FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?
The FuelCell SC Elite is primarily designed for race day and high-intensity speed workouts. For everyday mileage, a more durable and cushioned trainer might be more appropriate to preserve the performance features of this racing shoe.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel secure, and the heel should not slip excessively. Try them on with your usual running socks.
What is the main benefit of the carbon fiber plate?
The carbon fiber plate is designed to increase running economy by providing a stiffer forefoot and promoting a more efficient toe-off, resulting in a propulsive feel.
What is PEBA foam?
PEBA (Polyether Block Amide) is a lightweight and highly resilient polymer known for its exceptional energy return and soft cushioning properties, making it ideal for performance running shoes.
How durable are these trainers?
These trainers are built for speed and performance, often using lightweight materials that may have a shorter lifespan compared to everyday trainers. Their durability is optimized for race distances, not necessarily for very high daily mileage.
Can I use these in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. Running in heavy rain may lead to the shoes becoming waterlogged, affecting comfort and performance. Ensure they are properly dried afterward.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer's or New Balance's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner or thicker running socks. Consider a short break-in period with shorter runs before a long race.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning after use
Clean the shoes following care instructions. Excessive dirt or wear can impact performance. The midsole foam may naturally compress over extended high-mileage use, indicating it's time for replacement.
Upper material feels restrictive
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie them to achieve a more comfortable fit. Ensure the shoe is the correct width for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit. For first-time use, consider a short walk or light jog to allow the shoe to conform to your foot.
Compatibility: The FuelCell SC Elite is compatible with most running socks. While not directly compatible with electronic tracking devices, they are designed to work with standard running surfaces like roads, tracks, and measured cross-country courses.
Care: To maintain performance and extend the life of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the exterior. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can degrade the foam and fabrics.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing them under heavy objects.
