Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for adult male runners seeking a high-performance trainer that balances responsiveness with a lightweight feel. Its core strength lies in the advanced FuelCell foam technology, which delivers a bouncy, energetic stride suitable for daily training or speed-focused sessions; however, its minimal structure may not provide enough support for runners requiring high levels of motion control or stability.

FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for flat feet?
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer. Runners with flat feet who require significant arch support or stability may find it lacking in structure.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, many runners use the Rebel v5 for daily high-mileage training due to the responsive foam, though it is a matter of personal preference regarding support levels.
How should I clean the shoes?
Clean by hand using a soft brush, cool water, and mild soap. Never put them in the washing machine or dryer.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers follow standard sizing. If you have worn the brand before, you should find the sizing consistent.
What surface is best for this trainer?
These shoes are designed primarily for road running and track surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet often swell during exercise; try loosening the laces mid-run or ensure you are wearing appropriate technical running socks.
Visible dirt on the upper fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt, or spot clean with a cloth dampened with cool water and a mild detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, ensure you have selected your correct UK size (7.5 for this variant). Before your first run, wear the shoes indoors for several hours to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape. Compatibility-wise, these trainers are best paired with thin, synthetic moisture-wicking running socks to maintain breathability. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying; instead, remove excess mud with a soft brush and wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the foam.
