FAQs

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

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is best for adult female runners looking for a versatile, responsive trainer suitable for tempo runs, interval training, 5k-10k races, and engaging everyday runs.

How does the FuelCell technology benefit my run?

FuelCell technology provides a propulsive and energetic feel, enhancing energy return and making your stride feel more dynamic and responsive.

Can I use these for marathon training?

While versatile, they might be best used for speed work within a marathon training plan. For maximum cushioning on very long runs, you might prefer a shoe with more plush cushioning.

How do I clean my trainers?

Wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

What is the main difference between the Rebel v5 and other New Balance trainers?

The Rebel v5 is specifically engineered for a responsive, propulsive feel, prioritizing a dynamic ride over maximum softness, making it ideal for faster-paced running.

Are these trainers suitable for wet weather?

The mesh upper is breathable but may not be waterproof. They are best suited for dry or slightly damp conditions. Avoid running through deep puddles.

What colours and sizes are available?

This guide focuses on the Black/White UK size 3 variant. Other colourways and sizes are available separately.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the specific fit of this model suits your foot shape.

Reduced responsiveness over time

The FuelCell foam is designed for long-lasting responsiveness, but performance may slightly decrease with very high mileage or heavy use. Regular cleaning can help maintain materials.

Slipping during runs

Check if the outsole is worn. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces. Tighten laces to secure the foot better within the shoe.
