Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is an adaptable, lightweight trainer designed for adult runners who want a blend of comfort and speed in their daily rotation. Featuring responsive FuelCell technology, these shoes provide a propulsive feel that excels during both steady long runs and faster, spontaneous efforts. While the shoe offers excellent versatility for various training paces, the performance-oriented foam may feel less stable for runners who specifically require high-level motion control or heavy overpronation support.

FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
No, the FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for road and paved surfaces, not rugged trail terrain.
Can I use my own custom orthotics?
The shoe features a removable insole, making it generally compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotics.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Most running shoes of this type should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit standard adult sizing, but it is always recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure the best fit.
Is the material machine washable?
No, we recommend hand cleaning with mild soap and water to avoid damaging the foam and adhesive components.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Upper material showing slight creasing
This is normal for high-performance mesh; ensure you are not tying your laces too tightly, which can put unnecessary pressure on the upper structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate size for your gait; check that there is about a thumb's width of space in the toe box.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after use. If they become wet, stuff the interior with paper towels and let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or inside a hot car, as extreme heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs.
