Product Information
Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is a high-performance trainer designed for runners who prioritize speed, responsiveness, and a lightweight feel for both daily mileage and spontaneous tempo efforts. Featuring advanced midsole technology and a modern geometric aesthetic, it is an excellent choice for athletes seeking a versatile ride; however, those requiring high-stability support may find the soft, energetic feel less structured than traditional stability trainers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a marathon?
Yes, they are comfortable enough for distance, though they are optimized for responsiveness rather than heavy stability or maximum cushioning.
Can I use these in the gym?
While designed for running, their low-profile build makes them suitable for light gym work, though they are not designed for heavy weightlifting.
How long will the foam last?
Like most high-performance trainers, the FuelCell foam typically provides peak responsiveness for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight and running surface.
Do they run true to size?
Yes, the Rebel v5 generally fits true to standard athletic sizing, though the race-inspired fit is meant to be snug.
Is the outsole durable enough for gravel paths?
The rubber outsole is durable enough for occasional light gravel or groomed paths, but it is primarily designed for road use.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique using the final eyelet to secure your ankle more firmly.
Upper mesh feels tight after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise; consider relacing the midfoot area with less tension before starting your run.
Dirt buildup in the geometric midsole
Use a soft toothbrush or compressed air to gently dislodge debris from the intricate midsole channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your FuelCell Rebel v5, start by loosening the laces fully before your first run to allow the mesh upper to adjust to your foot volume. Use the lacing eyelets to create a custom lock, ensuring the padded collar hugs your heel comfortably without excessive pressure.
To clean your trainers, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the foam and glue. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the outsole. For the mesh upper, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry your shoes in a cool, shaded area; keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as heat can shrink the materials and compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning.
