FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the FuelCell Propelv5 provides ample cushioning and energy return, making it suitable for marathon distances for many runners. However, individual needs may vary.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
These trainers are primarily designed for running. While they can be used for light gym activities, a shoe with a flatter, more stable sole might be preferable for weightlifting or cross-training.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping when you walk or run.
What is the main difference between FuelCell Propel and other New Balance series?
The FuelCell series, including the Propelv5, is characterized by its focus on high-performance cushioning and energy return, designed to provide a propulsive feel.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is constructed with durable rubber compounds designed for road running, offering good resistance to wear and tear for typical training mileage.
Is this shoe good for neutral runners?
Yes, the FuelCell Propelv5 is generally considered a neutral running shoe, offering balanced cushioning and support without motion control features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have properly loosened the laces before putting them on. The shoes may also require a short break-in period. If they consistently feel too tight after a few wears, consider a larger size or a wider fit option if available.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The FuelCell midsole is designed for longevity, but like all cushioning, it will gradually compress. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended mileage for the shoe and consider replacing them after approximately 300-500 miles of use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good traction, wet surfaces can reduce grip for any shoe. Run with caution on wet pavement and avoid aggressive movements. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or jog initially to allow your feet to adapt.
Compatibility: The FuelCell Propelv5 is best suited for road running and general fitness activities. While the outsole offers good grip, it is not specifically designed for technical trail running.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with cold water to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
