FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for long-distance marathon training?
Yes, it is highly capable for distance training, though runners who prefer high-stability support may find it more suited for speed days.
Can these be used for gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, their lightweight and agile nature makes them suitable for moderate gym training and agility drills.
How should I clean the pink polyester mesh?
Use a soft brush and a mix of cold water and mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes or put them in the washing machine.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance Rebel v5 generally fits true to size for standard adult feet, but consider measuring your foot to match our size guide.
What is the primary benefit of FuelCell technology?
FuelCell foam is engineered to provide maximum rebound and responsiveness, giving you a 'snappy' sensation underfoot.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability during corners
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically through the midfoot eyelets to lock the heel in place.
Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dirt after each run to prevent grinding into the fabric.
Responsive foam feeling flatter after many miles
Rotate your trainers with another pair to allow the midsole foam to decompress fully between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since the upper is made of a technical polyester mesh, avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, which can degrade the adhesive and foam properties. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Ensure you select the correct UK size for your foot shape to maximize the effectiveness of the responsive midsole, as a proper fit is essential for preventing energy loss during high-speed training.
