New Balance FuelCell Rebel Trail Trainers - Black - UK 9.5

These shoes are specifically designed for mountainous and unpredictable trail terrain, offering excellent grip and stability on loose, uneven, and rocky surfaces.

FuelCell foam provides a responsive and propulsive cushioning that helps drive you forward, enhancing speed and energy return during runs.

Yes, the upper is made of lightweight and breathable mesh, designed to promote airflow and keep your feet cool and comfortable during activity.

The 3D printed overlays add structural support and abrasion resistance to the mesh upper in key areas, enhancing durability and foot security without adding significant weight.

The gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, which helps to create a snug midfoot lockdown. Ensure your laces are tied appropriately to maximize this secure fit.

While they offer excellent grip and support, they are optimized for the dynamic demands of trail running. For extended, slower-paced hiking, a dedicated hiking boot might offer more specific features like ankle support.

The approximate weight is 302.5 grams (10.7 oz) per shoe.

Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean and free of debris. The deep lugs are designed for varied terrain; performance may vary on extremely slick or polished surfaces.

Verify the shoe size is correct and allows for adequate toe room. Ensure socks are suitable for running and manage moisture. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs.

The 3D printed overlays and gusseted tongue are designed for support. Try adjusting the lacing to find a more comfortable, secure fit without over-tightening.

The FuelCell foam is designed for responsiveness and a close-to-the-ground feel. If a softer ride is preferred, consider a different model with more cushioning. Allow time for the midsole to break in with use.
