FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, while designed as a daily trainer, its lightweight and responsive nature makes it a capable choice for marathon distance, especially for runners who prefer a more ground-connected feel.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
The Rebel v5 is primarily a running shoe. While adequate for light gym sessions, it may lack the lateral stability required for heavy weightlifting.
How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?
The Rebel v5 generally fits true to size, but the performance-oriented fit may feel slightly snugger in the forefoot compared to more cushioned, wide-fitting daily trainers.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight, race-inspired performance polyester mesh.
How long should these shoes last?
Depending on running surface and individual gait, you can typically expect between 300 to 500 miles of consistent performance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of excessive pressure on the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelets where the pressure occurs, to allow more room for the forefoot.
Outsole wearing down quickly
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on road or track surfaces, as abrasive trail terrain will accelerate wear on the performance-focused rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5, properly adjust the laces to match your foot shape without overtightening, as the mesh upper is designed to be pliable. For cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and materials.
