FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, their lightweight and responsive design makes them a popular choice for marathons, provided you are comfortable with a less structured, neutral shoe.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed for roads and track surfaces; they lack the aggressive lugs and protective upper required for technical trail terrain.
Are they true to size?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 typically fits true to size, though the race-inspired fit is streamlined and snug compared to traditional wide-fit trainers.
How often should I replace them?
It is generally recommended to replace performance trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
What is the primary material in the midsole?
The midsole uses a high-performance blend of PEBA and EVA foams to maximize energy return and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long runs
Feet often swell during exercise. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks and consider loosening the laces during your run.
Foam feels less responsive over time
Like all running shoes, the midsole foam will eventually compress. If you exceed 300-500 miles, the cushioning may begin to degrade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Since these are performance trainers, they are best suited for road and synthetic track surfaces rather than rugged trails.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or surface dirt. For deeper stains, hand wash with a mild detergent and cold water. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry environment to prevent the degradation of the midsole compounds.
