FAQs

What type of runner is the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4 for?

The FuelCell Rebel v4 is ideal for casual to experienced runners looking for a versatile, dynamic shoe for fast training, tempo runs, and races from 5km up to a half-marathon distance.

What running surfaces is this shoe best suited for?

This shoe is primarily designed for road running ('route'). Its outsole provides optimal traction and durability for paved surfaces.

How does FuelCell technology benefit my run?

FuelCell foam is engineered to deliver a highly propulsive feel and effective energy return, helping to drive you forward and make your runs feel more responsive and dynamic.

What is Ndurance?

Ndurance is a carbon-reinforced rubber compound used in the outsole, particularly at the heel, to provide increased durability and resistance to wear in high-impact areas.

How much does the FuelCell Rebel v4 weigh?

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4 weighs approximately 180g, making it a very lightweight option for speed-focused training and racing.

Can I use the Rebel v4 for daily training?

Yes, its versatile design and adaptable cushioning make it suitable for a wide range of daily training runs, from steady long runs to faster tempo efforts.

How should I clean my FuelCell Rebel v4 shoes?

For light cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Always air dry your shoes completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or causes pressure points.

Re-lace the shoes, ensuring not to overtighten. Experiment with different lacing patterns, especially if you have high insteps or wider feet. The FantomFit upper is designed for a close fit, but it should not be uncomfortable.

Heel slipping during runs.

Utilize the extra eyelets at the top of the lacing system to create a 'heel lock' or 'runner's knot'. Ensure your socks are not too thin or slippery, and that the shoe is laced snugly but not overly tight.

Poor grip on wet surfaces.

While designed for road, all shoes can have reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces. Be mindful of your footing and adjust your pace. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that might hinder traction.

Unpleasant odor from shoes.

After each run, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid stuffing them into a gym bag immediately. Using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees can also help absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on use and runner's weight. If the FuelCell foam feels less propulsive, it might be time to consider a new pair. Proper care and rotation can help maximize lifespan.

Cons

  • Info needed: May not offer maximal stability for runners requiring significant pronation control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Initial Setup 1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes fully and slide your foot in. Ensure your heel is seated comfortably at the back of the shoe. 2. Tighten Laces: Starting from the toe box, gradually tighten the laces, ensuring a snug but not overly restrictive fit. The gusseted tongue helps prevent slippage. 3. Heel Lock: Use the extra eyelets at the top of the lacing system for a 'heel lock' lacing technique if you experience heel slippage. 4. Test Run: Walk around to ensure comfort and check for any pressure points before your first run. ### Compatibility The FuelCell Rebel v4 is primarily designed for road running (route). It is suitable for: - Occasional to experienced runners. - Fast training sessions (entraînements rapides). - Tempo runs (séances de tempo run). - Competitions on short to medium distances (5 km to semi-marathon). ### Care & Maintenance 1. Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. 2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Remove the insoles to help them dry faster and prevent odor. 3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. 4. Odour Prevention: Consider using shoe deodorizers or stuffing them with newspaper to absorb moisture and combat odors after use. 5. Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Rebel v4s with another pair of running shoes to extend their lifespan, especially given the enhanced durability of the Ndurance outsole.
