Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Before your first run, ensure proper lacing for a secure yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points around your arch or instep. Always wear appropriate running socks to enhance comfort and prevent blisters.
Compatibility
These shoes are best suited for road running and track surfaces, where the FuelCell technology can provide optimal energy return and cushioning. While they can handle light, well-maintained gravel paths, their design prioritizes smooth, hard surfaces for maximum performance.
Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your FuelCell Rebel v4s, clean them regularly:
- Remove loose dirt: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove any loose dirt or mud from the upper and outsole.
- Spot clean: For deeper cleaning, mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with cold water. Dampen a cloth or sponge with the solution and gently scrub soiled areas.
- Rinse: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue.
- Air dry: Allow your shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators). Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
