Full details
The New Balance FuelCell RC Elite v2 'Yellow White' (UK 7.5) is a lightweight running shoe for adult males seeking enhanced energy return and speed.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the FuelCell midsole?
The FuelCell midsole provides a highly responsive and energetic cushioning that helps propel you forward with each step, enhancing performance.
How does the carbon fiber plate contribute to performance?
The full-length carbon fiber plate works with the FuelCell foam to maximize energy return, promoting a faster and more efficient stride, particularly during high-intensity running.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?
These shoes are primarily designed for performance running, such as races and tempo training. They may not be the best choice for casual jogging, everyday training, or walking due to their specialized construction.
How should I clean my FuelCell RC Elite v2 shoes?
Clean them with a damp cloth and a soft brush, avoiding machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the purpose of the perforated midfoot?
The perforations in the midfoot are designed to reduce the overall weight of the shoe, contributing to a lighter feel and enhanced speed.
Will the knit upper stretch over time?
Engineered knit uppers typically offer some degree of conformity and slight stretch to adapt to the wearer's foot shape over time, providing a more personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure laces are properly adjusted; they should be snug but not overly tight. Consider if the shoe is the correct size and width for your foot. Some engineered knit uppers will offer some stretch over time.
Reduced energy return after initial use.
The FuelCell foam and carbon plate are designed for peak performance. While durability is a factor, ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces. Significant degradation may indicate the shoe has reached the end of its optimal lifespan for performance.
Discomfort or rubbing on the heel or ankle.
Ensure socks are appropriate and cover the area of discomfort. The streamlined collar construction may require a short break-in period. If persistent, check for any debris inside the shoe.
