What is the typical lifespan of these running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes generally ranges from 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Pay attention to signs of decreased cushioning or support to know when it's time for a new pair.
Does the FuelCell Rebel v5 come in wide sizes?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel less responsive over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If responsiveness decreases significantly, it might be time for a new pair. Ensuring proper cleaning and drying after each use can help maintain material integrity.
Experiencing discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Check your lacing technique. Experiment with different lacing patterns to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks, and verify the shoe size is correct for your foot (considering natural foot swelling during runs).
Upper mesh gets dirty quickly.
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap immediately after your run. Allow to air dry. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used with care, avoiding harsh scrubbing that could damage the material.

- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
