FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?

While they offer cushioning, the FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 are primarily optimized for speed work and racing. For everyday mileage, a more durable trainer might be preferable to preserve the advanced technology in these shoes.

How do I clean the carbon fibre plate?

The carbon fibre plate is embedded within the midsole and does not require separate cleaning. Clean the exterior of the shoe as recommended in the care instructions.

What is the main benefit of the carbon-fibre plate?

The carbon-fibre plate provides a stiff, propulsive feel that helps to improve running economy and encourages a faster cadence, aiding in forward drive.

How does the PEBA midsole differ from traditional foam?

PEBA (Polyether Block Amide) is a superfoam known for its exceptional lightness, softness, and high energy return compared to many traditional EVA foams.

Can these shoes be used in wet conditions?

While the outsole provides some grip, they are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions. Excessive water may affect performance and longevity.

What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on usage, but for optimal performance, the responsive cushioning and plate technology are generally considered effective for 300-500 miles of running.

Are there other color options available?

This model is available in various colorways. Please check the product listing for available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, try lacing them more loosely or consider if wider fit options are available.

Reduced responsiveness over time

The PEBA midsole's responsiveness can decrease with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have covered significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).

Discomfort during runs

Ensure socks are appropriate for running and have a good fit. Break the shoes in gradually before long runs. If discomfort persists, consult the product sizing guide or a professional.

Carbon plate feels too stiff

This is a common characteristic of carbon-plated shoes. It requires an adaptation period. Try shorter runs initially and gradually increase distance as your body adjusts.

  • Comfortable cushioning suitable for race distances.

Cons

  • May be overly aggressive for casual or recovery runs.
  • Durability might be a concern for very high mileage training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or jog before a race to get accustomed to the feel.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed primarily for road running and track. They are compatible with most running socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  4. Rotation: For longevity, consider rotating these shoes with a more durable trainer for daily mileage.
