FAQs

What type of running is the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 best suited for?

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is specifically designed for speedwork, tempo runs, uptempo long runs, and race-day efforts where a responsive and lightweight feel is desired.

What is FuelCell technology?

FuelCell is New Balance's highest rebounding foam, made from a blend of PEBA and EVA. It's engineered to deliver maximum energy return and lightweight cushioning, providing a propulsive and fast ride.

Is this shoe suitable for everyday training?

Yes, it is built for both everyday training and speedy sessions, particularly if your everyday training includes uptempo long runs or faster-paced workouts. For very slow, easy runs, you might prefer a shoe with more traditional cushioning.

Does the shoe provide good grip?

Yes, the shoe features a durable rubber compound outsole with strategic placements, especially at the forefoot, to provide reliable grip and balance weight with longevity on various running surfaces.

Are there any reflective elements for night running?

Yes, the FuelCell Rebel v5 includes reflective details for added visibility and safety when running in low-light conditions.

Is the insole removable?

Yes, the insole is removable and perforated for added ventilation. This also allows for easy replacement if you prefer to use custom orthotics or different insoles.

How should I clean my New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes?

Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth for cleaning. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable during runs.

Adjust your lacing technique. Try lacing methods that relieve pressure points, such as skipping an eyelet. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks, as thick socks can impact fit. Consider your usual shoe size, as running shoes often require a half-size up.

Foot slipping inside the shoe.

Ensure your laces are tied securely and evenly. Utilize the extra eyelets at the top of the shoe for a 'heel-lock' lacing technique, which can help secure the heel and prevent slipping. Check that your socks are not too slippery.

Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.

The FantomFit Engineered Mesh is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks, as cotton socks can trap heat and moisture. Allow shoes to fully air out between runs.

Outsole shows premature wear.

While the rubber compound is durable, excessive wear can occur depending on running form and surface. Ensure proper footstrike. Regular cleaning of the outsole can also prevent debris from causing accelerated wear. If wear is isolated, it might indicate a need for form analysis.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional energy return and responsive feel from FuelCell foam.
Ultra-lightweight design promotes speed and agility.
Highly breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
Versatile for various speed-focused activities: tempo runs, intervals, races.
Durable rubber outsole provides good grip and extends shoe lifespan.
Comfortable and secure fit with padded tongue and collar.

Cons

Primary focus on speed and responsiveness may offer less plush cushioning for very long, slow recovery runs.
Minimalist approach to stability means it may not be ideal for runners requiring significant pronation control.
The lightweight construction, while beneficial for speed, might not offer the same level of traditional support as heavier training shoes.

Setup

The FuelCell Rebel v5 features a traditional lace-up closure system. To ensure a comfortable and secure fit, follow these steps:

Loosen the laces fully before putting on the shoe.
Slide your foot in, ensuring your heel is seated at the back of the shoe.
Begin tightening the laces from the bottom (near the toes) upwards, applying even pressure.
Tie the laces in a secure knot, ensuring they are snug but not too tight to restrict blood flow or cause discomfort.

Compatibility

This shoe is ideal for neutral runners seeking a responsive and lightweight option for various types of speed-focused running. It's compatible with different running surfaces, including roads, tracks, and well-maintained paths, thanks to its durable rubber outsole. It pairs well with performance running socks for optimal breathability and blister prevention.

Care

To maintain the longevity and performance of your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 shoes:

Cleaning: Refer to the product label for specific cleaning instructions. Generally, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the mesh upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
