Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel Trail is engineered for adult trail runners who prioritize a close-to-the-ground, responsive feel during technical off-road runs. By combining advanced traction technology with a lightweight, supportive construction, these trainers provide a dynamic underfoot experience across varied terrain; however, users should note that the low-profile design may offer less plush cushioning than traditional maximum-cushion trail shoes.

FAQs
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the FuelCell Rebel Trail is designed for breathability and drainage, meaning it does not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I wear these on paved roads?
While they are optimized for trail use, they can handle short stretches of road; however, prolonged use on concrete may wear the trail-specific lugs down faster.
How do I choose the right size?
The fit is consistent with standard New Balance sizing. We recommend having about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, they are suitable for any adult runner; however, if you are new to trail running, the 'close-to-the-ground' feel may take a few runs to adapt to.
How often should I replace these trail trainers?
Most trail running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the terrain severity and your running style.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during sharp turns
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly against your heel.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider using a pair of low-profile gaiters specifically designed for trail running to close the gap between your ankle and the shoe collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your New Balance FuelCell Rebel Trail trainers, start by ensuring you have the correct size and lace tension to lock your heel in place without constricting circulation.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after each run using a soft-bristled brush.
- Washing: Do not submerge or machine wash. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the adhesive and foam integrity.
- Storage: Store in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup within the lining.
