FuelCell Rebel v3

For me Evo Sl are comfortable at any pace below 10k but easy to overdo easy runs in them. Hated both Rebel V3 and V4 on the road - both felt flat out of the box but decent on treadmill.

I have a pair of v3s, don’t love them.

Tempo - NB Rebel Long run - Megablast Recovery - NB 1080 Race - Adios Pro 3 I’ve got a lot of other shoes but this is my core rotation these days.

I’m hoping I’m going to get the opposite experience with the V4’s I’ve just bought. I had V2 & V3 and whilst I loved the feel of the foam, they didn’t have enough stack for a heavier runner like me. The Evo SL I had I find a bit too squishy and unstable. I made good times in them but didn’t like the sink-in feeling of the foam, I wanted it a touch more immediate. Plus I’d like a touch less drop. I had been looking at V5 but believe they are softer and less aggressive again, and I do like to strike off my forefoot. Let’s see how I get on when they arrive.

I’m looking forward to trying these. I loved the Pro 3 but a bit too stiff, the Speed 3 and 4 don’t have enough stack for me, hoping the Azura is the sweet spot.

this was the softest shoe i ever tried by far. Far more than max cushion.  It's what i expected when i started hearing shoe reviews and the way they're described, only to find that "max cushion" still feels mostly like a normal shoe. What i expected was full stacks of whatever is in the rebel v3. I think i was too heavy and too slow for them to be useful but i can see how it'd be a god shoe for a specific band of runners

Hated them lol. One of those shoes I forced myself to try and get good life out, til I realized life is too short and tossed them.
