FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?
These shoes are primarily designed for race day due to their lightweight construction and aggressive features like the carbon fiber plate. While they can be used for some faster training sessions, they are not recommended for high-mileage daily training or recovery runs.
How does the carbon fiber plate affect performance?
The carbon fiber plate works with the responsive midsole to provide a propulsive effect, enhancing energy return and promoting a faster stride. It helps to stabilize the foam and create a more efficient toe-off.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies depending on mileage, running surface, and individual stride. For a performance racing shoe, the optimal performance is typically seen within the first 100-200 miles. After this, the responsiveness may decrease, though they can still be used for shorter runs.
How do I clean my FuelCell SuperComp Elitev5 Trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush to remove dirt and a damp cloth for wiping the exterior. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Can these shoes be used in wet conditions?
They are designed for road running and can handle light rain. However, extensive use in very wet conditions may affect grip and accelerate wear. Ensure they are dried thoroughly afterward.
What size should I order?
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide for accurate measurements. These trainers are designed for a snug, performance fit. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult reviews for sizing advice specific to this model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff
The shoes are designed for a responsive, stiff feel due to the carbon plate. Try wearing them for shorter, faster runs initially to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size, as a poor fit can exacerbate stiffness.
Midsole feels less responsive over time
The PEBA midsole is designed for high responsiveness. Significant loss of responsiveness could indicate extensive wear. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect cushioning. For extreme cases, consider replacing the shoes if they have accumulated high mileage.
Tongue slips during runs
Ensure the laces are threaded through the additional eyelet near the ankle collar (if present) to secure the tongue. Adjust lacing tension to create a snugger fit around the midfoot.
