FAQs
Are these shoes good for long-distance marathons?
While highly capable for varying distances, they are categorized as an everyday trainer and work best for daily miles, speed work, and tempo runs.
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 a stability shoe?
No, this is a neutral trainer designed for responsiveness rather than overpronation control.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, their lightweight and responsive nature makes them excellent for dynamic gym sessions and cardio-based training.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently wipe the material; allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Does this shoe come in wide widths?
The standard fit of the FuelCell Rebel v5 is generally accommodating, but please check specific retailer inventory for wide-width availability.
What is the primary benefit of FuelCell foam?
FuelCell foam is engineered to provide a high-rebound experience, pushing back against your foot to aid in a faster, more propulsive stride.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on sharp turns
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer. Ensure your laces are tightened securely to improve midfoot lockdown or focus on landing more centrally on your foot strike.
Upper mesh collecting debris
Remove the insole and tap the shoe upside down to dislodge dirt; use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the exterior mesh after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, secure the laces to match your preferred level of lockdown, ensuring the gusseted tongue provides a secure fit across the midfoot. These trainers are standard fit for adult women's sizing; ensure you wear the type of athletic socks you plan to run in during your initial fitting. To keep the FuelCell Rebel v5 in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the mesh upper with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the foam midsole and the adhesive bonds of the upper materials.
