Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is an ideal choice for active individuals seeking a high-performance, lightweight trainer that bridges the gap between everyday training and faster, speed-focused efforts. Engineered with a responsive dual-foam midsole and a sleek, geometric-patterned mesh upper, these shoes offer an energetic ride; however, runners preferring high-stability or rigid motion-control footwear may find the lightweight, speed-oriented design less supportive during long-distance recovery runs.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 generally fits true to the standard UK size guide provided.
Can I use these for marathon training?
They are suitable for marathon training for runners who prefer a lightweight, responsive feel, though they offer less cushioning than traditional maximum-cushion marathon shoes.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand-clean them to preserve the integrity of the foam and adhesives.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight, breathable performance mesh, largely made of polyester.
Is the Rebel v5 good for flat feet?
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer. Individuals with flat feet may find it comfortable for short to medium distances, but should assess if they require extra arch stability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of insufficient arch support
Consider swapping the factory insole for an aftermarket orthotic insole if your foot shape requires specific arch reinforcement.
Outer mesh appears dusty or stained
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the mesh weave.
Laces coming undone during runs
Use a double-knot or a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to increase security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential.
Setup and Fit
Ensure you lace the shoes snugly across the midfoot to take advantage of the structured mesh upper, which helps lock the foot in place during lateral movements.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the foam composition.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading and structural deformation.
