FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The FuelCell Propel v5 offers a neutral platform. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding a custom orthotic insole.
Can I use these for marathon distances?
Yes, the cushioning system is designed for high-mileage comfort, making them capable of handling marathon distances.
How do I know if the UK 7.5 is right for me?
Measure your foot in the evening when it is at its largest. Compare your measurement to the New Balance size chart for the most accurate fit.
Are these good for walking?
While designed for running, the comfort and support provided by the FuelCell foam make them excellent for walking and daily wear.
How often should I replace them?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve tension across the bridge.
Midsole feeling less responsive
Ensure the shoes are not being left in extreme temperatures, as foam can stiffen in cold weather or lose structure in extreme heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your FuelCell Propel v5 shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, take a few short runs to allow the midsole to adapt to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam properties.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from degrading prematurely.
