FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
While highly versatile, they are generally geared toward daily training and speed work. Whether they suit your marathon needs depends on your preference for a lightweight, responsive feel versus maximum cushion.
Does the Rebel v5 provide arch support?
The design is neutral; it does not feature corrective posting or high-density foam for severe overpronation.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are designed primarily for running. While comfortable for general wear, the high-stack foam is not optimized for heavy weightlifting or lateral movements.
How does the sizing run?
New Balance generally offers a standard fit. If you prefer extra space for toe splay during long runs, some users prefer a half-size up.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed from breathable polyester mesh, chosen for its light weight and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose during sprints
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique with the top eyelet to secure the fit around the ankle.
Soles collecting debris
The bold midsole geometry may pick up small pebbles; inspect and clear the outsole tread pattern periodically to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines. Before your first run, wear the shoes indoors for several hours to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot shape.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a damp cloth after runs. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the foam properties.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heaters.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of the midsole foam materials.
- Replacement: Replace your shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual wear patterns, to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
