Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel trainers are designed for active kids who need a versatile shoe that bridges the gap between everyday play and athletic performance. By utilizing signature FuelCell foam technology, these trainers provide a responsive, energetic feel that keeps feet comfortable during long hours of movement. While they offer excellent cushioning and a lightweight build, parents should note that the polyester upper is optimized for breathability rather than heavy-duty water resistance or rugged outdoor trail protection.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to avoid machine washing as the heat and agitation can damage the foam and structural adhesives. Hand cleaning is preferred.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The polyester upper offers some flexibility, but these are built on a standard athletic last. If your child requires extra width, ensure you have measured their foot using the official New Balance size chart.
Can these be used for soccer or football?
No, these are trainers intended for running, walking, and casual play. They lack the cleats required for grass or turf sports.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The FuelCell technology offers cushioning that adapts to the foot, but they are not categorized as orthopedic shoes with specific arch correction.
How often should the shoes be replaced?
Replace them when the foam loses its rebound quality or if the tread pattern on the outsole has worn smooth, which typically occurs after several hundred miles of active use.
What is the best way to keep them smelling fresh?
Use a specialized sneaker deodorizer spray and ensure the shoes have at least 24 hours to air out between intense uses.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are losing their grip on smooth floors
Check the outsole for trapped dirt or debris in the grooves and wipe the rubber clean with a damp cloth.
Fabric upper shows signs of staining
Spot clean the polyester area with a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush, then blot dry with a clean towel.
Insole slipping or moving inside the shoe
Remove the insole, ensure the interior floor of the shoe is clean, and re-insert ensuring it sits flat against the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers come with standard lacing, ensure a snug but comfortable fit that allows for small toe movements. To maintain the life of your New Balance FuelCell Rebel trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry brush or a damp cloth. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry only. Avoid placing the shoes near heaters or direct high-heat sources, as this can degrade the foam integrity and polyester fibers.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew or odors from forming in the fabric.
- Insoles: If the shoes get damp inside, remove the liners to let them dry independently for better hygiene.
