FAQs

Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 good for flat feet?

The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer. If you have severe flat feet requiring significant arch support, you may want to pair these with custom insoles.

Can I use these for marathon racing?

While these are trainers, their lightweight design makes them suitable for marathon distances if you prefer a less rigid, more natural-feeling ride than carbon-plated shoes.

How do I know if the fit is right?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No. Machine washing can damage the delicate mesh and the integrity of the foam midsole. Use a soft brush and water for cleaning.

What is the primary difference between the Rebel and Propel series?

The Rebel series is generally focused on a more lightweight, agile, and speed-oriented experience, while the Propel series is often built for more traditional everyday training durability.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort in the arch area

Try adjusting your lacing pattern or replacing the factory insole with a custom orthotic if needed.

Midsole feels less bouncy than before

This is likely a sign of material compression after high mileage. Check your total distance and consider rotating with a fresh pair.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally lightweight design for effortless speed
  • High energy return from the PEBA/EVA foam mix
  • Versatile enough for both long runs and speed workouts
  • Modern, eye-catching geometric aesthetic

Cons

  • Lacks extensive medial support for overpronation
  • Minimalist upper may feel thin to some runners
  • Not intended for heavy-duty off-road or trail use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, ensure you have the correct size; the Rebel v5 is designed for a performance-oriented fit. When lacing, use the eyelets to customize tension across the midfoot to prevent slippage.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe off surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use.
  2. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent midsole degradation.
  3. Do not put them in the washing machine or dryer, as this can compromise the adhesive and foam properties.
  4. Replace your shoes every 300 to 500 miles depending on your running gait and surface intensity.
