New Balance FuelCell Rebel Trail - Black - Size: 10.5 UK

These shoes are primarily designed for off-road trail running. While they can be used on roads for short distances, their aggressive outsole and cushioning are optimized for uneven terrain, and performance may be compromised on hard, flat surfaces.

Vibram Megagrip is known for its exceptional durability and grip. The 5mm lugs are designed to withstand abrasive trail conditions, providing long-lasting traction.

FuelCell foam provides a highly responsive and energetic ride, helping to propel you forward and absorb impact effectively, making them ideal for fast-paced trail running.

Proper lacing is key. Utilize the lacing system to achieve a snug fit, especially around the midfoot, aided by the gusseted tongue and 3D printed overlays. Avoid overtightening, which can cause discomfort.

These shoes are best suited for unpredictable and technical trail terrain, including mountainous paths, loose gravel, mud, and uneven surfaces, where grip and stability are essential.

The shoes weigh approximately 302.5 grams (10.7 oz) per shoe.

Yes, the Vibram Megagrip outsole provides excellent traction on wet surfaces. The breathable mesh upper will allow water to drain, but they are not waterproof.

The Vibram Megagrip is optimized for a variety of surfaces, but extremely slick, wet rock may still present challenges. Ensure lugs are clear of mud for best performance.

This may be due to the close-to-ground feel and responsiveness of the FuelCell foam. Gradually increase mileage as your feet and legs adapt to the shoe's design.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose. The gusseted tongue and overlays are designed for lockdown, so a proper lacing technique is important.

Trail running naturally leads to dirt accumulation. Follow the care instructions for cleaning to restore the appearance of the mesh.
