FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While the FuelCell Propel v5 offers good cushioning and energy return, they are best suited for daily training and shorter to mid-distance runs. For ultra-marathons, you might prefer a shoe with maximum cushioning.
Can I wear these shoes for cross-training activities?
Yes, their versatility and responsive nature make them suitable for some cross-training activities, particularly those involving dynamic movements and short bursts of speed. However, for activities requiring significant lateral support, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
Typically, running shoes like the FuelCell Propel v5 last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. It's important to monitor the midsole cushioning and outsole wear.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the FuelCell Propel v5 trainers are not waterproof. The upper is designed for breathability, which means they will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the main difference between FuelCell Propel v5 and other New Balance series?
The FuelCell Propel v5 is characterized by its focus on responsiveness and energy return, making it ideal for faster paces and training. Other series might prioritize maximum cushioning, stability, or trail-specific features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If still too tight, consider trying a half-size up or a wider fit if available.
Slipping during runs
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For wet conditions, consider alternate footwear designed for superior grip. Check that the laces are securely tied.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
This can be a sign of normal wear. Running shoes have a finite lifespan; consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles of use, or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Discomfort in the arch area
This might indicate a fit issue or the need for additional arch support. Try adjusting the lacing or consider using aftermarket insoles designed for arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically run in.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for running on roads and treadmills. They are compatible with most running sock types.
Care:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
