FAQs

What type of runner is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best for?

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is best suited for neutral runners looking for a lightweight, uptempo shoe for daily miles, speed work, tempo runs, and even racing.

How does the FuelCell midsole perform?

The Peba blend FuelCell midsole offers excellent energy return and a responsive feel, providing a propulsive sensation during runs.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon distances?

While versatile, its lightweight and uptempo design may be preferred for shorter to mid-distance races. Runners seeking maximum plush cushioning for ultra-marathons might prefer other models.

How do I clean my New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5s?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing and allow to air dry completely away from heat sources.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 weighs approximately 225 grams.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The shoe has a heel offset of 6mm.

What is FANTOMFIT technology?

FANTOMFIT is an engineered stability method that combines lightweight support with a breathable mesh upper, designed to provide an ultralight feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, focusing on even pressure distribution across the top of the foot.

Reduced energy return over time

While FuelCell technology is durable, performance can be affected by excessive wear. Clean the shoes regularly and avoid exposing them to extreme heat. For significantly degraded performance, consider replacement.

Foot slippage inside the shoe

The gusseted tongue and FANTOMFIT upper are designed for a secure fit. If slippage occurs, check that the laces are tied correctly and snugly. Ensure you are using appropriate running socks.

Upper material feels stiff

The FANTOMFIT upper is designed to be lightweight and supportive. It may feel firm initially but should become more pliable with a few runs as it molds to your foot.
