FuelCell foam combines PEBA and EVA to deliver a highly responsive and cushioned experience, providing energetic feedback with each step.

How should I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, they can be suitable for marathon running, especially for runners who prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe and have a neutral gait. However, consider your personal preferences for cushioning and support over very long distances.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and ensure they are threaded evenly. If still too tight, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
The midsole foam may take a few runs to break in. If performance degrades significantly over time, the foam may have reached the end of its lifespan.
Discomfort during runs.
Ensure the shoes are laced properly for your foot type. Consider if the shoe is suitable for your gait (neutral) and intended use.
Upper material appears worn quickly.
Avoid abrasive surfaces and ensure proper care to maintain the integrity of the lightweight upper.
