Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for runners and fitness enthusiasts who prioritize speed and a lightweight feel for their daily training sessions. Utilizing advanced FuelCell midsole technology, this trainer delivers a highly reponsive, energetic ride suitable for both steady-state runs and spontaneous tempo workouts. While its performance-focused design is excellent for speed, users should be aware that the stripped-back, minimalist construction may offer less long-term durability or structure than a traditional high-mileage daily trainer.

FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for flat feet?
The Rebel v5 is a neutral running shoe. While it provides a comfortable ride, those requiring specific orthotics or significant arch support should consult with a professional.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are primarily road trainers. Their outsole is optimized for asphalt and track surfaces, so they may not provide sufficient grip on loose or uneven trail terrain.
Does the polyester material stretch over time?
The performance mesh is designed to be durable, but it will naturally conform slightly to your foot's shape after consistent use.
How should I store them to maintain the foam?
Store them in a temperature-controlled environment and keep them away from direct sunlight, which can cause the foam to prematurely harden.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, the New Balance FuelCell series fits true to standard UK sizing, though we recommend trying them on while wearing your preferred running socks.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable on sharp corners
Ensure the laces are snug using the top eyelet to secure the heel, preventing internal slippage.
Visible debris in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt once the shoe is completely dry.
Foam feels 'flat' after high-mileage
Ensure you are rotating the shoe with another pair to allow the foam to fully decompress for 24-48 hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5, follow these recommendations.
- Break-in: While the shoes feel ready out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the mesh to conform to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid the washing machine, as high temperatures and heavy agitation can damage the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, shaded area. Never place these trainers in a tumble dryer or directly near a heater, as heat degrades the FuelCell foam technology.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, ventilated area to prevent odor buildup and maintain the integrity of the breathable polyester mesh.
