FAQs

What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?

These trainers are designed for moderate to technical trail running, including dirt paths, gravel, mud, and rocky terrain. They offer good traction and support for varied off-road conditions.

How does the FuelCell cushioning feel?

The FuelCell cushioning provides a responsive and energetic feel, offering good energy return with each step. It aims for a dynamic ride that is both protective and propulsive.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the FuelCell Rebel Trail trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and ground feel, which typically means they will not offer significant water resistance.

Can I use these for road running?

While possible, these trainers are optimized for trails. The aggressive outsole might feel less efficient on hard pavement, and road running could wear down the trail-specific lugs faster.

What is the main benefit of the close-to-the-ground feel?

A close-to-the-ground feel allows for greater sensitivity to the terrain, enabling quicker adjustments and a more intuitive running form on uneven surfaces.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot to find the best fit. It's recommended to have a little extra room in the toe box for trail running.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider a shoe with a more aggressive wet-weather tread pattern if available.

Underfoot discomfort after a few miles.

The shoes may require a break-in period. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thicker performance socks. If discomfort persists, check for any internal debris or seam irritation.

Upper material shows premature wear.

Be mindful of trail conditions; very sharp rocks or abrasive surfaces can impact durability. Ensure proper cleaning and drying after each use to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. They are designed for trail running and are compatible with most types of outdoor trail terrain.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
