FAQs

What distances are these trainers best suited for?

These trainers are ideal for distances from 5k up to marathon length, particularly for runners looking for speed and responsiveness.

How does the carbon plate work?

The Energy Arc carbon fibre plate, combined with a cutout in the heel, is designed to deform the midsole foam, enhancing the plate's range of motion and providing a propulsive, snappy feel.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday training or just racing?

While they can be used for faster everyday training sessions like tempo runs and intervals, their lightweight design and propulsive nature make them particularly well-suited for race day. For very high mileage or recovery runs, a more cushioned shoe might be preferred.

How much cushioning do these shoes offer?

The SuperComp Pacer v2 features a low stack height and a firm FuelCell midsole foam, prioritizing ground feel and responsiveness over maximal cushioning.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs approximately 157 grams (5.5 oz).

Can I use these shoes in wet conditions?

The engineered mesh upper offers breathability, which means it can absorb water. While they can handle light rain, it's best to dry them thoroughly after running in wet conditions to maintain their structure and performance.

What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell foam?

FuelCell foam is designed to deliver a propulsive feel, helping to drive you forward with each stride.

Troubleshooting

Slight rubbing or discomfort on heel

Ensure laces are correctly adjusted for a secure heel lock. Wear with appropriate running socks. The thin collar may require a short break-in period.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Check for excessive wear on the outsole and midsole. Ensure the carbon plate has not been compromised. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Unusual noise from the shoe

Inspect the shoe for any foreign objects lodged in the outsole or midsole cutouts. Ensure the carbon plate is seated correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for fast-paced running and racing.
  • Lightweight construction enhances speed and reduces fatigue.
  • Responsive FuelCell foam provides a propulsive feel.
  • Carbon plate technology aids in energy return.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.

Cons

  • May offer less cushioning than trainers designed for long-distance comfort.
  • The firm ride and low stack height might require an adaptation period.
  • Durability of the lightweight materials may be a concern for high-mileage training.
  • Not ideal for runners seeking maximum impact protection.
  • Limited to racing and speedwork for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure yet comfortable fit, with a snug feel around the heel and midfoot.

Compatibility: Designed for road running. While suitable for 5k to marathon distances, they excel in faster-paced efforts. Not recommended for trail running due to the specific outsole design.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
