How should I clean my New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose, causing discomfort.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try different lacing techniques to customize the fit, or experiment with different running socks.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan typically based on mileage (e.g., 300-500 miles). If you've reached significant mileage, the foam may have compressed. Consider if it's time for a new pair. Proper storage can also help maintain foam integrity.

Foot slipping inside the shoe.

Check your lacing; ensure it's snug but not overly tight. Consider trying socks with better grip or a different material composition. A heel lock lacing technique can also help secure your ankle.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

Inspect the outsole for wear, especially in the forefoot area. If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoe's traction will be compromised. Clean any dirt or debris from the outsole grooves regularly.

  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can distort materials and adhesives.
