FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for daily training?

While they offer durability, the FuelCell RC Elite v2 is optimized for performance runs and races. For very high mileage daily training, consider a shoe with more plush, everyday cushioning.

What is the primary benefit of FuelCell technology?

FuelCell technology provides a highly responsive and energetic ride, maximizing energy return to help runners achieve faster times with less perceived effort.

How do I know if this is the right shoe for me?

These shoes are ideal for runners seeking speed and responsiveness, particularly for races or fast-paced training. If you prioritize maximum cushioning and a softer feel for everyday miles, other models might be more suitable.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The trainers can handle light rain, but they are not waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, be aware that the mesh upper may absorb moisture.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer's or New Balance's official warranty policy for specific details regarding the warranty period and coverage.

How do these compare to other racing flats?

The FuelCell RC Elite v2 is known for its combination of high energy return and a slightly more forgiving cushioning feel compared to some minimalist racing flats, making it suitable for a wider range of runners seeking performance.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

The FuelCell foam may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter runs to allow the shoe to mold to your foot.

Laces come undone during runs

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured or speed-lacing system if this is a recurring problem.

Foot discomfort after long runs

Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Ensure the shoe size is correct, allowing ample room in the toe box.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return for improved running economy.
  • Lightweight feel contributes to reduced fatigue.
  • Secure fit enhances stability and confidence.
  • Responsive cushioning supports both speed and distance.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.

Cons

  • May feel firm for runners seeking ultra-plush cushioning.
  • Primarily designed for performance, potentially less versatile for casual wear.
  • Specific fit may require an adjustment period for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure yet comfortable fit, snug enough to prevent heel slip but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running and track use. Not recommended for trail running due to the tread pattern and upper construction.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to use shoe trees to help maintain their shape between uses.
