Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for adult runners who prioritize speed and responsiveness in their daily training sessions. By combining a lightweight, race-inspired mesh upper with advanced foam technology, it offers an energetic underfoot feel that transitions seamlessly from steady-state miles to spontaneous tempo runs. While its bold geometry and performance-focused design make it an excellent choice for fast-paced training, those looking for maximum stability for long-distance plodding may find the lightweight, speed-oriented construction less supportive than traditional daily workhorses.

FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 good for marathons?
It is best suited for shorter, faster efforts, though some runners use it for mid-distance training or marathon-pace work.
Does this shoe provide stability?
No, the Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer focused on speed and weight reduction rather than motion control.
How should I clean my New Balance trainers?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not put them in the washing machine.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While intended for running, the lightweight nature makes them decent for light gym use, though they lack the side-to-side stability required for heavy lifting.
How long will the foam last?
Performance foam usually maintains its responsiveness for 300 to 500 miles, depending on the runner's weight and road surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of insufficient arch support
Replace the standard insole with a third-party orthotic designed for your specific arch type.
Upper mesh accumulating dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt, or spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks that allow for proper moisture management. After running in wet conditions, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the foam properties. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can break down the adhesives and structural components of the mesh upper.
