FuelCell Foam
The midsole uses FuelCell foam (containing 3% bio-based materials), known for its ability to absorb shocks and provide optimal energy return. On the Propel v5, it delivers high responsiveness for effortlessly racking up the kilometers.

Cushioning
Soft and Bouncy
Thanks to the FuelCell midsole, the Propel v5 offers particularly soft cushioning and excellent energy return, ideal for making workouts comfortable while facilitating forward propulsion.
Stability
Neutral
This is a neutral shoe, but its integrated TPU plate and slightly widened outsole provide excellent torsional rigidity. The stride remains stable and secure despite the great flexibility of the foam.
Why Switch to the New Balance FuelCell Propel v5?
The Propel v5 combines the accessibility of a daily training shoe with the dynamic performance of models designed for speed. Designed by New Balance, it integrates FuelCell foam and a TPU plate to soften every impact while giving you a true trampoline effect during your runs.
Integrated TPU Plate
Inserted between the layers of foam, the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) plate adds structure without the stiffness of carbon. More flexible, it facilitates a smooth foot roll and ensures a very natural propulsion and rocker effect.
Engineered Mesh Upper
The upper is made of breathable Engineered Mesh to keep your feet cool. With strategic reinforcements at the midfoot and a thin tongue, it provides a secure, soft, and irritation-free fit, while sporting a modern streamlined design.
New Balance FuelCell Propel v5: For Which Type of Runner?
The Ideal Runner
- All Profiles: The Propel v5 stands out for its excellent value for money and great versatility. It will delight beginners looking for generous cushioning, as well as experienced runners who need a responsive model for their interval training or recovery runs.
- Gait Type: Ideal for universal (neutral) gait. Its 6 mm drop will also perfectly suit runners with a midfoot or forefoot strike.
The Perfect Use
- Daily Training (Daily Trainer): This is the ultimate do-it-all shoe, capable of accompanying you in the greatest comfort during most of your weekly runs.
- Tempo and Interval Runs: The energy return of the FuelCell foam combined with the dynamism of the TPU plate gives you a real boost to speed up your pace on the track or road.
- Long Runs: Its thick midsole (35 mm at the heel) perfectly absorbs shocks, effectively preserving muscle fatigue for distances up to the half marathon.
What Size to Choose for the New Balance FuelCell Propel v5?
The New Balance FuelCell Propel v5 offers a precise fit with a very secure heel counter. However, unlike many models from the brand known for their width, the toe box of this v5 is slightly narrower.
Our Advice: We recommend going half a size to a full size up from your casual shoe size to ensure enough space at the front during effort.
Wide Feet? If you have wide feet, the snug fit of the mesh may cause rubbing. Feel free to opt for the "Wide" versions (2E widths) if available, to fully enjoy the shoe's comfort.
FAQ – New Balance FuelCell Propel v5
Although both feature FuelCell foam, they serve different purposes. The Rebel v4 is a lighter, more flexible shoe without a plate, designed for pure speed. The Propel v5, on the other hand, includes a TPU plate, making it slightly firmer but offering much more stability and versatility for daily training.
No, it does not have a carbon plate, but it is equipped with a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) plate. This material is more flexible and forgiving than carbon. It provides a bouncing effect and facilitates the transition to the forefoot while maintaining natural comfort, very suitable for everyday use.
The shoe has a 6 mm drop (35 mm at the heel, 29 mm at the forefoot). This is a very modern transitional drop that promotes a natural foot strike and is particularly well-suited for runners who strike with their midfoot.
The soft cushioning of the Propel v5 allows you to confidently consider distances up to the half marathon. If you want to run a marathon, it is entirely possible if your goal is to finish comfortably. However, for chasing a record over 42 km, more technical models like the SuperComp Elite would be more appropriate.
No, its upper is made of technical mesh (Engineered Mesh). This fabric is designed to maximize breathability and keep your feet cool, so water will quickly seep in during rain or puddles.
The Propel v5 benefits from good durability thanks to its generous foam thickness and reinforced rubber on the high-wear areas of the outsole. You can expect a lifespan of between 600 and 800 km, depending on your weight and the abrasiveness of the surface.
Absolutely! It is one of the best value-for-money models for starting to run. The FuelCell cushioning excellently absorbs shocks to relieve joints, and the TPU plate forgives gait imperfections by offering great stability.
It is strongly discouraged to put your running shoes in the washing machine, as the heat and water damage the properties of the TPU and foam. Instead, opt for gentle hand cleaning with a small brush, warm water, a bit of soap, and then let them air dry.
