Product Information

Full details

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 Trainers are ultra-lightweight running shoes designed for adult female runners seeking speed and versatility without compromising comfort. The key benefit is their propulsive FuelCell midsole, offering a high-rebound, responsive ride for tempo runs, speedwork, and everyday training. A potential caveat is their neutral support, making them best suited for runners with a neutral pronation. This shoe features a streamlined mesh upper, a responsive PEBA/EVA foam blend, and a redesigned outsole for enhanced grip and durability.

FAQs

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

The FuelCell Rebel v5 is ideal for adult female runners with a neutral pronation who focus on speedwork, tempo runs, uptempo long runs, and race-day efforts. It's also versatile enough for everyday training runs.

How does the FuelCell foam differ from previous versions?

The FuelCell Rebel v5 features even more foam underfoot compared to its predecessor, utilizing a PEBA and EVA blend that delivers a faster, more propulsive feel with lightweight cushioning.

Is this shoe good for marathon racing?

Yes, its lightweight design and responsive FuelCell midsole make it suitable for marathon racing, especially for runners who prioritize speed and a propulsive ride.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the FuelCell Rebel v5?

The FuelCell Rebel v5 has a heel-to-toe drop of 6mm, which is considered a moderate drop, contributing to its responsive feel.

How much does the shoe weigh?

The shoe weighs approximately 180 grams (6.3 oz) for a women's size, making it exceptionally lightweight.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced with your preferred orthotic or a new insole if desired. The original insole is perforated for added ventilation.

Are there reflective elements on the shoe?

Yes, the FuelCell Rebel v5 includes reflective detailing to enhance visibility during low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are adjusted properly. Try different lacing techniques. If the issue persists after a break-in period, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The FuelCell foam may naturally break down after significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on usage and running surface.

Slipping during runs

Check the outsole for excessive wear. Ensure the shoes are tied securely. The redesigned outsole offers improved grip, but performance can vary on wet or highly polished surfaces.

Breathability seems low

Ensure the mesh is clean and free of debris. The FantomFit mesh is designed for breathability, but heavy sweat or accumulated dirt can sometimes impede airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely lightweight for enhanced speed and reduced fatigue.
Highly responsive FuelCell midsole provides excellent energy return.
Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
Versatile design suitable for various training paces and distances.
Improved comfort features in the heel and tongue for a secure fit.

Cons

Neutral support may not be ideal for runners requiring pronation control.
The focus on speed might mean less plush cushioning for extremely long, slow runs.
Durability might be a concern for runners who log very high mileage or have aggressive foot strikes on rough terrain.
Specific colorways and sizes may have limited availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 arrives ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit. The removable insole can be replaced with a custom orthotic if needed, and its perforated design aids ventilation.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for neutral runners. They are compatible with most standard running socks. The outsole provides good traction on various surfaces, including road, track, and light trails.

Care:

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

Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh upper and midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash running shoes, as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand washing is preferred.
