FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 a stability shoe?
No, it is a neutral trainer designed for runners who do not require significant corrective support.
Can I use these for marathon distances?
Yes, many runners find the cushioning suitable for long-distance efforts, provided they prefer a lightweight, responsive feel.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the specialized foam and upper materials.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight across the midfoot, or consider using an alternative lacing pattern to relieve pressure.
Midsole foam feels stiff in cold temperatures
Allow the shoes to sit in a room-temperature environment for at least one hour before use to allow the foam to return to its optimal flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5, ensure you are wearing the correct size; the UK 9.5 model is designed for a standard adult fit. When caring for your shoes, avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive integrity. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked during a run, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture slowly, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators which can warp the materials.
