- Is the RC Elite v2 good for a first marathon?
- Yes. The soft foam and higher 10 mm drop make it more forgiving than most carbon racers, which suits runners new to plated shoes over long distances.
- How does it compare with the original RC Elite?
- The v2 keeps the FuelCell foam and carbon plate but is lighter and gets a revised knit upper. Reviewers say the ride is similar, with a slightly better fit.
- Can I use it for daily training?
- It is a racing shoe. The soft foam and thin outsole wear quickly with daily mileage, so most runners keep it for races and key workouts.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It fits close and runs narrow. Runners with wider feet often go up half a size; otherwise most take their usual New Balance size.
- Is it stable enough for overpronators?
- It is a neutral racer with no posted support. Mild overpronators may manage, but runners needing stability should look at a support shoe.
- What drop does it have?
- 10 mm, higher than the 4–8 mm typical of carbon-plated racers, which eases calf strain for heel strikers.
