FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The FuelCell Propel v5 is engineered specifically for road surfaces. The outsole pattern and support structure are not designed for the uneven terrain and grip requirements of technical trails.
What does the 6mm drop mean?
The 6mm drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. A 6mm drop is considered moderate, promoting a more natural midfoot strike compared to higher-drop traditional trainers.
Does this shoe contain recycled materials?
Yes, the FuelCell midsole incorporates 3% bio-based content as part of New Balance's focus on material innovation.
Can I use these for long-distance marathons?
Yes, their lightweight construction and responsive cushioning make them a popular choice for daily mileage and long-distance training sessions.
How should I wash the shoes?
Do not machine wash or dry the shoes. Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water, then air dry.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Verify that your foot strike matches the neutral support profile of this shoe. Consider using an orthotic insole if additional arch support is required.
Midsole foam losing responsiveness
Ensure you are rotating your shoes to allow the foam to decompress. Check if the shoe has reached its typical mileage lifespan of 300-500 miles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, focus on proper fit and maintenance. Given the specific design for neutral runners, ensure your arch height and gait align with this profile for the best experience.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth after runs in muddy or dusty conditions.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to maintain the integrity of the TPU plate and foam cushioning.
- Rotation: Allow the midsole foam 24-48 hours to decompress between sessions to maintain its responsive properties.
