New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 Trainers - Purple/Green - UK 8.5

While they offer cushioning, the FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 is primarily designed for race day and high-performance speed work due to its carbon fiber plate and lightweight construction. For daily mileage, a dedicated training shoe might offer better durability and comfort.

These trainers provide neutral support, meaning they are best suited for runners with a neutral foot strike who do not require significant pronation control.

The carbon fiber plate increases the shoe's stiffness, which helps to create a more propulsive and efficient toe-off. It works in conjunction with the midsole foam to return energy with each stride.

FuelCell is New Balance's advanced foam technology, designed to provide a propulsive feel and responsive cushioning. It is engineered for energy return to help runners go faster.

The 1.7mm outsole is designed for superior traction on dry road surfaces. While it offers grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Avoid running in very adverse weather conditions if possible.

Please refer to the retailer's warranty information at the time of purchase, as warranty periods can vary.

Gently clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing, which can damage the material and structure of the shoe.

These shoes feature a carbon fiber plate designed for stiffness and propulsion. They may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter runs or speed workouts initially to adapt to the feel.

The FuelCell midsole and carbon plate are optimized for performance. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris. If the issue persists after a break-in period, the shoe's advanced properties might not be the best fit for your running style.

Adjust the lacing system using the FANTOMFIT technology to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you are using the correct size; consider consulting a sizing guide if unsure.
