Full details

FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
No, the FuelCell Rebel V4 is designed primarily for road running and gym workouts; the outsole lacks the lugs necessary for traction on technical trail surfaces.
Does the FuelCell foam lose its bounce over time?
Like all performance foams, it will eventually compress. Regular rotation with other shoes can help extend the life of the foam.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell technology?
FuelCell foam is engineered to provide a high-rebound experience, giving the wearer an energetic, snappy feeling during transition phases of the gait cycle.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit consistent with standard athletic shoe sizing, though it is always recommended to try them on with your preferred running socks.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of heel slippage
Use the extra top eyelet to create a lockdown knot or 'runner's loop' to better secure the heel collar.
Upper mesh collecting debris
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently whisk away dust or dirt after outdoor sessions to maintain breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your FuelCell Rebel V4 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are designed for a standard performance fit; ensure your toes have about a thumbnail's width of space to account for natural foot swelling during runs.
- Lacing: Use the additional top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to secure the heel if you experience any slipping.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent. Do not submerge the shoes completely in water.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the foam integrity.
- Replacement: Plan to evaluate the tread and foam compression after 300 to 500 miles of usage.
