New Balance Supercomp Elite v6 Women's

New Balance Supercomp Elite v6 Women's review: what runners say

Fit

Runs narrow, particularly in the heel and midfoot. Most sources recommend sizing up half a size for long distances; also available in 2E width.

Feel

Infinion foam with high bounce and low compliance: snappy toe-off response, smooth transition aided by an aggressive rocker and stiffer forefoot plate. Immediate lightweight feel underfoot.

Durability

Below-average durability for the category: ultra-thin outsole (~1mm) with a large exposed foam zone in the midsole. Lateral forefoot wear reported as early as 40 miles in some tests; suited for races and key workouts, not daily mileage.

Best for

Racer from 5K to marathon for neutral runners with a midfoot or forefoot strike. Sweet spot is the half to full marathon; less suited to heavier runners or pronounced heel strikers.

Weak points

Insufficient heel stability for heel strikers or runners at easy paces. Non-gusseted tongue prone to folding during entry, flagged by multiple sources.
