FAQs

What type of running is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is best for everyday running, quick runs, and training routines. Its responsive nature also makes it suitable for speed work and tempo runs.

How does the FuelCell foam perform?

FuelCell foam delivers a propulsive, fast, and responsive underfoot feel, designed to help drive you forward with energy return.

Is this shoe good for marathon training?

While the shoe offers good cushioning, its primary focus is on speed and responsiveness. For ultra-long distances or runners needing maximum cushioning and support, other models might be more suitable. However, it can be effective for marathon training if you incorporate speed work or prefer a lighter shoe.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on this trainer?

The heel-to-toe drop on the FuelCell Rebel v5 is 6mm.

How much does the FuelCell Rebel v5 weigh?

The shoe weighs approximately 180 grams (6.3 oz).

What is the support type for this shoe?

The FuelCell Rebel v5 offers neutral support, making it ideal for runners with a neutral gait.

How is the breathability of the upper?

The engineered mesh and FantomFit upper are designed to provide lightweight support and excellent breathability, keeping your feet cool during your runs.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, focusing on even pressure. If still too tight, consider if a larger size is needed. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Clean any debris from the outsole and midsole. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Mileage and usage patterns can impact foam responsiveness.

Discomfort in the heel or tongue

Ensure the laces are tied correctly to secure the heel. The redesigned heel and tongue are meant for comfort, so any persistent discomfort might indicate an improper fit or a break-in period is needed.

Mesh upper feels restrictive

The FantomFit and engineered mesh are designed for support. If it feels too restrictive, check lacing. If the issue persists, the shoe's support structure might not align with your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. It is recommended to try them on indoors before use to confirm the correct size.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials. For stubborn stains, a mild soap with water can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean cloth.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shape and materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain the integrity of the foam and upper materials.
