FAQs
What kind of runs are the FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is ideal for a variety of runs, including daily training sessions, tempo runs, speed work, and race day events where you're chasing personal bests.
How does the FuelCell technology benefit my running?
FuelCell technology provides a highly responsive underfoot feel and enhanced energy return, giving you a speedy sensation and helping to propel you forward with greater efficiency.
Are these shoes lightweight?
Yes, the FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed to be very lightweight, weighing approximately 180g, which helps to reduce fatigue and maintain speed.
What is the purpose of the FANTOMFIT upper?
The FANTOMFIT upper offers ultralight bonded support and exceptional breathability, keeping your feet secure and comfortable without adding unnecessary weight.
How should I care for my New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes?
For specific care instructions, always refer to the product label. Generally, clean with a damp cloth, air dry away from direct heat, and store in a cool, dry place.

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 features a 6mm heel offset, providing a balanced and natural feel during your stride.
Can I use these shoes for longer distance races, like a half marathon?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the lace fastening to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring the gusseted tongue is properly positioned. Consider trying different lacing techniques if standard lacing doesn't work.
Lack of responsiveness or cushioning over time
Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've accumulated significant mileage, it may be time to replace your shoes. Also, ensure proper storage away from extreme temperatures to preserve material integrity.
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Check your sock choice; seamless, moisture-wicking running socks can prevent friction. Verify that the FANTOMFIT upper is not creasing uncomfortably and that your lacing isn't creating pressure points. Ensure your socks are pulled up fully and are not bunching.
