FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Rebel v5 is well-suited for moderate to high mileage training, especially for runners who prefer a lightweight feel.
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 a stability shoe?
No, this is a neutral trainer designed for efficiency and speed rather than correcting overpronation.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft cloth, then allow to air dry.
Does this shoe run true to size?
Yes, it is designed with standard athletic sizing, though those with wider feet may want to consider a half-size increase depending on personal preference.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are optimized for running, their stable, low-profile geometry makes them acceptable for light gym use and cardio classes.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Foam feeling less responsive after many miles
Ensure the shoes have 24-48 hours to decompress between runs, as this allows the foam to recover its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, focus on proper fit and maintenance. When first trying on the shoe, ensure your foot is centered on the footbed to take advantage of the engineered geometry. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and mesh upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as these can break down the performance foams. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with paper towels to draw out moisture, allowing them to air-dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam.
