"Men's New Balance® FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5: The Men's New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 is a max-cushion neutral running shoe built for race day - specifically the kind of race day where you're chasing a personal best at the marathon. At 7.2 ounces, it carries almost nothing on your foot, and the 100% PEBA foam FuelCell midsole gives back serious energy with every stride. If you've ever wanted a shoe that feels soft underfoot but doesn't slow you down, this is the one.The forefoot carbon fiber plate stiffens the ride right where you need it, so your toe-off feels powerful and efficient rather than soft and vague. The 8 mm heel-to-toe drop keeps the geometry familiar, while the race-engineered tongue and collar wrap the foot securely without creating pressure points. The lightweight outsole adds traction without adding weight - so you stay quick without thinking about it. Everything here is dialed in for speed, efficiency, and energy return over long distances.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I put these on for a marathon-pace workout and the combination of that PEBA foam and the carbon plate just makes fast feel easier.
