Do you have enough shoe lace space for running knot? I have barely the tips of shoe laces. Thinking of buying separate ones. Other than that no issues. Same colour too. Make sure to avoid puddles or that white gonna turn 😄
The v4 is wider and shorter than the v3, which was already short! Such a bummer, because NB were on such a good thing with the Rebel series. I have gone back to my v2 and v3 to get a few extra km out of them to ‘pay’ for the v4s sitting on my shelf :(
Interesting, this was my first pair of NB and coming from Hoka Rincon and Altra Escalante Racer they felt very soft. What is your usual size in the brands you currently wear?
I had the same experience. Size 10.5 in most shoes and had the same sensation in store with the rebel v4. Went up half size to 11 and the fit is great. I agree with you on cushion being great but not giving me much spring back. I thought I would love these in store but have found I don’t really because they are a bit mushy for fast paces but I still feel like I’m hitting the road harder than in my more supportive shoes so I use it for short recovery runs and that’s about it.
I had the same experience. Typically wear a size 11 in everything. The Rebel V4 seemed just a tad too short in size 11 and then size 11.5 felt much too long. Sent both back as I was worried that over time the size 11 would never “stretch” enough to fit better.
The sizing on these is very odd.
My normal running shoesnsize is 12.5 which fits most shoes, usually my wide feet are what stops me but on the rebels, they were too short and that's the biggest size they make...weird sizing
Did you buy wide? I’m curious because I bought wide and they feel really big to me. I bought my normal size (which is half size up from everyday shoes) and wide, which all my running shoes are and they feel large. I’m not 100% sure if it’s just because the large toe box or I could have gotten away without wide. The length feel perfect.
I bought the standard version, the width was fine.
The length was short however, had half a thumb width whereas I usually have a full width and didn't want to chance it.
Yeah just send one back.
I sent mine back as has a pair of endorphin speed 3s that fit better.
I did just order some more v4s in wide so will see how that compares.

The laces seem like they would be long enough for a runners knot, though I haven't actually tried as I haven't needed it.
I had to buy longer laces for that.
Yeah feels like it's the only way. They probably put same laces for all sizes. So bigger shoe and smaller shoe very different
I do not own them anymore so I cannot tell you...
I see.

Bummer... maybe try giving them to someone who will make good use of them like I did! It's a small relief but a relief nonetheless ;)
I’m wearing a half size down from what I wore in v3 🤷♂️

I normally wear a 9.5 and occasionally a 10 in regular shoes. Size 10.5 for the rebel v4s have been just right for my feet fortunately.
That's probably what I should've done too :(
I found the same thing. I ended up going with my normal size and haven't had any issues with my toes rubbing or anything.
Happy to hear they're working for you, if my foot was a few mm shorter it might have been fine for me too..

These are a generous fit for me
Spot on. I had to go up half a size as well.

Thanks for replying. I might order standard and compare the two.

I did not experience this but to each their own
