FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?

While they can be used for some training runs, they are primarily designed as racing shoes. For daily high-mileage training, a more cushioned and durable trainer might be a better choice to prolong the life of the FuelCell RC Elite v2 and provide adequate recovery.

How does the carbon fiber plate affect the run?

The carbon fiber plate embedded in the midsole adds stiffness to the shoe. This stiffness works with the rocker geometry to create a propulsive sensation, helping to guide your foot forward more efficiently and reduce energy loss during toe-off.

What is the main benefit of FuelCell foam?

FuelCell foam is New Balance's most responsive cushioning technology. It provides a high level of energy return, meaning more of the impact energy is returned to the runner, resulting in a 'bouncy' and fast feel.

How do I determine my correct shoe size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing guide and measure your foot length. It is recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred sock thickness and whether you prefer a snug or slightly roomier fit.

Can these shoes be used in wet weather conditions?

The shoes offer some protection and grip in damp conditions, but they are not waterproof. Extended exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. Grip may also be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

As racing shoes, their lifespan is generally shorter than everyday trainers. Expect optimal performance for approximately 150-300 miles, after which the cushioning and responsiveness may diminish significantly.

Are these trainers genuine?

Yes, the product description guarantees that these are 100% original and genuine New Balance footwear, sold by a reputable online dealer with over 10 years of experience.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Try loosening the laces slightly, particularly over the midfoot, and re-lacing them to distribute pressure. If the discomfort persists after a short break-in period, they may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning over time

The FuelCell foam and carbon plate are designed for peak performance. With extensive use, particularly in high-impact scenarios, the responsiveness will naturally decrease. Consider replacing the shoes after a significant number of miles, typically between 150-300 miles for racing shoes, depending on usage.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for optimal grip on dry to slightly damp surfaces. For significantly wet conditions, be aware that traction may be reduced. Avoid running at high speeds on very slick or wet surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from FuelCell foam for a propulsive ride.
  • Lightweight design aids in maintaining speed and reducing fatigue.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Carbon fiber plate offers a structured and efficient stride.
  • Secure fit minimizes the risk of in-shoe movement.

Cons

  • May be less durable for high-mileage training compared to daily trainers.
  • Can feel firm or less cushioned for runners accustomed to maximalist shoes.
  • Not ideal for everyday casual wear due to performance-oriented design.
  • Potential for a break-in period for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no special setup. Simply try them on to ensure a proper fit. We recommend wearing them with performance running socks.

Compatibility: Designed for road running and track use. They are suitable for various adult female runners seeking a performance racing shoe.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, which can cause warping or material degradation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are not compressed or stored under heavy objects to maintain their shape.
  • Usage: While built for performance, excessive wear on abrasive surfaces or for non-running activities can accelerate wear and tear.
