Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 generally fits true to standard athletic sizing, though the performance fit is intended to be snug.
Can I use these for marathon training?
While excellent for speed and tempo training, their suitability for a full marathon depends on your preference for cushioning levels and your specific foot strike mechanics.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Performance trainers typically retain their responsiveness for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual weight.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the shoes utilize an engineered mesh for maximum breathability, which means they are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Are these suitable for gym workouts?
They are primarily designed for running. While they offer good support for light gym sessions, they may not provide the lateral stability needed for heavy weightlifting.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area after initial runs
Ensure you are properly breaking in the shoes with shorter walks or light jogs to allow the FantomFit upper to contour to your foot shape.
Excessive movement or slipping inside the shoe
Re-adjust the laces using a runner's loop or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the midfoot.
Foam feeling less responsive over time
Check if the midsole has been compressed from excessive mileage; rotating with another pair for 24-48 hours can often help the foam recover its structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, start by ensuring you have the correct size for your foot shape; the 11.5 UK size provided here offers a standard fit common to the Rebel series. Because these are performance shoes, it is recommended to rotate them with other pairs to allow the foam to decompress between runs. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean with mild soap and cold water—avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the foam properties and adhesive bonds of the upper. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
