FAQs

Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for flat feet?

While the shoe provides neutral cushioning, runners with severe overpronation may prefer a dedicated stability model.

Can I use these for long-distance marathon training?

Yes, many runners find the FuelCell foam comfortable enough for long-distance training, provided they prefer a more responsive, lightweight feel.

Does the shoe fit true to size?

New Balance trainers generally follow standard sizing; however, it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.

How often should I replace these trainers?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if you run in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping or heel instability

Try using the additional eyelet at the top of the shoe for a 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the foot.

Upper mesh collecting dust or debris

Use a dry, soft brush to lightly flick away debris after every run to keep the ventilation holes clear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally responsive FuelCell cushioning
  • Lightweight and breathable mesh upper
  • Adaptable for both long runs and speed work
  • Stylish, modern aesthetic with varied color options

Cons

  • Less supportive for runners requiring heavy stability
  • Minimalist design may feel less substantial than max-cushion trainers
  • Upper material requires careful cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best performance from your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, ensure they are laced securely to match your foot shape—utilizing the top eyelet if you prefer a 'runner's loop' for better heel lock.

  • Compatibility: These trainers are standard road running shoes suitable for pavement, track, and well-maintained light trails.
  • Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
  • Drying: Air dry only, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
