$119.99
The New Balance FuelCell Propel v5 is a neutral daily trainer designed for comfort and energy return, making it suitable for both everyday runs and longer distances. It features a FuelCell midsole with a TPU plate, providing a propulsive and cushioned feel. The breathable, engineered mesh upper and durable rubber outsole contribute to a comfortable and secure fit.
1. Midsole
- FuelCell foam with Bio-based Content: The primary component of the midsole, FuelCell foam, is known for its responsive and propulsive feel, designed to help drive you forward. A portion of the FuelCell foam (approximately 3%) is bio-based, made from renewable resources in an effort to reduce the shoe's carbon footprint.
- TPU Plate: A partial-length TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) plate is integrated into the midsole to provide a slight boost in stability and a bit of propulsion, aiding in a smoother heel-to-toe transition, especially for midfoot strikers
2. Upper
- Structured Engineered Mesh: The upper is constructed with a breathable and lightweight engineered synthetic mesh material. This design provides good ventilation and a secure fit.
- Padded Heel Collar and Tongue: Decent padding in the heel collar enhances comfort and helps secure the foot during runs, according to a review
3. Outsole
- Rubber Outsole: The outsole features a durable rubber compound with a diamond pattern designed to provide traction and grip on various surfaces, including wet conditions.
