Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for neutral runners and fitness enthusiasts who prioritize a lightweight, responsive feel for their daily training sessions. By combining a race-inspired mesh upper with advanced foam technology, it offers an energetic underfoot experience that adapts well to both steady-state mileage and faster, spontaneous efforts. While its versatility is a highlight, the highly streamlined design may not offer the heavy-duty stability or extra cushioning preferred by runners who require maximum structural support.

Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or lack of lockdown
Try using a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to secure the ankle collar better.
Accumulation of debris in the mesh
Gently tap the shoes against each other outdoors or use a soft-bristled dry brush to dislodge particles.
Midsole foam feels damp after a workout
Remove the insoles and place the shoes in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours to allow moisture to evaporate completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 remains in peak condition, proper maintenance is key. Since these trainers feature a specialized mesh upper, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the material and adhesives. Instead, clean surface dirt with a soft brush or a cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the foam. Ensure the laces are tightened comfortably to match your foot shape to maximize the benefit of the lockdown provided by the race-inspired upper construction.
