The upper looks exactly the same as the supercomp elite v4 – does it fit the same?

I would not call the V4 “lively” at all. The shoe runs like a wet noodle for me. Way too soft, no structure, and too flexy for strong toe off. I sent mine back after 40 mile test.

Haha I am thinking the same thing having just read it.

Wow! I had to check the shoe box to make sure they weren’t double wides! Too much material in the mid section and toe box. Otherwise, feels great. V3 fits my feet much better.

“next version of the Rebel (v3) had a castrated upper.” What does that even mean?

In reply to Grant. You're actually spot-on with this comparison, and it's kinda my bad for not making it earlier. I've run in the Rebel v2, v4, and Cielo Road, and I would definitely say that the Cielo Road feels like a Rebel with a bit more danger to it. I think I'd give New Balance the edge for heel support, but probably lean Cielo Road for the thoroughly enjoyable ride.

I feel like the real comparison was missed. Hoka Cielo Road. I know that’s more race than daily trainer but you actually put “rebel” in the title of that review.

Robbie actually compared it to the Rebel V2. This might be just the reviewers not overlapping.
