FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are suitable for varied training, though personal preference on cushioning for very long distances will vary.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily a running trainer, the responsive foam is suitable for light gym use, though they are not designed for heavy lifting stability.
How should I clean the FuelCell midsole?
Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge in water or use harsh chemicals.
Are they true to size?
They generally follow standard New Balance sizing; if you prefer extra room for foot swelling during runs, consider a half-size up.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a race-inspired, breathable performance mesh.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the ankle and improve lockdown.
Upper mesh collecting dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, ensure your size matches your standard running shoe fit to prevent slipping or rubbing. When using these trainers for the first time, perform a short test run to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike. To care for your shoes, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the foam integrity. Instead, clean the mesh upper using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or high-heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the midsole materials.
