FAQs
What type of runner is the FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?
This trainer is ideal for adult runners who prioritize a lightweight, responsive, and energetic feel. It's well-suited for tempo runs, interval training, and daily training for those who enjoy a faster sensation.
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 good for long distances?
While designed for speed, the FuelCell midsole offers enough cushioning for many runners to comfortably handle long runs. However, runners seeking maximum plushness for ultra-marathons might prefer a shoe with more traditional high-stack cushioning.

The FuelCell midsole is a blend of PEBA and EVA, known for providing a high level of energy return and responsiveness. It aims to feel lively and propulsive underfoot.
Can I wear these for casual walking?
Yes, while optimized for running, the lightweight and stylish design makes them suitable for casual wear and walking.
How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?
Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a streamlined, race-inspired mesh, designed for breathability and a lightweight feel.
What colorways are available?
This specific guide refers to an Orange and Grey colourway. Other colourways may be available.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the lacing pattern needs adjustment for a wider fit.
Reduced responsiveness over time
This can be a sign of significant wear. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended mileage for the shoe and consider replacing them if performance has notably decreased.
Discomfort in the arch
The arch support may differ from previous shoes. Try adjusting the lacing or consider using aftermarket insoles if the current support is not suitable for your foot.
