FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
While highly versatile and lightweight, they are primarily designed as daily trainers. However, many runners find them capable of handling long-distance race efforts comfortably.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
These trainers are optimized for forward motion (running). They may not provide the lateral support required for heavy weightlifting or multi-directional court sports.
Do I need to size up from my normal street shoe size?
New Balance trainers generally run true to size. If you prefer extra room for foot swelling during long runs, consider a half-size larger.
How long will the midsole foam last?
The lifespan depends on your running surface and weight, but generally, expect high performance for 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning properties begin to diminish.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Machine washing can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the performance foams. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or loose fit during runs
Try utilizing the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing pattern to secure the ankle.
Foam feeling compressed or flat
Rotate your shoes. Foam needs time to recover its structure after high-impact use; allowing 24 hours between runs helps the material rebound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Rebel v5 is designed as a performance trainer, ensuring a proper fit is essential. The mesh upper is designed to wrap the foot securely, so choose your standard running shoe size. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can break down the specialized foam compounds. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with paper towels to draw out moisture while retaining their shape.
