FAQs

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

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is versatile, performing well for daily training, tempo runs, interval sessions, and even shorter long runs. Its lightweight and responsive nature makes it great for runners looking for speed and energy return.

How does the FuelCell midsole technology work?

The midsole uses a blend of PEBA and EVA foams. This combination provides durable, lightweight cushioning while delivering a highly responsive and propulsive feel to help drive you forward with each stride.

Is this shoe suitable for beginners?

Yes, it can be suitable for beginners who are looking for a lighter, more responsive shoe to help with faster running. However, beginners who prefer maximum cushioning might find other models more suitable initially.

What makes the upper design special?

The upper features engineered mesh for lightweight support and breathability, combined with FantomFit technology for an ultra-light, bonded support system that secures the foot without adding bulk.

How do I clean my FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers?

Clean them using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing and always air dry them away from direct heat.

What is the weight of the FuelCell Rebel v5?

The trainers are incredibly lightweight, weighing approximately 223 grams (7.9 oz).

Does the shoe offer good grip?

The redesigned outsole includes more rubber at the forefoot to enhance traction and durability. While good for road running, caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner running socks or loosening the laces. If discomfort persists, consider if the FantomFit upper is suitable for your foot shape.

Reduced responsiveness or 'dead' feeling

Check the outsole for any debris or wear that might be affecting grip. Ensure the midsole has not been exposed to excessive heat or prolonged compression, which can degrade the foam's properties over time.

Slipping during runs, especially in wet conditions

The redesigned outsole offers improved traction, but always exercise caution on wet surfaces. Ensure the shoe is properly laced for a secure fit. For extremely wet conditions, consider shoes with more aggressive tread patterns.

Upper mesh appears to be snagged or damaged

Avoid contact with sharp objects. If minor snags occur, try to gently smooth them. For significant damage, the shoe may need replacement to maintain structural integrity and prevent further wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly responsive and propulsive FuelCell midsole for energetic runs.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue and enhances speed.
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Improved comfort features in the heel and tongue.
  • Modern, eye-catching design with bold midsole geometry.
  • Durable with increased rubber in key outsole areas.

Cons

  • May feel less cushioned for runners preferring a maximalist feel.
  • The vibrant pink color may not suit all preferences.
  • FantomFit support might feel restrictive for very wide feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard running socks and moisture-wicking apparel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a cloth or soft brush. Do not machine wash.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
