I am a hoka runner since 2013. I have worn them for all of my races and loved them for their innovative shoes especially for long distance runs. But recently I have decided to give some other shoes a tr since I am tired of paying $150 for a pair of shoes. Before hoka, I ran in NB. So it should be obvious that they are going to be one of the shoes that I give a try. My first impressions of these shoes are: well made, light, cushiony and stylish. They were a little stiff out of the box due to their soles but quickly give way. These are a true neutral running shoes with a lot of cushion for your feet. Another thing I love about nb is that they make shoes in wide and x-wide which hoka shoes are notorious for cramped toe boxes causing runner toes and blisters.
These shoes are light on the feet so that you can turn your feet over quickly to achieve a higher cadence and speed. I am impressed with how far NB has come. Oh and one more plus for them is that my initials are on the shoes! Nn! Go NB!

I love New Balance shoes because I have wide feet and NB graciously makes almost all of their shoes in a wide version. But they also make excellent shoes, and that goes pretty much for every NB shoe I’ve worn. When I find a NB version I like, I usually buy several pairs and use them for a couple of years. I think I’ve gone through six pairs of 442 TF shoes for soccer.
As for running shoes, I’m not much of a real runner, but I do it to keep in shape. I got the NB FuelCell Propel v4 to replace a pair of 890s. The 890’s were fantastic–so light that it felt like I wasn’t wearing anything. I also really liked how the uppers fit like a sock.
The FuelCell Propel V4, even though it’s a version behind now, is a more modern running shoe with more modern cushioning. Yeah, we’ve gone from the sort of minimalist phase to running on marshmallows. But I’ll tell you what, the Propel’s feel pretty damn amazing when you put them on. The cushioning is amazing, like you’re walking on clouds. But not just regular clouds; very springy clouds. That’s where the FuelCell technology comes in with the TPU inserts in this shoe. I have to tell you, the energy return is pretty fantastic. The first time I put these guys on, I felt like I had to learn how to walk again–boing, boing, boing! I’ve probably put 30 miles on them now–treadmill, pavement, trail–and they run great on all surfaces. Super stable, super comfortable, and I love them.
So why only four stars? Two reasons. First, there is no gusseted tongue. Okay, this isn’t a major thing and I haven’t had any issues with the tongue coming out of place on either shoe. But I really loved the feeling of the 890s with their gusseted tongue. The uppers just made it felt like the shoe was a part of my foot. NB really missed the mark by leaving this feature out. Second, these shoes are just a little bit on the heavier side. I’m not a marathon runner so it doesn’t really bother me, and it’s not like I’m thinking about it while I’m running. I’m just pointing it out. Really, I’d give these shoes 4.5 stars. If they had the gusseted tongue, they’d be a 5 stars all the way.

Bastante bien los tenis con una excelente amortiguación de impacto, recomendable para entrenamientos rápidos o tiradas largas a ritmos medio-suaves, incluso para caminar bastante cómodos, es una excelente recomendación por su calidad y precio, si eres runner, no te decepcionarás de su versatilidad para entrenar o correr alguna competencia con ellos.
ADRIAN RM –
Excelente comodidad para correr y combinación
María Erika Martínez González –
Es un calzado que te lleva bien a una velocidad cómoda, con una excelente absorción de impacto. No es la más veloz pero cumple con lo anunciado
Pedro –
Es un tenis que se siente con bastante amortiguación, cómodo y ligero, tanto si caminas como si corres. me ajusto bastante bien en el largo y ancho siendo 26.5 cm. El único detalle que note fue que se siente un poco flojo en el amarre de las agujetas.

I have never had a pair of New Balance shoes and thought I would give these FuelCell Propel v4 a chance. They have the same FuelCell foam as New Balance’s Supercomp race lineup, but have a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) plate in them rather than the Energy Arc carbon fiber one like the race shoes. They also don’t have the steep price like a race shoe which was attractive!
I ordered them in my normal size of 10.5 2E US and they feel nice and roomy in the toe box. The upper looks nice and airy based on my basic light testing. The midsole foam had an average of 25 HA from my Shore A Durometer over 6 datapoints and the outsole averaged 55 HA over 6 datapoints. The toe box measured 100.2 mm at the widest point and 78.8 mm at the big toe area. The heel upper measured 79 mm at the heel cup. The midsole forefoot measured 119 mm at the widest point and the heel at 96.1 mm. My normal daily training shoes are the ultra plush cushioned Hoka Bondi 8 which has an average 34 HA on my Shore A Durometer in the midsole foam. The foam just agrees with my feet and legs unlike some others. The shoes at 10.5 2E US weighed in at 307 and 311 grams each which is about 35 grams less than my Bondi 8’s! The one thing I noticed was an irregularity in the logo on the upper.
I jumped on the treadmill for a quick minute to see how the Propel felt and there wasn’t anything I could feel that concerned me, so I headed outside to get a 5k jog in. I’m not a fast runner and really only started jogging last summer. I was surprised to look down at my watch to see that I was at just over 4 minutes at the first half mile. I ended up backing down and recorded a 10:02 first mile. The New Balance FuelCell foam has a great feel! It feels a lot like the foam in my Bondi 8’s. I can’t say that I feel much feedback from the TPU plate like I feel from the carbon fiber plate in my Puma Deviate Nitro first gen shoes. That said, it makes the Supercomp Trainer v2 with more cushioning and the Energy Arc carbon fiber plate even more interesting as a next shoe possibility since they are about 35 grams less than the Propel v4.
6-18-24 update: I am more impressed with these shoes more than a month in and about 75 miles on them. You can see how the outsole is showing very little wear on the Propel v4 against my go to Hoka Bondi 8’s in the latest pictures. The Hoka’s have just about 12 miles more on them than the New Balance.
8-4-24 update: I have two minor knocks against them. One is a knock on all white shoes and that is they are hard to keep clean. The second is that I’m starting to see some wear from my big toe in the right foot toe box as you can see in my latest picture.

The New Balance Men’s FuelCell Propel V4 Running Shoe is a fantastic choice for runners seeking a responsive and comfortable ride. The FuelCell midsole provides a propulsive feel, while the Fresh Foam X cushioning ensures a smooth and comfortable stride. The upper is breathable and provides a secure fit. Highly recommend for runners of all levels!
