lovers say that's "The One", but the v3 does a lot of things very well considering its lower stack and minimalism compared to all these super trainers coming out these days.
    I also love the Takumi Sen 8/9 for the workouts, so I don't expect the Rebel v4 to take on that role. Seems like a jack-of-all-trades shoe but which does certain things better than others. Interested in knowing how the foam holds up after 100 miles. I haven't had any durability issues with the v3 as some have reported and I know there are concerns about how long the v4 will hold its bounce and responsiveness.
