By leveraging New Balance’s signature FuelCell foam, this shoe provides a highly responsive energy return with every step, making it an excellent choice for daily training or active lifestyles.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the FuelCell cushioning is designed to be comfortable over many miles, though performance preference is subjective.
Can I use these for heavy weightlifting?
While they are great for agility, they have a soft, responsive foam that may feel unstable during heavy compound lifts like squats.
How should I clean the Blue and Pink fabric?
Spot clean using a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth to avoid color bleeding or fabric abrasion.
Is the sizing true to fit?
New Balance trainers are generally consistent with standard sizing; however, individual foot shapes may vary.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, not water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after first use
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly; they should be snug enough to secure the foot without restricting circulation.
Foam feels less bouncy over time
This is often due to the midsole not having enough time to recover. Let the shoes rest for 24 hours between intensive workouts.
Accumulated dirt in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the mesh upper rather than using water, which can push debris deeper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, proper care is essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure a snug fit around the midfoot, leaving a thumb's width of space at the toes.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, which can damage the foam's cellular structure.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the sole and deteriorate the glue.
- Rotation: If you run daily, rotating your shoes with another pair allows the FuelCell foam to fully compress and recover, extending the lifespan of the cushioning.
