FAQs
What is the main benefit of the FuelCell technology?
FuelCell technology provides a highly responsive and energetic cushioning experience, helping to propel you forward with each step.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 features an improved, wider geometric midsole for enhanced stability, which may offer a more accommodating feel. However, they are based on standard women's sizing.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to New Balance's official sizing chart, paying close attention to their UK sizing guidelines for women.
Can I wear these for gym workouts or cross-training?
While the cushioning is versatile, these trainers are optimized for running. For specific gym activities or cross-training, dedicated footwear might offer better support and stability.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of Nylon, offering a breathable and lightweight feel.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Most running shoes, including the FuelCell Rebel v5, are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 kilometers) or when cushioning and support noticeably decrease.
Does this model come in other colors?
Yes, the FuelCell Rebel v5 series is available in a variety of colorways for women, including Orange/Grey, Green/Purple, Pink/Grey, and others.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled excessively tight. If the issue persists, consider if this size is appropriate for your foot.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (running). Excessive use on harsh surfaces or for non-running activities can degrade midsole foam faster. Clean the shoes to remove dirt that might affect performance.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The textured grip tread is designed for general traction. For extremely wet or slick conditions, proceed with caution. Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can reduce grip.
