FAQs
What type of running is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best for?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is ideal for everyday running, tempo runs, interval training, and spontaneous speedwork due to its lightweight and responsive nature.
How does the FuelCell midsole technology work?
The FuelCell midsole combines PEBA and EVA foams to deliver a blend of responsiveness and cushioning, providing an energetic and propulsive underfoot feel.
What is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a streamlined, race-inspired mesh designed for breathability and a fast feel.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While designed for a standard fit, the flexible mesh upper can accommodate some foot shapes. For specific wide-fit needs, it's recommended to check for available width options or consult New Balance sizing guides.
How should I clean the suede material on the trainers?
Gently brush the suede with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the shoes.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While versatile, they are primarily designed for faster-paced runs and shorter to medium distances. For ultra-marathons or very long, slow runs, a shoe with more substantial cushioning might be preferred.
What other colours or sizes are available?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 comes in various colours and sizes. Please refer to the product catalog or website for a full listing of available options.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction within the shoe. Ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated. A light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe might help reduce friction.
Laces coming undone frequently
Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the laces are not excessively worn or slippery. Consider replacing them with a different type of lace if the issue persists.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase the time. Ensure the sizing is correct; if discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the fit is appropriate for your foot.
