New Balance SC Elite v6 Review: Excellent Update — But My Pair Had an Issue

In this video I review the New Balance SC Elite v6 — including a 20 mile long run I did in them to properly test them as a potential marathon shoe ahead of my NYC Marathon later this year. The updates on the v6 are genuinely impressive, and I'll break down what's changed and how they performed over the full 20 miles. However, my pair developed an issue during testing, which I show and talk through in the video. Specs: Price: $275 Weight: 6.7 oz / 190g (men's size 9.5), 5.5oz / 155g (women's size 7) Stack Height: 40mm heel / 32mm forefoot Drop: 8mm Midsole: new Infinion foam, New Balance's lightest foam, with a redesigned carbon plate for increased stiffness and propulsion Upper: translucent mesh with FANTOMFIT Disclaimer: This may well be a one-off with my specific pair rather than a wider issue with the shoe — I can't say for certain either way. I wanted to be transparent and show you exactly what happened so you can make an informed decision, especially if you're considering these for race day or long-distance training.
