FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance marathon training?
Yes, the responsive FuelCell foam is designed to keep legs feeling fresh during longer efforts, though preference depends on your need for maximal cushioning.
Can these be used for gym workouts?
While intended for running, the lightweight and stable platform makes them suitable for light gym use, though they are not designed for heavy lateral-load movements like weightlifting.
How should I store them between runs?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the foam from degrading and the colors from fading.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
Yes, they generally follow standard New Balance sizing, but it is always recommended to check your foot measurements if moving between different series.
Are they waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability in the arch
Ensure your laces are secured with a runner's knot to improve lockdown; if instability persists, consider a custom insole.
Upper mesh collecting debris
Regularly wipe down the mesh with a soft-bristled dry brush after runs on dusty trails to prevent particles from working into the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, focus on proper fit and surface management. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to accommodate foot swelling during runs. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush, and wipe the upper with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as high heat can damage the integrity of the FuelCell foam. Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or radiators.
