FAQs
Is the FuelCell Propel v5 suitable for flat feet?
The shoe provides neutral cushioning, making it suitable for many runners, but those requiring specific medial arch support may want to add their own orthotic insoles.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the durability and comfort profile of the Propel v5 make it a popular choice for high-mileage marathon preparation.
Does this shoe come in different widths?
New Balance offers various models and sizes, so check the specific product listing to see if wide or narrow options are available for your selected style.
How do I ensure the correct size?
It is recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the responsiveness of the FuelCell foam. Use a damp cloth for spot cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during turns
Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to lock the midfoot in place, or consider a thicker sock to improve volume filling.
Foam feels less responsive after many miles
Like all foam-based running shoes, the material eventually loses compression properties; if you exceed 300-500 miles, it may be time to cycle in a new pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your FuelCell Propel v5, ensure you have selected the appropriate UK size for your foot shape. During initial use, wear the shoes on shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources, as this can affect the longevity of the midsole foam. If the trainers become dirty, clean them using a soft brush and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can damage the technical materials and adhesive bonds.
