The FuelCell midsole combines PEBA and EVA foams to deliver a blend of high cushioning and exceptional responsiveness, providing an energetic feel with every stride.
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the energetic cushioning and lightweight nature make it suitable for long, steady runs. However, runners prioritizing maximum plush cushioning for very long distances might explore other options.
What is the upper made of?

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?
While the modern style is appealing, these shoes are performance-oriented trainers. They can be worn casually, but their primary design is for running.
How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?
Spot clean using a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.

Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit
The streamlined upper may require a short break-in period. If the tightness persists, consider trying a half-size up or ensuring laces are not overtightened.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are not used for activities that could damage the midsole, such as intense court sports. Regular cleaning can help maintain performance.
Slipping during quick turns
The outsole is designed for forward motion. For activities requiring significant lateral movement, a shoe with a more robust outsole might be more suitable. Ensure laces are tied securely.
