FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are designed for versatility and can handle long runs, though some runners prefer more maximal cushioning for race-day marathons.
How do I determine if the 6.5 size is right for me?
Measure your foot while wearing running socks and ensure there is roughly a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While optimized for running, their stable, responsive feel makes them suitable for light gym training, though they are not designed for heavy weightlifting.
Is the FuelCell foam durable?
FuelCell is designed for high energy return; like all performance foams, its lifespan will depend on your running surface, body weight, and weekly mileage.
How should I store these trainers to prolong their life?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and avoid leaving them in a hot car, as extreme heat can compress the foam prematurely.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch after long runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, allowing for natural foot expansion during your run.
Accumulation of dust in the mesh upper
Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently dislodge debris from the mesh pores to restore breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your FuelCell Rebel v5, ensure you are wearing the correct size for your gait cycle, as the performance mesh is designed to wrap snugly around the midfoot. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized foam structure and mesh integrity. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris, and use a damp cloth with mild soap for any stains on the upper. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the elasticity and cushioning properties of the midsole.
