New Balance is betting big with one of its latest launches, the new New Balance FuelCell Lerato, which is presented as a daily training shoe that includes a carbon fiber plate to add more efficiency in each of your long distance runs, while ensuring a superior and soft cushioning with great rebound.
It's clear to see that this new New Balance FuelCell Lerato is a whole new concept that marries the high performance of Running shoes with the Boston-based brand's flashier casual shoe styling. It also adds enough stability and durability to run a large volume of kilometers at rather calm and soft rhythms with very comfortable sensations.
The New Balance Lerato is one of the members of the select FuelCell family. In fact, this new model incorporates the same midsole as the latest generation silhouettes such as the New Balance Rebel v2 and the New Balance RC Elite, which excel in lightness, softness and running efficiency.
The combination of FuelCell foam and carbon fiber plate make these Lerato's a model that provides a reliable ride with great bounce back for more mileage with superior cushioning.
No doubt that the points of these New Balance FuelCell Lerato shoes go beyond its midsole, because this model also includes a TPU fork in the heel area to increase that feeling of stability and support in each step, making it a valid option for runners with neutral footprint and mild-moderate pronators.
As for the upper, the New Balance FuelCell Lerato features a multi-material construction that combines to offer a comfortable fit and support. The outer technical mesh is durable, but it also offers optimal foot conformability. While the internal mesh, in the form of a bootie, is more elastic and thinner, adding comfort and breathability to the model as a whole.
The amount of rubber on the outsole is not unnoticed either, improving traction, but, above all, offering more resistance to abrasion and, therefore, increasing the lifespan of this running shoe in a remarkable way.
As a summary, and taking into account the most cutting-edge materials and most innovative technologies of these New Balance FuelCell Lerato, we are talking about a high-performance daily training shoe:
With that clear concept of maximalist midsole, the New Balance FuelCell Lerato have a drop of 8 millimeters (32mm./24mm.). Despite its really high weight of about 340 grams, this FuelCell Lerato behaves like a comfortable, responsive and lightweight training shoe.
Despite that reactive FuelCell foam, the New Balance FuelCell Lerato is intended for long distance running at rather soft and easy paces. That is, easy and endurance runs, even for recovery runs. They are not fast, but they do offer enough bounce to propel you forward.
