FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for trail running?
No, this model is specifically engineered for road and track surfaces; the outsole grip is not designed for uneven, technical trail terrain.
How long should I expect these shoes to last?
Generally, performance trainers like the Rebel v5 retain their optimal foam responsiveness for approximately 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and biomechanics.
Does the shoe have a wide fit option?
The standard Rebel v5 is built with a racing-inspired fit. It is recommended to try the shoe on to verify if the standard width suits your foot shape.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight, performance polyester mesh designed for maximum breathability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'lock-down' lacing technique using the additional top eyelet to secure the heel.
Upper mesh collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge grit or dust from the mesh weave after runs to maintain breathability.
Pros and Cons

- High energy return from the advanced foam technology

- Versatile enough for both speed and distance training
Cons

- Mesh material offers less structural support than leather variants
- Minimalist design may not provide enough stability for overpronators
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5, it is recommended to allow the foam to decompress for at least 24 hours between long runs. Since the shoe utilizes a performance mesh upper, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized fabric fibers. To clean, gently wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight. When sizing, note that the performance-oriented fit is meant to be snug; if you prefer more room in the toe box, you may need to adjust your lacing or consider the specific width profile of your feet against the standard UK 6.5 sizing provided.
