FAQs

What distances are these shoes best suited for?

The New Balance NB SC Pacer Ld62 is ideal for distances ranging from 5k up to marathon length, particularly for runners focused on speed.

Is this shoe suitable for beginners?

While suitable for all runners, its aggressive, low-stack design with a carbon plate is best appreciated by experienced runners who prioritize speed and ground feel. Beginners might prefer a shoe with more cushioning.

How do I clean my NB SC Pacer Ld62 trainers?

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid machine washing or soaking. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs approximately 157 grams (5.5 oz) in a standard women's size.

Can the carbon fiber plate be felt during a run?

Yes, the Energy Arc carbon fiber plate is designed to provide a noticeable propulsive feel and a snappy ground sensation during your stride.

What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell midsole?

FuelCell midsole foam delivers a highly responsive and propulsive feel, helping to drive you forward efficiently during faster running paces.

What does 'low stack height' mean for performance?

A low stack height means there is less material between your foot and the ground, resulting in a more direct and 'snappy' feel that can enhance ground contact and perceived speed.

Troubleshooting

Unusual noise during stride

Check for any debris trapped in the outsole grooves. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not causing friction.

Slipping heel

Re-lace the shoes using a 'heel lock' or 'runner's knot' technique to improve midfoot and heel security. Ensure the shoe size is correct.

Reduced responsiveness

The FuelCell foam is designed for firm responsiveness. If it feels excessively stiff, ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (speed work/racing) and that the temperature is within a reasonable range for performance foam.

Mesh upper feels too delicate

The engineered mesh is intentionally thin for weight and breathability. Avoid snagging the upper on rough surfaces or sharp objects. Gentle cleaning is recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a propulsive and responsive ride for speed.
  • Extremely lightweight and breathable construction.
  • Offers excellent ground feel for better proprioception.
  • Secure heel lockdown reduces the risk of slippage.
  • Carbon plate technology enhances energy return.

Cons

  • Minimal cushioning may not suit all runners, especially for longer distances or those needing more impact absorption.
  • Low stack height might be less comfortable for beginners.
  • The aggressive design is primarily for racing and speed work, not casual jogging.
  • Durability of the ultra-lightweight mesh may be a concern for some.
  • Solely designed for female adult runners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The New Balance NB SC Pacer Ld62 comes ready to wear. Ensure a proper fit by adjusting the laces through the secured eyelets for a snug, locked-in feel. The adjustable lace closure allows for a customized fit across the midfoot.

Compatibility:

This product is specifically designed as a women's adult running shoe. It is compatible with standard running socks. The shoe is intended for road running and track surfaces. Use on abrasive or uneven terrain may reduce its lifespan and performance.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After runs, wipe down the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure good ventilation to prevent odor build-up.
  • Laundering: Do not machine wash or dry clean these running shoes.
