FAQs
What type of runner is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?
This shoe is ideal for adult male runners seeking a lightweight, neutral shoe for training runs, tempo efforts, and speed workouts on the road.
What is the main difference between this and a max-cushion shoe?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 prioritizes a responsive and fast feel over maximal cushioning. It offers a good balance but is not designed for the ultra-plush experience of dedicated max-cushion shoes.
Can I use these shoes for marathon racing?
Yes, many runners find the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for marathon racing due to its lightweight and responsive nature, especially if they prefer a faster feel over maximum cushioning.
How should I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes?
Wipe them with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, and allow them to air dry at room temperature.
What is the stack height and drop of this shoe?
The midsole stack height is 35 mm at the heel and 29 mm at the forefoot, resulting in a 6 mm drop.
Is this shoe suitable for wet conditions?
While the shoe can handle light moisture, it is designed for road running and may not offer optimal grip or water protection in very wet or muddy conditions.
What does 'FuelCell' technology mean?
FuelCell is New Balance's proprietary performance foam technology, which combines PEBA and EVA to deliver a highly responsive and energetic ride.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight/loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are snug but not constricting. For a looser feel, try a different lacing technique or ensure the tongue is positioned correctly.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before attempting longer distances. Check for any debris inside the shoe.
Midsole feels less responsive over time
Foam cushioning naturally breaks down with use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on usage and surface.
Upper material seems dirty
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and midsole. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
