Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult runners who demand a lightweight, responsive feel during both steady distance runs and rapid, spontaneous speed work. Combining a sleek, speed-focused aesthetic with advanced foam technology, it offers an energetic underfoot experience that stands out on the track or the road, though its specialized focus on responsiveness means it may lack the heavy-duty stability features found in dedicated motion-control shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, they are suitable for runners who prefer a lightweight, responsive shoe for long-distance efforts.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are optimized for running, their stable, responsive nature makes them suitable for light gym work, though they are not designed for heavy weightlifting.
How should I clean the white upper?
Use a damp cloth and a gentle cleaning solution to wipe down the mesh; avoid harsh chemicals that might yellow the fabric.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they follow standard athletic sizing, but it is always recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front for toe splay.
What is the primary difference between the Rebel and Propel series?
The Rebel series is generally more focused on lightweight speed and responsiveness, whereas the Propel series often emphasizes a slightly different balance of cushioning and stability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Ensure the laces are snug, specifically using the 'runner's loop' at the top eyelet to secure the heel.
Midsole foam feels stiff in cold temperatures
Allow the shoes to sit in a room-temperature environment for an hour before running; the foam compounds perform best above freezing temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear these trainers with moisture-wicking running socks to complement the breathable mesh upper. Before your first long run, perform a short 3-5 mile 'break-in' session to allow the midsole to adapt to your foot strike. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing or drying; instead, spot clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild detergent. Remove the insoles after wet runs to let the interior air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which helps preserve the integrity of the foam.
