FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, many runners use the Rebel v5 for long-distance training and racing due to its lightweight and high-energy-return characteristics.
What is the primary difference between the Rebel and Propel series?
The Rebel series is generally more focused on lightweight speed and performance, while the Propel series is often tuned for a slightly more supportive, daily-trainer feel.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and upper materials. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushioning, it does not feature extra medial posting or structural arch support for overpronation.
How do I ensure the right fit?
We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are slightly swollen from the day's activity to ensure enough room for performance running.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel lift while running
Ensure you are using a runner's loop (also known as a lock lacing technique) to secure the heel more firmly in the collar.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after many miles
All performance foams have a lifespan; if you have surpassed 300-500 miles, the foam may have reached the end of its intended energy-return performance window.
Mesh upper accumulating dust or grit
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the mesh holes to maintain breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your FuelCell Rebel v5, ensure you are wearing the correct size for your gait cycle, allowing for a thumb's width of space in the toe box. Since these trainers feature technical mesh and advanced foams, avoid cleaning them in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive bonds and foam integrity. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or degrading. If the insoles become damp after a run, remove them to speed up the drying process.
