FAQs
What type of running is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for fast, everyday training. It excels at tempo runs, interval workouts, and can also serve as a lightweight option for longer runs or even races where speed is a priority.
How does the FuelCell midsole technology work?
The FuelCell midsole combines PEBA and EVA foams to deliver a blend of responsiveness and energy return. This technology aims to provide a 'fast' and 'energetic' feel underfoot.
Is this shoe suitable for beginners?
While lightweight and responsive, the race-inspired design might be best suited for runners who have some experience and are looking for a faster training shoe. Beginners might prefer a more cushioned shoe initially, but this could be a good option for a secondary, faster shoe.
How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?
Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the primary difference between the Rebel v5 and other New Balance trainers?
The Rebel v5 is characterized by its extreme lightweight construction and highly responsive FuelCell midsole, focusing on speed and energy return, differentiating it from more cushioned or stability-focused models.
Can I use these shoes for walking or casual wear?
While the cushioning and lightweight design can be comfortable, these trainers are optimized for running. For prolonged walking or casual wear, other footwear might offer better support and durability.
What materials is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from a streamlined, race-inspired mesh, designed for breathability and a lightweight feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them for a more customized fit.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The midsole foam may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might impede performance. Consider if the shoes have reached the end of their typical lifespan for optimal performance.
Upper material feels abrasive
This could be due to a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter distances initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure socks provide adequate coverage to prevent blisters.
