New Balance SC Elite V5 vs Vaporfly 4

August 27, 2025

Buy on Supwell app

Looking into these two potential options for my marathon, and while I’ve tried on the Vaporfly 4, enjoyed the feel and fit even with needing a half size up from my usual, I’m intrigued by the SC Elite V5. I’ve heard and seen with reviews that it’s a more friendly or accommodating race day option for those runners looking to finish in the 4 hr. - 4:30 hr. Time.


For those who have tried and or have the SC Elite V5, how is the fit and feel, and is it truly an accommodating option? Thanks!
