Keep this trend going! More 100mile reviews!!!

Been waiting for this 🎉

Great review! Thanks for the update!

Been waiting for this!

Thanks so much for the updated review, I wish more reviewers did these. Characteristics of shoes change over time. Most runners are putting in enough miles, they need to know how a shoe is going to feel over the long haul, not how it feels after the first few runs.

Interesting description. Like to Thomas. Cheers.

Love this shoe, sooooo comfortable

Whoa.. 100 miles review 🎉

wait ...I thought you guys did 20 miles.., and moved on.., hmmm, glad you addressed this at the top. interesting.., stuff.. glad you guys felt the need to circle back on this shoe.

I'm just in 50 miles running w/ Rebel v4, w/ this and my previous trainer Novablast 3, I'll say that the Asics were more forgiving when it comes to your legs strength, what I like about the Rebel is its strengthening your legs while running because of its characteristics

Please compared which is the best to purchase Takumi Sen 10 or Rebel v4.

Hi guys, thank you for your lovely review and your help with all new shoes coming on the market every month. I personally bought my pair of rebel v4, try them for a 10k session and sent back to New Balance. Unfortunately I was sincerely disappointed, the shoes are very soft but not more responsive as the rebel family ex. rebel v3 which on every step literally push your feet to the next, very exiting sensation. The v4 are comfortable, light but for me not exiting at all, not energy return at all and because so flexible and soft I feel the v4 also unstable. They are good for easy/long run maybe, anyway not for me. Thanks

I love it so far but I am curious to see how it holds up. I'm about 50 miles in.

I got these the other day. Right now it's the best shoe I've ever used. It feels like I'm running on bounce houses. I'll try to remember to update after 100+ mi.

I tried some (definitely used) shoes at a demo run and the forefoot felt battered in. Totally possible that the shoe just isn't going for a hyper cushion all the way through, but it definitely felt like a big contrast from the heel area.

Wake up shoe people, new type of BITR video dropped

I ran in this shoe once & I wasn’t feeling the upper. Definitely a short run/speedy shoe. I would’ve liked more cushion in the forefoot.

My rebel v2s kind of had the same issue. After ~50 miles, they lost a lot of the fun factor. Haven’t had that issue with my og saucony speeds, and my og puma deviate nitros are still holding up ok after ~300 miles (not as bouncy anymore, but feel like a good daily trainer)

The green colorway just took my money, but I wish it popped a bit more.

My opinions, and the shoes themselves, often change beyond 20-30 miles. I think that is an important component when recommending a shoe to those of us who want to get 400+ miles on a shoe in order to justify the cost.

Hit 100 miles on mine and I do like the shoe, but I almost feel like it's a little too soft and flexy. I love to be able to feel the road, but my feet actually get a little beat up on the longer runs.

It's a 80/20 EVA/PEBA blend, so that makes sense. Too bad that they couldn't have equally split the ratio, but then maybe that might have caused stability issues that some people experienced in the Rebel V2 with an even smaller stack.

Just got mine today in white and can not go out and run tomorrow!!! SO excited!

I always tempted to try another fuelcell shoes. Problem is that the last fuelcell shoes I bought (propel v1 and rebel v1) felt dead after around 320k (200ish miles). It is as if brands take advantage of most top reviewers only test shoes up to 100 miles. SJD only to 50 miles, BITR around 20-30 miles, kofuzi 100 miles, etc. Some reviewers do take shoes up to 200 or 300 miles, but not many, and of course if they test all their shoes up to this point, they won't keep up with the new shoes that keeps coming out the whole year. Then, durability issues after the 100mile point is rarely mentioned. Most reviewers also based their durability prediction to the outsole of the shoes, which sometimes misleading. I mean, unless the rubber is very thin or very soft blown rubber, most outsoles will last more than 300 miles. Even if they got scuffed, it will mostly be cosmetic and doesn't effect the shoes performance that much. For me, durability is more on how long the midsole keeps its characteristics, which is, understandably, more difficult to assess. Based on Thomas' review here, I'd figure the rebel v4 will stay good for around 200 miles. After that you can still run in it, but nothing special. Personally, I like my shoes to stay good for at least 300miles/500km. For daily trainer, should be longer. 600km would be nice. For shoes like the Rebel v4, Hoka Rincon, etc, most probably I will only buy them after heavily discounted. Not in full price, because I won't enjoy them as long as other shoes anyway..

It will take me longer to get to 100 than you, but happy to post here when I do. I'm absolutely loving this shoe 20 miles in.

Rebel V4 or Hoka Rincon 3 for daily trainers and someone who runs for a long time.

Hi, i want to know is it worthed if now im using asics novablast 4 and change it to new balance rebel v4? Is it worthed or just keep it going with my novablast 4? Thanks for ur opinion guys

I was thinking of the same thing about the Rincon when watching your initial review and this 100 mile review. Rincon felt dead to me after 75 miles both in the Rincon 2 & 3 and not going back to it. I like the look of the Rebel. 3 especially in the white, neon yellow, orange color way but if it’s not going to take me to 300 miles then it’s a no for me.

So wats good for easy days

I have a pair I’m about to throw into the rotation, so it’s good to here this

This and the Mach 6 are on my next to try

Thomas: enjoyed this straight talk review. Cut the fluff out and get to the point. I like it! Now, would Between 2 Shoes with Rebel v4 and Endorphin Speed 4 be appropriate?

I have a hard time seeing any reason to pick this over the Novablast 4.. The Rebel is lighter but the Novablast gets you just as much if not more bounce and at least twice the durability at the same pricepoint.

Which similar shoe is not dead after that mileage?

I feel in the forefoot not cusion enough compare with another shoes like Novablast 4. But if you want to feel running on barefoot, u should try it cause the weight of this shoes is really really light.

Loving this show but I could see it dead by 250. Not that I’ve lost anything at about 10 miles but it is soft and light which doesn’t scream durability. Using it for uptempo days and the Novablast 4 for everything else.

Waiting for the New Hoka Rincon

I love the feel of it, I was so surprised by it especially it without a plate! It's an awesome shoe!

This feels like a polite way of telling us to avoid the shoe. Thanks for the 100-mile update!

Sounds like my Vaporfly V2.. Went flat at the 100 miles mark..

With the V3 on sale right now for only $50 each (for a pair) at Joe's, it's a no-brainer of an alternative to the V4, which is nowhere near 3X better than the V3 and will likely be liquidated this time next yr. I tend to wait for hype to die down and they go on sale, since being late to the party while I enjoy what I own drastically reduces the impact on my bank account. Keeping up with the Jones' (e.g., YT reviewers) is a money pit for those of us who aren't subsidized. Kudos to the relatively few reviewers, e.g., Hes Kicks, for making a point of reporting good deals when they drop.

Ouch!!

100mi I guess is a lot of miles for a reviewer... but I tend to run my shoes 400-500mi

I have mine and it is fast

Does it “bottom out” compared to v3?

Would you go for this, or the rebel v3 at half the price?

This or 1080 v13?

interesting.. I was a huge v2 fan, the v3 was still 'pretty good' .. but the v4 just feels boring to me, its lost all the fun factor (especially when compared to the v2) .. it now feels much more like a daily trainer (very light one) than a speedy shoe ... love NB but this one let me down straight out of the box (only about 40k in as well)

Ran 11km out the box...stiff, firm and no real bounce. Felt nothing like v2. Not a shoe I will be reaching for sadly. The size is still a touch short. You may want to go up half a size or that toe bumper material could cause issues.

9 half marathons 😂 yeeeze!

the dreaded Rincon flattening..such a disappointment of a shoe..

I’m a long term Rebel fan & I’ve been hugely disappointed in my pair. If anyone is considering these I’d strongly recommend reconsidering or trying them on in store preferably one that has a treadmill 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Hopefully you can give me a shoe size 8 men even if it's use

Over-hyped shoe.

So at 200-300, dead? 👎Kinda figured this might happen. For the price, it's not really worth it. Still holding out for the SC Pacer V2....

The shoe felt like a total disappointment. Sure it’s one of the better looking shoes out there. But the fit is tight and uncomfortable. The stability is uneven and again UNCOMFORTABLE. nothing special about the run. Can’t pickup the pace as expected. Would prefer an older model shoe from another brand. New balance could have established their strong presence with this one but they kinda dropped the ball

The colors are so ugly. I hope they release some better ones soon.

This or Nova Blast 4?
