The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is a high-performance, ultra-lightweight trainer designed for runners who prioritize speed and energy return during tempo runs and daily training. Utilizing an advanced PEBA and EVA midsole blend, these shoes offer a propulsive ride that feels both plush and responsive. While the shoe excels in performance, runners should note that the lightweight design prioritizes speed over heavy-duty stability, which may not suit those requiring high-level motion control.

They are ideal for speedwork and tempo runs; while some runners use them for longer distances, they are generally optimized for faster, shorter to medium-distance efforts.
The upper is constructed from breathable nylon-based FantomFit mesh, while the midsole uses a specialized blend of PEBA and EVA.
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer. If you have severe overpronation, you may want to check if your orthotics fit comfortably in the shoe.
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to easily replace them with your own custom orthotics if preferred.
While comfortable right out of the box, most runners find that the foam and upper materials settle into their final shape after about 15-20 miles of running.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern using the top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' for a more secure fit.
Remove the insole, ensure the interior floor of the shoe is clean, and re-insert it firmly or consider using a thin adhesive strip if movement persists.
Foam compression is a natural part of wear and tear; if you no longer feel the bounce, it is likely time to replace the shoe for better impact protection.
To ensure your FuelCell Rebel v5 lasts, follow these basic care guidelines. The shoes feature a removable insole, which can be taken out to dry if it becomes damp from sweat or rain. Avoid placing the shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as heat can degrade the foam and glue. Instead, clean the nylon upper with a soft brush and mild soap, then let them air dry away from direct sunlight. To maintain proper foot health, ensure you are wearing the correct size for your gait and replace your trainers every 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and body weight.
