The FuelCell Rebel v5 is best suited for tempo runs, speed work, interval training, and race day. It also performs well for daily training runs where you want a lightweight and responsive feel.
FuelCell is New Balance's highest performing cushioning compound. In the Rebel v5, it's a peba blend midsole designed to deliver a propulsive feel and enhanced energy return, making your runs feel faster and more efficient.
The FANTOMFIT upper provides ultralight bonded support and superior breathability. It's designed to secure your foot comfortably without adding unnecessary weight, enhancing ventilation and comfort.
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is exceptionally lightweight, weighing approximately 180g (6.3 oz) for a women's UK 6.
No, these shoes are designed for road running, track, and paved surfaces. While the durable rubber outsole offers good grip on these surfaces, it is not built for the uneven and technical demands of trail running.
The FuelCell Rebel v5 features a 6mm heel offset, with a stack height of 35mm in the heel and 29mm in the forefoot. This drop is designed to support a natural and efficient running stride.
We recommend wiping the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed). Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Adjust your lacing technique. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across your foot. A 'runner's knot' or loop lacing can help secure the heel and prevent slippage. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size.
The FANTOMFIT upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. If the issue persists, consider airing out shoes immediately after runs to promote airflow.
Outsole durability can vary with running gait and surface. Monitor your mileage; running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles. Uneven wear might indicate a need to consult a running specialist for gait analysis or consider shoe rotation to extend life.
Your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply use the lace fastening system to achieve a snug and comfortable fit for your foot. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what best suits your foot shape and running style, ensuring no pressure points.
These shoes are primarily designed for road running, track workouts, and paved paths. Their lightweight, responsive nature makes them ideal for speed work and racing on even surfaces. While they offer good traction, they are not intended for technical trail running.
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes and maintains their performance:
