Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, proper care is essential.
- Break-in Period: While the mesh upper is flexible, take them for a few short 3-5 mile runs before pushing them on a race day to allow the foam to settle to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Never put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the integrity of the PEBA foam and the adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the sock liner and stuff the shoe with newspaper to absorb moisture, keeping it away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the foam from oxidizing or the colours from fading.
