FAQs
What type of runner is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best for?
This trainer is ideal for adult female runners with a neutral pronation who want a responsive shoe for daily training, tempo runs, and interval sessions.
How does the FuelCell technology feel?
FuelCell technology provides a highly cushioned yet responsive and propulsive feel underfoot, giving you a spring in your step.
Can I use these shoes for marathon training?
Yes, their responsive cushioning and lightweight design make them suitable for marathon training, especially for runners who prefer a faster feel.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best used in dry conditions or light rain.
How should I clean my trainers?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and use mild soap and water for spot cleaning. Always air dry and avoid machine washing.
What is the main difference between this and other New Balance trainers?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is specifically engineered for a highly responsive and energetic ride due to its advanced FuelCell foam, distinguishing it from trainers focused purely on maximum cushioning or stability.
What if I need more support?
If you require more arch or stability support, you might consider New Balance models with specific stability features or consult with a running specialist.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them with a more relaxed tension. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The FuelCell foam may naturally compress after significant mileage. Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that could affect performance.
Discomfort during runs
Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation. Ensure the shoe size and width are appropriate for your foot.
Mesh upper appears worn or snagged
Be mindful of the mesh material when running near rough surfaces or obstacles. Gentle cleaning with a soft brush can help remove surface dirt without causing further damage.
