FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the FuelCell Rebel v5?

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for fast runs, pace efforts, speed workouts, and road running where a lightweight, responsive, and energetic ride is desired.

What type of runner is this shoe best for?

It is best suited for adult male runners with a neutral gait who are looking for a shoe that offers speed, responsiveness, and good cushioning for training and racing.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop is 6mm.

How much do these shoes weigh?

The approximate weight of the shoe is 223g.

Can I use these for marathon racing?

While they offer excellent cushioning and responsiveness for shorter races and faster workouts, their primary design is for speed and pace efforts. For very long marathon distances, some runners might prefer a shoe with more inherent stability or a slightly different cushioning profile, though they can be used by those who prioritize a light and fast feel.

Are these shoes suitable for trails?

No, these shoes are specifically designed for road running surfaces and may not provide adequate grip or protection for trail running.

How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or drying, and allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution. If still too tight, consider if this is the correct size or if the upper needs a short break-in period.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Ensure the shoes are not overly saturated with water and have been allowed to dry properly. Excessive moisture can affect foam performance. Check for any debris or blockages in the outsole grooves.

Discomfort during runs

Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure you are using appropriate running socks. Consider if the shoe's neutral support is adequate for your gait; if not, a stability shoe might be more suitable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning and energy return from the FuelCell midsole.
  • Lightweight construction promotes speed and agility.
  • Comfortable and secure fit from the aerodynamic upper.
  • Versatile for various types of faster running workouts.
  • Modern and appealing design.

Cons

  • Neutral support may not be suitable for overpronators.
  • May not offer enough stability for heavier runners or long-distance endurance.
  • The aggressive design might be perceived as too flashy for casual wear by some.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: The FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed primarily for road running surfaces. It is compatible with most running socks. As a neutral shoe, it is best suited for runners with a neutral pronation.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
