FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for marathon distances?
Yes, many runners find the responsiveness and comfort sufficient for long distances, though it is primarily designed for speed and daily training.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer. It does not contain specific medial posts for overpronation but provides a stable platform for most runners.
How do I determine if 10.5 UK is the right size?
Check against your current running shoe size. New Balance generally follows standard sizing, but remember that feet can swell during exercise, so a slightly looser fit is often preferred.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and cardio, the high-stack foam is not recommended for heavy lifting, as the cushioning is designed for energy return rather than ground stability.
How long will the midsole foam last?
Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and gait mechanics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle more firmly.
Midsole foam feels 'dead' or flat after a run
The foam requires time to recover; rotate with a different pair of shoes for 24-48 hours to allow the material to regain its elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, ensure a proper fit by checking for a thumb's width of space at the toe box. The shoe uses a standard lacing system; ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation across the top of the foot.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam.
- Rotation: Rotate with another pair of running shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs, extending the overall longevity of the midsole.
