DEVELOPMENT NEW BALANCE FUELL CELL VS. FUELL CELL TC:
The foams used have similar elasticity:
- TC, softer
- Lerato, combination of ACL and molded EVA
Touch very similar despite being higher than the CT. At slow paces you feel more the cushioning in Lerato.
Stability and race dynamics:
- Lerato: solid base, greater stability, greater tread travel, less dynamics with good return.
- Tc: more anatomical base, less stability if you step flat, but more dynamic by favoring the footstep of the middle foot forward. It gets more out of the energy return.
- Lerato, admit any type of runner whatever your physique and footsteps.
- TC, limited to specific type of runners; not recommended for runners of strong physique and more blunt footsteps.
NEW BALANCE FUELL CELL LERATO CONCLUSION:
These Lerato are even closer to the popular runner, that is at a somewhat high price. A wider heel and fore foot, a more armed cover make Lerato a firmer shoe and ideal for training, in this case with carbon plate. In short, it is a shoe that opens its range of users in a very wide way.
