FAQs

What is the main benefit of the FuelCell midsole technology?

The FuelCell midsole technology combines PEBA and EVA foams to provide a highly responsive, energetic, and propulsive underfoot feel, making runs feel faster and more dynamic.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for speed and responsiveness, making them excellent for faster-paced runs and shorter races. While they can be used for marathons, runners prioritizing maximum cushioning for ultra-long distances might prefer a different model.

How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?

Clean them using a damp cloth and mild soap. It's best to remove excess dirt after each run and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the weight of the FuelCell Rebel v5?

The trainers weigh approximately 223 grams (7.9 oz), contributing to their lightweight and fast feel.

Is the mesh upper durable?

The engineered mesh upper is designed for lightweight support and breathability. While durable for its intended use, excessive abrasion or rough handling could affect its longevity.

Can I use these trainers for trail running?

These trainers are primarily designed for road running. The outsole offers good grip on pavement, but it is not optimized for the varied and often loose terrain found on trails.

Does the geometric midsole offer stability?

Yes, the geometric midsole extends wider and stacks higher than previous versions, providing enhanced stability and a more energetic transition during your stride.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size and appropriate athletic socks. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning after several uses.

While FuelCell foam is durable, its responsiveness may slightly decrease over very high mileage. Ensure the shoes are clean and that there are no foreign objects inside causing discomfort. Consistent cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Slipping during runs, especially on wet surfaces.

The outsole is designed for good traction, but performance can vary on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean. For very wet conditions, consider using shoes with a more aggressive tread pattern if available.

Upper material feels restrictive.

The FantomFit upper is designed for secure support. If it feels too restrictive, ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. The engineered mesh is intended to be supportive yet breathable; it may loosen slightly with wear.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
