Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult runners who demand both speed and style in their daily miles. By combining advanced PEBA and EVA foam technology with a lightweight mesh construction, it delivers an exceptionally responsive and energized ride suitable for everything from long, steady training sessions to spontaneous fast-paced efforts; however, those requiring heavy stability features may find the focus on lightweight speed less supportive for overpronation.

FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 a stability shoe?
No, it is a neutral trainer designed for speed and responsiveness rather than correcting overpronation.
What materials are used in the construction?
The upper is primarily made from breathable polyester mesh, with a midsole combining PEBA and EVA foam.
Can I use these for marathon racing?
Yes, while designed for daily training, the lightweight and responsive nature of these shoes makes them capable of marathon-distance efforts.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized cleaning; avoid machine washing.
Does this shoe run true to size?
The Rebel v5 generally runs true to New Balance's standard size guide, fitting consistently with other shoes in the FuelCell series.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability
Ensure the laces are secured using a runner's loop or lock-lacing technique to better anchor your heel.
Midsole foam feels stiff
New PEBA-based foams may require a short break-in period of 15-20 miles to fully optimize their responsiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with the FuelCell Rebel v5, ensure you are wearing your correct UK size, specifically the 11.5 for this variant. Because the upper is composed of high-quality polyester mesh, avoid abrasive cleaning tools. If the shoes become soiled, hand wash them with cold water and a mild detergent, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the foam from degrading or the mesh from shrinking. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets to maintain the intended fit of the secure upper construction.
