The New Balance FuelCell Propel v4 Permafrost combines the features of the New Balance Propel v4 with a DWR-treated waterproof upper and a HydroHesion rubber outsole in this version.
The New Balance FuelCell Propel v4 Permafrost is a running shoe that is designed for running during the fall and/or winter months to withstand the rains and bad weather of those times of the year and provide better traction on wet and slippery surfaces.
New Balance expands its catalog of running shoes with the Permafrost system with one of the mixed shoes par excellence of the American brand and that stands out for its great versatility.
The New Balance FuelCell Propel v4 Permafrost thus joins the catalog of shoes with this system that could already be found in the market last season and that we detailed in the article "These New Balance with Permafrost will be your next training shoes this winter, although you do not know it yet".
The upper features a DWR water resistant treatment for running on wet surfaces, plus another difference from the New Balance FuelCell Propel v4 are the laces that feature a quick release, so you can easily put them on and take them off when you need gloves.
In addition, the shoe has reflective effects in different areas of the shoe, designed to provide greater protection when running in low light, a very common situation during the months when we have fewer hours of sunshine to run.
The midsole of the shoe has one of the star compounds of the brand, the FuelCell, combined in this version, with a TPU plate, in order to maximize comfort and traction to help us maintain top speeds during our workouts or competitions.
The outsole is made of HydroHesion rubber that helps us to maintain grip in wet and humid conditions while running in winter or in areas where rain and bad weather prevail in the coldest months of the year.
The New Balance FuelCell Propel v4 Permafrost is one of the brand' smixed shoes parexcellence, so runners of light, even medium weight and with neutral stride technique will be able to extract the maximum performance from the shoe, either in training or in competitions during the worst weather months of the year.
In terms of pace, it is a shoe that can be used to run at a fast pace in series, changes of pace or even daily runs at a pace of less than 5 minutes per kilometer without any problems. Regarding the ideal distances for the shoe, we could use it up to middle distance.
The weight of the shoe is slightly higher than its sister shoe, specifically, it weighs 323 grams in the men's version and 257 grams in the women's version.
In short, we have in the New Balance FuelCell Propel v4 Permafrost, a very good shoe for training or competing during the winter thanks to the Permafrost system that gives us extra protection to run fast and comfortable in adverse environmental conditions.
