Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for runners and fitness enthusiasts who prioritize speed and responsiveness in their daily training sessions. Featuring an advanced PEBA and EVA foam midsole, these trainers provide a bouncy, energetic ride that excels during varied workouts, ranging from steady-state distance runs to high-intensity interval training. While the shoe offers excellent performance, its race-inspired, lightweight build may offer less structural support than heavy-duty stability trainers, making it best suited for runners who prefer a more natural, flexible feel.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for daily training, but many runners find its responsiveness suitable for longer race distances depending on individual preference for cushioning.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, they are excellent for treadmill sessions and general gym activities due to their lightweight and stable-enough build for moderate weightlifting.
How should I clean the mesh material?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a tiny bit of mild detergent, gently dabbing the stained area.
Is this shoe for neutral or stability runners?
This is a neutral shoe and does not feature additional support for overpronation.
Does the sizing run true?
New Balance typically runs true to size, though the streamlined upper may feel more snug than wider-fitting models.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a high-quality, lightweight polyester mesh for breathability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of insufficient arch support
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer; consider using a personal orthotic insert if you require additional arch correction.
Mesh upper attracting dust or staining
Use a soft-bristled brush to regularly remove dust and spot clean with water, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents.
Midsole feeling less 'bouncy' over time
This is normal as foam compresses over many miles; rotate with another pair of shoes to extend the life of the midsole cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers last as long as possible, it is important to treat them as dedicated athletic footwear. For a proper fit, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
Care Instructions:
- If your shoes become muddy, allow the dirt to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush.
- Wipe down the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge in water or use harsh chemicals.
- Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the foam midsole.
- Rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the foam to decompress fully between workouts.
