FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

Yes, they are highly capable for marathon training due to their lightweight design, though comfort depends on your preference for cushioning levels over long distances.

Can these be used for trail running?

The Rebel v5 is designed for road surfaces; the outsole is not optimized for technical trail terrain or loose gravel.

How long should the midsole foam last?

While mileage varies based on running style, you can generally expect the responsiveness to remain consistent for 300 to 500 miles.

Is the sizing true to size?

New Balance typically offers a standard fit. If you prefer extra room in the toe box for longer runs, some runners find sizing up half a size beneficial.

What is the main difference between PEBA and EVA foam?

PEBA provides superior energy return and responsiveness, while EVA adds durability and structure to the platform.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping or instability

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and utilize the final eyelet to create a runner's loop for a tighter heel lock.

Upper material accumulation of mud or grit

Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristle brush to avoid pushing debris deeper into the mesh fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight construction
  • Excellent energy return from FuelCell foam
  • Versatile enough for both long runs and speed work
  • Highly breathable mesh upper

Cons

  • Minimalist support features may not suit those needing heavy stability
  • Mesh upper might be less durable than heavier, reinforced alternatives
  • Not intended for extreme off-road or trail conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, always ensure you have selected your correct UK size for a secure, lockdown fit. Because these trainers utilize advanced foam materials, avoid leaving them in extreme heat or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the foam composition. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth; do not submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can compromise the adhesives and material integrity.
