I ran 35 miles in the New Balance FuelCell SC Pacer v2 carbon plate racing shoe — here’s my verdict

The New Balance FuelCell SC Pacer v2 is a more direct shoe than most carbon plate racers, and works well for shorter events, but lacks the propulsive punch of the best super-shoes.

It has a drop of 8mm.

The shoe has gripped well for me in the wet and I dont have any concerns about its durability.

When switching from it to the Elite v4, the latter felt overly soft and rockered in comparison.
