Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, they are designed for daily training and can handle varied distances, though they are most popular for speed and tempo work.
Does the FuelCell foam lose its bounce?
Like all performance foams, it will compress over time. Proper rotation with other pairs can help prolong the life of the midsole.
Can these be used for gym training?
They are ideal for cardio-focused gym workouts. For heavy weightlifting, a firmer, flatter sole is generally recommended.
Are they true to size?
New Balance typically fits true to size, but the performance fit of the Rebel v5 is designed to be slightly snugger to secure the foot.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains, then air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through all eyelets and consider using a 'runner's loop' at the top to secure the heel.
Foam appears compressed after long storage
Allow the shoe to sit in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours; the FuelCell material typically rebounds once relieved of pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5, it is recommended to allow the shoes to air out after intense workouts to manage moisture within the lining. If the trainers become soiled, clean them by wiping the upper with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the specialized foam structure and adhesive bonds. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks to maintain the intended fit and arch support. Check the outsole regularly for debris caught in the tread pattern to maintain optimal ground contact.
