FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The FuelCell Propel v5 offers a standard athletic fit, but the materials provide a degree of natural flex that accommodates many foot shapes.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, they provide sufficient cushioning for treadmill running and light gym activities, though they are primarily optimized for road running.
How many miles can I expect to get from them?
While individual results vary based on stride and surface, most daily trainers provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles.
Are these waterproof?
No, they are designed for breathability and airflow, so they are not waterproof.
What is the primary difference between the Propel and Rebel series?
The Propel is generally focused on daily training and durability, while the Rebel series is often lighter and geared toward faster-paced running.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during runs
Use a double knot or look into secure lacing techniques like the heel lock (runner's loop).
Foam appears compressed after long use
Rotate your shoes to allow the foam 24-48 hours to decompress and recover between runs.
Outer sole debris buildup
Gently pry out small rocks or debris from the tread using a blunt tool to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, ensure you untie the laces fully when putting them on to avoid damaging the heel counter. These shoes are best used on paved surfaces, tracks, or flat gym floors. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam. Instead, remove the insoles and clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, letting them air dry away from direct sunlight or heaters.
