FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are designed for versatile daily training and can handle high-mileage blocks effectively.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While intended for running, the stable, low-profile nature of the shoe makes it suitable for light gym work, though it is not a dedicated lifting shoe.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning.
Does the FuelCell foam lose its bounce over time?
Like all foam-based trainers, there is a natural compression limit. You can expect consistent performance for approximately 300-500 miles.
Are these true to size?
Yes, the Rebel v5 is designed to fit standard adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the snug upper requires a half-size increase.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Try adjusting your lacing technique to loosen the tension across the midfoot or use a thinner sock.
Outsole wearing down quickly
Ensure the shoes are primarily used on road surfaces; using them on abrasive or gravel terrain will significantly accelerate wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, start by ensuring a proper fit; because of the performance-focused design, these shoes fit true to size but may feel snug across the midfoot. If you intend to wear thicker performance socks, consider this when sizing. For maintenance, keep the mesh upper clean by gently wiping away dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fatigue.
