New Balance SC Elite v5 | The Best Race Day Shoe for "Normal" Runners?

Find me on instagram at: wwwIn this video, I review the New Balance SC Elite v5, the latest evolution of the SuperComp Elite line — and honestly, I think it might be the best race-day running shoe for new and everyday runners. The SC Elite v5 builds on the foundation of its predecessors with a redesigned FuelCell midsole, Energy Arc carbon plate, and a lighter upper yet more supportive than ever. It’s a fast, cushioned, and forgiving super shoe — perfect for runners chasing new personal bests but who don’t necessarily run elite-level mileage (like me). While I still prefer a few details from the SC Elite v4, the v5 really stands out for one big reason: it makes the carbon-plate racing experience more accessible to the average runner. That’s a massive win for anyone stepping up to their first marathon or chasing a faster half. If it weren’t for the price, this would easily be my top recommendation for 2025 race day shoes. 📺 Watch this video to find out: How the SC Elite v5 compares to the v4 Whether it’s the right race-day shoe for you Who this shoe is really designed for Why the SC Elite v5 could be the most approachable super shoe ever made If you enjoy honest running shoe reviews, marathon training vlogs, and race-day breakdowns, make sure to subscribe to the channel and join the Bigger Than Running community — where we explore the gear, stories, and moments that make running more than just a sport. 🏃‍♂️💨,instagram.com/aubrey.PT
