Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult runners who value a fast, responsive, and lightweight ride during their daily training sessions. By combining a race-inspired mesh upper with advanced foam technology, it offers an energetic experience for both long, steady miles and high-intensity speed work, though runners preferring heavy stability support may find the ultra-lightweight design too minimal for their specific needs.

FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for daily training?
Yes, it is designed as an everyday trainer that performs well for both high-intensity speed work and long, steady mileage.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is crafted from a race-inspired, breathable polyester mesh.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road running. We do not recommend them for technical trails as the mesh upper is not designed for abrasive debris.
How do I maintain the FuelCell foam?
Clean only with a damp cloth and air dry away from heat sources to prevent the foam from breaking down prematurely.
Does this shoe provide heavy stability features?
No, this is a neutral trainer designed for a natural, fast ride, rather than a corrective stability shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during long runs
Feet often swell during exercise; try a thinner sock or utilize a different lacing technique to increase volume in the forefoot.
Mesh upper is attracting dirt
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the mesh weave.
Sensation of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the heel lock lacing method is used to secure the ankle collar against your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, it is important to properly lace them for a secure lockdown before starting your run. Because the upper is constructed from delicate, race-inspired mesh, avoid wearing these trainers in muddy or excessively rugged terrain where sharp debris could tear the fabric. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush after your run and wipe the midsole with a damp cloth. Never machine wash or machine dry these shoes, as the heat and agitation can compromise the bonding of the foam and the structure of the upper mesh. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
