PositiveJust over 100 miles of easy runs, long runs and workouts, including sub-5:00 mile reps. Soft, bouncy and very well cushioned, a favorite for long runs and fine up to tempo pace but not much faster. The upper locks the foot down comfortably and breathes well. The outsole is the weak spot, with poor traction and quick wear, and the shoe feels a bit heavy and clunky.

MixedAbout 100 miles across two coasts, including a 20-mile double day and relaxed recovery runs. Comfortable, stable and protective, with a solid-looking outsole, but the ride felt unremarkable: firm at first, softening noticeably with miles, and best only between roughly 6:30 and 7:00 per mile. At around 310 g it is heavy, and they felt it is too much money for a plated workhorse. Suits someone wanting a smooth, non-aggressive plated long-run shoe.
Most runners like the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 as a responsive, stable and protective trainer for long runs and tempos, with an upper that several find more comfortable than the v2's. Complaints are scattered, such as a firm feel, foam going dead after high mileage, and a couple preferring other shoes.
