Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult runners who want a versatile, responsive shoe that can handle everything from steady long-distance miles to high-intensity speed work. Featuring proprietary FuelCell foam, these trainers offer an incredibly propulsive underfoot feel that encourages a snappy turnover, though users should be aware that the lightweight, performance-focused build offers less structural stability than heavy-duty support shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, their lightweight and responsive nature makes them excellent for marathon training, particularly for speed work and tempo runs.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, the stable geometry makes them suitable for light gym use, though they are not intended for heavy weightlifting.
How long will the FuelCell foam last?
Like most performance running shoes, you can typically expect the cushioning to maintain its integrity for 300 to 500 miles of use.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 generally fits true to size for standard UK foot measurements.
How do I maintain the bright pink color?
Avoid exposure to harsh sunlight for extended periods and clean away dirt immediately after runs to prevent staining.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel lift
Adjust your lacing pattern using the top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' for a more secure heel lock.
Excessive dirt or mud on the upper
Allow the mud to dry completely and gently brush it off with a dry, soft-bristled brush to avoid pushing debris into the mesh weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, ensure you have selected the correct UK sizing (this model is a size 9.5). When first using them, it is recommended to wear them on shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike. To care for your shoes, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the polyester mesh with a soft brush and mild soap. Keep them out of direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the foam from degrading prematurely. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally in a shaded area.
