FAQs
What type of running is the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is best suited for uptempo training, speed work, daily runs, and race day efforts. Its lightweight and responsive design excels in faster-paced activities.
What is FuelCell technology?
FuelCell is New Balance's proprietary midsole technology, utilizing a peba blend foam. It's designed to deliver enhanced energy return and a propulsive feel, giving you a speedy and responsive ride.
How does the FANTOMFIT upper improve my run?
The FANTOMFIT upper provides ultralight bonded support and excellent breathability, ensuring your foot stays secure and comfortable without unnecessary bulk, even during intense efforts.
What is the weight of the FuelCell Rebel v5?
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 weighs 180g (for a women's UK 7.5), making it a very lightweight option for speed and performance.
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, while excelling in speed and uptempo efforts, the FuelCell Rebel v5 can adapt to long, steady runs thanks to its responsive cushioning. However, runners focused solely on ultra-long, slow recovery runs might prefer shoes with even greater maximal cushioning.
What is the heel offset (drop) of this shoe?
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 features a 6mm heel offset, providing a balanced and common drop for many runners.
How should I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes?
It's recommended to hand wash your shoes with mild soap and cool water, then air dry them. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat, as this can damage the shoe's materials and construction.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel too warm or sweaty during runs.
The FANTOMFIT upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking material. If the issue persists, consider trying the shoes in different weather conditions or ensuring your socks are not too thick.
The shoe feels loose, or my foot is sliding inside.
Ensure your laces are tied securely, and consider trying different lacing techniques (e.g., a runner's knot) to improve lockdown. The gusseted tongue is designed to prevent movement, but proper lacing is crucial for an optimal fit. Also, confirm you have the correct shoe size for your foot.
The cushioning no longer feels as responsive as it used to.
Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses and loses its responsiveness over time and mileage. This is normal wear and tear. If you've put significant miles on your shoes (typically 300-500 miles, but varies by runner and shoe), it might be time to consider a replacement pair to maintain optimal performance and protect against impact.

Care:
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes:

- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using artificial heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
