FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
While capable of long distances, they are optimized for speed and daily training. Runners preferring extra stability for very high-mileage events may find other models more suitable.
What does the PEBA/EVA foam do?
This combination provides a balance of lightweight responsiveness from PEBA and durability from EVA, creating a 'bouncy' and supportive ride.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, their lightweight and responsive nature makes them excellent for dynamic gym activities, though they are primarily designed for forward-motion running.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
We recommend measuring your feet while wearing socks similar to those you plan to run in. Ensure there is about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Does the FuelCell Rebel v5 come in wide sizes?
Current inventory focuses on standard widths; please check the specific product listing to confirm available width options.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure you are using the correct size; check that your arch height is compatible with the neutral profile of this trainer.
Upper material showing signs of dirt
Use a damp cloth and a gentle cleaning solution; do not submerge the shoes completely.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot your laces or replace them with higher-friction athletic laces if you find they loosen during intense speed sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, proper maintenance is essential:
- Break-in Period: While ready for use out of the box, perform short, easy runs initially to allow the foam to conform to your unique stride.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the foam integrity.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the mesh upper to fade or the foam to degrade prematurely.
- Rotation: If training daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the cushioning foam to recover fully between uses.
