FAQs

Who is the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?

It's ideal for female runners focused on speedwork, tempo runs, uptempo long runs, and race-day efforts. It's best for those who prefer a lightweight, responsive shoe and don't require maximum stability.

Is this shoe good for everyday training?

Yes, it can be used for everyday training, but it truly shines during faster sessions. For very slow or recovery runs, a shoe with more cushioning might be more comfortable.

How breathable is the upper?

The FantomFit Engineered Mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability, featuring targeted ventilation zones, especially in the toebox, to keep your feet cool.

Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?

Yes, the insole is removable and perforated, allowing you to easily insert your own custom orthotics for a personalized fit and support.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather running?

While they have rubber for grip, they are primarily designed for dry conditions. Exercise caution on wet surfaces, as performance might be reduced compared to drier runs.

What kind of cushioning does the FuelCell Rebel v5 offer?

It features FuelCell foam, a blend of PEBA and EVA, that provides high rebound and lightweight cushioning for a propulsive and energetic ride.

How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes?

Gently clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on first wear

Wear the shoes for short periods initially or use thicker socks to help break them in. The FantomFit mesh will adapt to your foot shape over time.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The rubber compound is optimized for dry conditions. Exercise caution on wet pavements, as with any running shoe.

Insole feels slippery

Ensure the insole is correctly seated. If slippage persists, consider a thin layer of athletic tape on the underside of the insole or a replacement insole.

Shoes feel too firm for long runs

The Rebel v5 is optimized for speed. For very long or recovery runs, consider a shoe with more plush cushioning. You can try inserting a softer aftermarket insole for slightly more comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 comes ready to wear. Ensure the lacing is adjusted to your preferred tightness for a secure fit, utilizing the padded tongue and heel collar for comfort. The removable insole can be swapped with custom orthotics if needed.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track workouts. They are compatible with most running socks and moisture-wicking apparel. The removable insole allows for compatibility with custom orthotics.

Care:
