FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
While designed as an everyday trainer, the responsive FuelCell foam makes them capable of handling long-distance runs for many runners, depending on personal preference for cushioning.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are designed for road and paved surfaces. Using them on rugged trails may damage the mesh upper and decrease the lifespan of the outsole.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Like most performance running shoes, they typically last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, weight, and gait.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard athletic shoe sizing. If you prefer a roomier toe box, some runners prefer to size up by a half size.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and adhesive. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of heel slipping
Try using the 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique with the top eyelets to secure your foot.
Material showing wrinkles
Creasing on the foam midsole is normal due to the nature of lightweight performance foams and does not affect the energy return functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5, ensure you are wearing the correct size, as the race-inspired fit is designed to be close-fitting.
- Fit Check: Your toes should have about a thumb's width of space at the front.
- Cleaning: Clean your trainers by wiping them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them in water.
- Drying: Air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the foam and mesh structure.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the foam.
