#304 Mailbag! New Balance SC Rebel vs. Elite v6? Difference Between Rockers and Toe-Spring? Do I Need Flexible AND Rockered Shoe?
About this episode
Nathan and Matt answer listener questions while discussing the New Balance SC Rebel and SC Elite v6.
Nathan and Matt dig into the mailbag after sharing early thoughts on the New Balance SC Rebel and SC Elite v6 in this week's In For Testing. They cover a wide range of your questions, including whether unworn shoes age in storage, what makes a good all-terrain "safe" shoe, the biomechanical differences between forefoot rockers and toe-spring, and whether it's worth rotating flexible shoes with stiffer, rockered ones, and much more.
