FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell midsole technology?
The FuelCell midsole technology is a blend of PEBA and EVA foam designed to provide exceptional responsiveness and energetic feedback with every stride.
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
While versatile, the FuelCell Rebel v5 is optimized for speed and responsiveness. For very long endurance events, runners might prefer shoes with maximum cushioning, though these can be used for faster marathon efforts.
How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?
It is best to clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely.
What type of foot strike is this shoe best for?
The shoe is designed to be versatile and work well with various foot strikes, encouraging a natural and responsive stride.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, their modern design and comfortable fit make them suitable for casual wear, though their primary design purpose is for running.
What is the upper material made of?
The upper is constructed from a run-inspired mesh, designed for breathability and a lightweight feel.
How does the sizing run compared to other New Balance models?
Sizing is generally consistent with other New Balance running shoes, but it's always recommended to consult the specific size chart or try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If still tight, consider trying a half-size larger.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might impede the midsole. The foam may naturally break in and feel less 'bouncy' after significant mileage.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's construction. Try wearing thicker socks or ensuring the insoles are properly seated.
