Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers are designed for male runners seeking to achieve personal bests. Their key benefit lies in the responsive FuelCell foam midsole, providing a springy feel with every stride, enhanced by an engineered mesh upper with FantomFit for superior support. A potential caveat is that while built for speed, they may offer less cushioning for ultra-long distances compared to max-cushion shoes.

FAQs
Are the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for marathon running?
While the FuelCell foam provides excellent energy return, these shoes are primarily designed for faster paces and shorter to middle distances like 5k to half marathons. For full marathons, runners may prefer a shoe with more substantial cushioning.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel snug but not constricting, and the heel should not slip.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts?
These trainers are optimized for running. While they can be worn for some light gym activities, their specific design features (like the midsole foam and outsole tread) are best utilized for their intended purpose on the road or track.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing aggressively, as this can damage the mesh.
What is the main advantage of the FuelCell foam?
FuelCell foam is engineered to provide a combination of soft cushioning and high energy return, offering a propulsive and responsive feel with every stride.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the FuelCell Rebel v5 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listing for currently available options.
Troubleshooting
Unusual wear on the outsole
Check your running form and ensure you are not dragging your feet. Consistent and proper gait can help extend outsole life.
Feet feel fatigued quickly
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. If the issue persists, consider if your training requires a shoe with more cushioning for longer runs.
Upper feels too tight or restrictive
Verify you have selected the correct size. The FantomFit design is meant to be supportive, but if it feels uncomfortable, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
