FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell midsole?

The FuelCell midsole technology combines PEBA and EVA foams to provide a highly responsive and energetic underfoot sensation, offering excellent energy return with every stride.

Are these trainers suitable for marathon racing?

Yes, the lightweight construction and responsive cushioning make them suitable for marathon racing, particularly for runners who prefer a faster, more agile feel. However, consider your personal preference for cushioning and support on longer distances.

How should I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?

Clean them by spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cool water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying.

What type of runner is this shoe best for?

This shoe is best for neutral runners who want a lightweight, responsive trainer for everyday runs, tempo workouts, and faster efforts. It's designed for those who prioritize speed and energy return.

Can I use these trainers for trail running?

No, these trainers are designed for road running and general fitness. They do not offer the specialized traction or protection required for trail running.

What does 'bold midsole geometry' refer to?

This refers to the distinct, sculpted shape of the midsole, which contributes to the shoe's modern aesthetic and enhances its performance characteristics, such as responsiveness and stability.

What are the main materials used in the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from a streamlined, race-inspired mesh material, designed for breathability and a lightweight feel.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on first wear

The mesh upper is designed to be snug. Wear them for shorter periods initially, and they should adapt to your foot shape. Consider using slightly looser laces if needed.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect the foam's performance. If extensive mileage has been accumulated, the natural wear of the midsole foam may be the cause.

Discomfort during long runs

While versatile, ensure these are the right shoe for your longest runs if you require maximum cushioning or stability. Consider pairing them with a more cushioned trainer for your longest efforts.
