Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 Trainers are designed for neutral runners who prioritize a fast, lively, and energetic road-running experience. By utilizing a high-rebound FuelCell midsole and a lightweight, breathable mesh upper, these shoes provide exceptional comfort and responsiveness during high-intensity training sessions. While they excel in speed and agility, potential users should note that the focus on a lightweight build means they offer less structural support compared to dedicated stability or motion-control running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon distances?
While comfortable, the Rebel v5 is optimized for faster, shorter to middle-distance efforts. Marathon suitability depends on your personal preference for cushioning and support.
Does this model work for neutral runners?
Yes, the FuelCell Rebel v5 is specifically designed for neutral runners.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are primarily designed for road running, but they can be used for light gym work; however, the soft midsole may feel unstable during heavy lifting.
How do I ensure the correct size?
New Balance trainers generally fit true to size. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these waterproof?
No, these shoes are designed with a mesh upper for maximum breathability and are not waterproof.
What is the primary difference between the Rebel v5 and other series?
The Rebel series focuses on a lightweight, high-rebound experience, prioritizing speed and energy return over the heavy support found in other New Balance stability series.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel area
Try a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to better secure the heel counter against your foot.
Midsole feeling less responsive over time
Foam compression is normal after many miles; ensure the shoes have at least 24-48 hours to recover between long runs.
Upper material appearing loose or frayed
Avoid running on rough, abrasive surfaces and ensure you are wearing the correct size to prevent excessive friction against the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, follow these maintenance practices. Ensure the shoes are properly laced using the gusseted tongue to maintain a snug, secure fit before your first run. If the shoes become dirty, gently brush off loose mud or dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Hand-wash them using mild soap and cool water if necessary, but avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives. Air-dry them away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of the midsole materials.
