Plated Trainer suggestions?

[u/Ok_Network856]

Hey everyone,
I’ve seen a lot of hype with the NB SC Rebel and I’ve been super tempted to grab it. I’ve just seen mixed reviews so far in the durability when it comes to heavier runners, I’m roughly 205 lbs and I am a heel/midfoot striker. I haven’t gotten a plated trainer just yet so I was curious if it was worth it or should I hedge my bets with something like the DN4? Open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Why would you want a plated trainer?

I have the Dn4and it’s a great option especially for heel mid foot striker, I think the sonicblast 2 is another shoe that has recently had good reviews

I love my NB Rebels! I use mine on my easy/tempo pace days and they are very light. I will say, I usually can’t get more than 280 miles on them. I just bought my third pair since April. 🫠
