Troubleshooting
Slipping in the shoe
Ensure laces are tied correctly for a secure fit. Consider using different lacing techniques if pressure points or heel slippage persist.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can naturally decrease with mileage. Ensure you are not exceeding the shoe's intended lifespan for optimal performance.
Discomfort during runs
Verify you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before undertaking long distances.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While designed for general use, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These running shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. The FuelCell Propelv5 trainers are compatible with standard athletic sock wear. To care for your shoes, it is recommended to clean them after each use to remove dirt and debris. Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and construction. Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
