Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for runners seeking a versatile daily trainer that balances energy return with a lightweight feel.

FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for flat feet?
While it is a neutral trainer, many runners with flat feet find the cushioning comfortable, though you may need to swap in custom orthotics if you require arch support.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, their lightweight and responsive design makes them excellent for both high-mileage training blocks and race day.
How long should the foam last?
Like most high-performance trainers, you can expect the FuelCell foam to provide optimal responsiveness for approximately 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and weight.
Does this shoe run true to size?
New Balance trainers generally run true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing your preferred running socks to confirm.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and the structural adhesive. Stick to hand cleaning with mild soap.
What surfaces is this shoe designed for?
It is optimized for road running and track work; it is not recommended for rugged trails or rocky terrain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically through the midfoot eyelets to improve lockdown.
Accumulation of dust or debris in the mesh
Use a dry soft-bristle brush to remove surface dirt, then gently wipe with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, secure the laces using the runner's loop if you require extra heel lockdown during faster sessions. Compatibility-wise, these trainers are neutral, making them ideal for runners with high arches or those who do not require significant overpronation support. For care, keep the shoes away from heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the foam. If the mesh gets dirty, gently clean it with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and materials.
