FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathons?

While they are excellent for training, their performance is best suited for shorter to mid-distance speed work. Some runners may find the lack of deep stability limiting for full marathon distances.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel V5 weighs approximately 223 grams.

Does this shoe provide arch support?

This is a neutral running shoe and does not include targeted arch correction. It is designed for runners with a neutral gait.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While primarily a road running shoe, the stable yet cushioned platform makes them suitable for general gym sessions and treadmill work.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability during corners

Ensure the laces are secured firmly using the runner's loop; the lightweight upper requires a snug fit to keep the foot centered.

Foam feeling flat after use

Allow the midsoles to rest for at least 24 hours between runs to let the PEBA/EVA foam fully rebound to its original density.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight for faster turnover
  • Responsive cushioning for improved energy return
  • Versatile for both daily training and speed sessions
  • Sleek and modern Black and Red colorway

Cons

  • Neutral design lacks extra support for overpronation
  • Low-weight build prioritizes speed over long-term durability
  • Might feel too thin for runners preferring maximum stack height

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, ensure the shoe is properly sized; a snug but not tight fit is ideal for locking the foot in during fast turns. Because these are performance trainers, they are best suited for asphalt and concrete surfaces. Keep the mesh upper clean by gently wiping away dirt with a damp cloth after runs, and avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the foam composition and adhesive bonds. Air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
