How much does the shoe weigh?

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system to provide more or less pressure. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced energy return over time
The midsole foam's responsiveness can decrease with extensive mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on wear and usage.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The traction pods provide grip, but extreme wet conditions can challenge any outsole. Run with caution on very wet or slick surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance Fuel Cell Rebel v5 comes ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred comfort and security level. The sock-like construction of the upper means it adapts to the foot's shape.
Compatibility: This is a neutral running shoe, best suited for runners with a neutral foot strike or those who use their own orthotics. It is designed for road running and other hard surfaces.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like car trunks for extended periods.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate between multiple pairs of running shoes to allow them to fully dry and recover between runs.
