FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While they can handle short road sections, these trainers are optimized for trail surfaces. Road running may cause faster wear on the aggressive trail-specific outsole.

What is the main benefit of the FuelCell foam?

The FuelCell foam provides a highly responsive and energetic ride, helping to propel you forward with each step and offering a dynamic feel.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance. Ensure you measure your foot accurately and compare it to the UK sizing guide. This model is listed as UK 11.

Can I use these for hiking?

Yes, the traction and durability make them suitable for moderate hiking, especially on trails where a more athletic shoe is preferred. However, they are primarily designed for running.

What makes the 'close-to-the-ground' feel beneficial?

This design enhances ground feel, allowing for better proprioception and quicker reactions to uneven terrain, which can lead to improved stability and agility on technical trails.

How durable are the materials used?

The combination of leather and nylon materials is chosen for a balance of durability and flexibility needed for trail running. Care instructions should be followed to maximize lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean from mud and debris. For significantly wet conditions, tread carefully as even aggressive lugs have limits.

Uncomfortable fit after initial runs

Ensure the laces are tied correctly, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. Break-in periods can vary; try shorter runs initially.

Premature wear on outsole lugs

These trainers are designed for trails. Excessive use on hard, abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt can accelerate wear. Stick to natural terrain for best durability.

Foot fatigue on longer runs

Consider if the close-to-the-ground feel is suitable for your intended distance and personal preference. For longer, more cushioned experiences, a different model might be more appropriate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on various trail surfaces.
  • Responsive and energetic feel from FuelCell cushioning.
  • Good balance of support and durability for trail use.
  • Promotes natural foot movement with its ground-feel design.
  • Lightweight construction for agility.

Cons

  • May offer less cushioning than other trail running shoes.
  • The close-to-the-ground feel might be less comfortable on extremely long distances for some runners.
  • Durability on very aggressive, rocky terrain might be a concern over time.
  • Limited color options in this specific variant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box with no specific setup required. They are designed for male adult foot sizes. To ensure longevity and optimal performance, proper care is recommended:

  • Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Material Specifics: The leather and nylon materials used offer a balance of durability and breathability. Keep them away from excessive moisture and prolonged exposure to harsh elements to preserve their integrity.
