FAQs
What type of runs is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is highly versatile and excels in daily training, tempo runs, speed work, and even longer steady runs where you want a responsive feel. It's designed to transition smoothly between different paces.
How does the FuelCell midsole technology work?
FuelCell technology in the Rebel v5 uses a blend of PEBA and EVA foams. This combination delivers exceptional energy return and a dynamic, responsive feel, helping to propel you forward and provide comfortable cushioning.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?
Yes, despite their race-inspired design, the FuelCell Rebel v5 makes an excellent everyday trainer for runners who prefer a lighter, faster, and more responsive shoe for their regular mileage.
How should I clean my New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes?
Gently wipe down the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth. For the midsole and outsole, use a mild soap and water solution if needed. Always air dry at room temperature; avoid machine washing or using direct heat.
What is the fit like for the FuelCell Rebel v5?
The Rebel v5 typically offers a snug, secure, and race-inspired fit, particularly in the streamlined mesh upper. This design aims to minimize movement within the shoe for efficient running. Some runners might find it slightly narrower than other New Balance models.
What is the heel-to-toe drop or stack height of the FuelCell Rebel v5?
Info needed: Specific heel-to-toe drop and stack height details are not provided in the product information. Typically, lightweight, responsive shoes like the Rebel series have a moderate to low drop to encourage a more natural foot strike.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your lacing; sometimes loosening the laces or trying a different lacing pattern (like skipping an eyelet) can improve comfort. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try different running socks.
My feet feel tired quickly during runs.
This could be due to various factors. Ensure the shoe's cushioning is still adequate (running shoes typically last 300-500 miles). Also, consider your running form, and ensure you're not overtraining.
Squeaking sound while running.
Check for any debris stuck in the outsole grooves. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture between the insole and the shoe's footbed; try removing the insole and letting both parts dry completely.
Upper mesh shows signs of premature wear.
Inspect your foot strike and toe-off. Excessive friction from a specific toe or an aggressive foot movement can cause localized wear. Ensure the fit isn't too loose, causing your foot to slide. Gently clean and avoid abrasive materials.

Setup: Simply put on the shoes ensuring a comfortable, snug fit. Experiment with lacing techniques to find what best supports your foot without restricting blood flow. Consider wearing performance running socks for optimal comfort and moisture management. Compatibility: The FuelCell Rebel v5 is primarily designed for road running and track workouts. Its lightweight and responsive nature makes it suitable for paved surfaces, treadmills, and track intervals. It may not offer sufficient grip or protection for technical trail running. Care: To prolong the life of your shoes: - Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. - Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods. - Rotation: Consider rotating your Rebel v5 with other running shoes, especially for different types of runs, to extend their lifespan.
