The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is a high-performance, ultra-lightweight running shoe designed for runners who prioritize speed and versatility during tempo training or race-day efforts. Combining a high-rebound PEBA/EVA foam blend with an engineered mesh upper, it offers exceptional energy return and breathability; however, its minimalist design may lack the extensive stability features required by runners who need heavy arch support.

While capable, it is optimized for tempo and speed training. Runners who prefer a firmer, lighter feel for long-distance efforts may enjoy it, but those needing extra cushion for 26.2 miles may prefer a more maximalist model.
The Rebel v5 is a neutral running shoe and does not include specific stability features for overpronation. It relies on the natural geometry of the midsole.
Spot clean using a mild soap and a soft damp cloth. Never put these shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam and upper materials.
Yes, the shoe generally fits true to size for standard UK sizing, though the FantomFit upper has a performance-oriented, snug-feel fit.
The Rebel v5 uses a blend of both; PEBA is known for being extremely light and providing high energy return, while EVA adds stability and durability to the structure.
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to perform a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to secure the ankle.
Remove the insole and stuff the shoe with newspaper or a moisture-wicking cloth to draw out internal sweat overnight.
Allow the dirt to dry completely and gently tap the sole of the shoe to dislodge it, or use a soft dry brush.
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these maintenance practices. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the FantomFit mesh to avoid creating pressure points on the top of the foot. When cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the mesh and midsole. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high temperatures can degrade the foam's integrity and the adhesive bond of the sole.
