Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel Trail is designed for adult male trail runners who prefer a close-to-the-ground feel and high-performance responsiveness during off-road excursions. By combining specialized traction with durable polyester construction, these trainers provide a stable and dynamic experience on uneven terrain, though runners requiring extreme levels of ankle stability or max-cushioning might find the low-profile design less forgiving on technical, rocky surfaces.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the shoes are designed with breathable polyester for airflow, so they are not categorized as waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the outsole is optimized for trail traction and will wear down faster if used primarily on concrete or asphalt.
How should I clean my FuelCell Rebel Trail shoes?
Hand wash with a mild soap and a soft brush. Never submerge in water or use a washing machine, as this can damage the midsole foam.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from durable, high-performance polyester.
Is this model suitable for wide feet?
The fit is athletic and responsive, which is generally standard; if you require a wide fit, consider trying a half-size up or consulting a professional shoe fitter.
Troubleshooting
Upper material showing signs of dirt accumulation
Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off, then use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe the polyester fibers.
Feeling discomfort during the first few runs
Ensure the laces are not overtightened; the polyester upper offers a snug fit, so adjust tension to accommodate natural foot swelling during exercise.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Lightweight and breathable polyester material

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify your sizing as the FuelCell Rebel Trail fits true to typical athletic standards. Before your first long run, spend a few sessions walking or performing light jogs to allow the upper to adapt to your foot shape. Compatibility with standard aftermarket insoles is possible if you require additional arch support. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources. Clean the exterior by brushing off dried mud and wiping the polyester surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight which can degrade the performance materials.
