Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel trainers, proper care is essential. Since these are performance shoes, avoid machine washing, which can compromise the foam and adhesive integrity. Instead, clean the polyester upper by gently brushing off dry debris and using a damp cloth with mild detergent for spot cleaning. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle. For optimal fit, verify that there is approximately a thumb-width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
