FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell midsole?
The FuelCell midsole combines PEBA and EVA foams to provide a highly responsive and energetic underfoot feel, making your runs feel more dynamic and propulsive.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While versatile for various distances, they are best suited for shorter to mid-distance races and tempo training due to their focus on speed and responsiveness rather than maximum long-distance cushioning.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and ensure a snug but not constricting fit. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?
They can be used for light gym activities, but their design is optimized for running. For heavy lifting or lateral movements, dedicated training shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a streamlined, race-inspired mesh, designed to be lightweight and breathable.
How does the FuelCell Rebel v5 compare to other New Balance trainers?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is known for its lightweight, fast feel and responsive cushioning, often positioned for performance and faster running days, whereas models like the FuelCell Propel might offer a slightly more balanced approach for daily training.
What kind of pattern do these trainers feature?
The trainers feature a geometric pattern, contributing to their modern and standout aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If still too tight, check if the laces are tied too tightly or consider trying a half-size up if available.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The midsole foam may naturally compress after significant mileage. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect performance. Consider if the shoes have reached the end of their typical lifespan for optimal performance.
Discomfort in the arch area
This could be due to the shoe's natural arch support or your foot's specific needs. Try adjusting the lacing system or consider using aftermarket insoles for customized support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The FuelCell Rebel v5 comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first run. It is recommended to wear them with performance running socks for optimal comfort and moisture management.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for male adult runners. They are suitable for a variety of road running surfaces and treadmill use. They are not specifically designed for trail running or heavy weightlifting.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally not in direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: For extended shoe life and optimal performance, consider rotating these with another pair of running shoes.
