FAQs
What is the main benefit of the FuelCell technology in these shoes?
The FuelCell technology provides a highly responsive and energetic ride, offering a propulsive feel that helps runners move faster and more efficiently.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, they can be suitable for marathon running, especially for experienced runners who prioritize lightness and a responsive feel. However, if you require maximum cushioning or support for very long distances, you might consider them for faster segments or tune-up races rather than your primary marathon shoe.
What is the weight of the FuelCell Rebel v5?
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 weighs approximately 177 grams (6.2 oz).
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 6 mm.
Can I use these shoes for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for running performance. For everyday wear, you might find shoes with more supportive or versatile cushioning more suitable.
How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using a washing machine. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
Are these shoes good for beginners?
They are best suited for runners who are comfortable with a faster, more responsive shoe and who have a neutral gait. Beginners might prefer a shoe with more inherent stability and softer cushioning initially.
What are the available color options?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 comes in various colorways, including Orange/Grey, Green/Purple, Pink/Grey, Grey/Black, Beige, and Pink. Specific availability may vary by retailer and region.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Clean the shoes to remove dirt and debris that may impede cushioning. Significant reduction in responsiveness may indicate the cushioning has reached the end of its lifespan.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for dry and damp conditions. Exercise caution on very wet or slick surfaces as traction may be reduced.
