FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for daily road running?
While durable, the FuelCell Rebel Trail is optimized for trails. Daily road use will accelerate outsole wear.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
It provides neutral support with a focus on stability through its geometry rather than corrective posts.
Can I replace the original insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and compatible with most aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How should I clean the FuelCell foam?
Wipe the foam midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the cushioning.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these are standard trail trainers and are not marketed as waterproof or water-resistant.
What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell technology?
FuelCell provides a high-rebound experience, offering a snappy and energetic feel during transitions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling excessive friction or pressure on the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve tension on the specific area or ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Outsole losing traction due to heavy mud buildup
Clean the tread patterns thoroughly with a stiff brush to restore the designed grip profile.
Shoe feels damp and heavy after a run
Remove the insole, stuff the shoe with newspaper to draw out moisture, and allow it to dry in a ventilated, cool space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear these trainers with moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks designed for trail running to prevent friction. Compatibility is standard for adult male sizing; ensure you select the appropriate UK size for your foot volume. For care, remove mud and loose dirt after every run using a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash the exterior with mild soap and cold water if necessary, but never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine. Always air-dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam and adhesives.
