It is designed for neutral runners who are training for half and full marathons and prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort for long-distance efforts on asphalt surfaces.
Can I use these shoes for racing?

What is FuelCell cushioning?
FuelCell is New Balance's highest performing cushioning foam, engineered to deliver a propulsive feel and high energy return, ensuring maximum comfort and speed.
What does the 'Energy Arc' carbon fiber plate do?
The full-length carbon fiber plate with Energy Arc technology is designed to provide stiffness for propulsion and energy return, helping to drive you forward and improve running efficiency.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?
The New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 has a 6 mm heel-to-toe drop.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 261 grams (9.2 oz) for a men's size. Info needed: Standard reference size (e.g., US M9).
How should I clean my FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 shoes?
Hand wash them with mild soap and cold water, then allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable in certain areas.
Adjust your lacing. Try loosening the laces, especially over the top of the foot. You might also consider skipping eyelets to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
My feet feel hot and sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing breathable, moisture-wicking running socks, preferably made from synthetic materials or merino wool. The polyester upper provides good breathability, but sock choice is crucial. Consider thinner socks for warmer weather.
The shoe doesn't feel as 'responsive' or 'fast' as expected.
While responsive, the FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 is designed for training comfort over long distances. It might feel different compared to lighter, more aggressive racing flats. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs for the cushioning and plate to adapt to your stride. Ensure your expectations align with its primary use as a high-cushion training shoe.
