New Balance SC Elite v4

New Balance quietly built one of the fastest marathon shoes on the market. The SC Elite v4 uses FuelCell foam with a carbon fiber plate and a razor-thin outsole that shaves grams without sacrificing grip. It was on the feet of multiple Boston Marathon top finishers and has developed a cult following among elite runners who want an alternative to the Nike-Adidas duopoly. The fit is wider and more accommodating than both competitors.
