FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for flat feet?
It is a neutral trainer. If you have severe overpronation, you may need to add a support-focused insole or use the shoe for shorter, faster workouts rather than long-distance recovery.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can compromise the foam integrity and the bonding agents. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, most users find the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 fits true to standard athletic sizing.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight, breathable polyester mesh.
Is this a dedicated marathon racing shoe?
While capable of racing, it is primarily designed as an everyday trainer that incorporates racing-inspired features for increased versatility.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel lift
Try using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Midsole foam feels stiff in cold temperatures
Store your shoes in a climate-controlled room; foam compounds can temporarily harden in extreme cold and will soften once the shoe reaches ambient temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the initial setup, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate your specific foot volume; the race-inspired fit is intended to be snug. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insole is removable, though the low-volume construction of the shoe may limit the thickness of the replacement. To clean, wipe down the polyester mesh with a soft brush and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the foam. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning components.
