The New Balance FuelCell Propel v5 (2E Wide) Men’s Running Shoes
The New Balance FuelCell Propel v5 is a solid option for runners who want comfort, responsiveness, and versatility in one shoe. It’s built to handle everything from easy mileage to tempo efforts and longer weekend runs, without feeling heavy or overbuilt.
Underfoot, the FuelCell midsole foam delivers a lively, propulsive ride that helps you roll smoothly through each stride. Around 3% of that foam is made from bio based content sourced from renewable materials, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance. A TPU plate through the midsole adds snap at toe off, which is especially noticeable when you pick up the pace.
Up top, the structured synthetic upper keeps the shoe breathable and secure, giving you support where you need it while still feeling lightweight. The 2E wide fit makes this a strong choice for runners who need extra room across the forefoot but don’t want to lose stability.
