FAQs
Is the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 true to size?
Most runners find them to fit true to size, but since they are performance-oriented, some may prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet or prefer extra room for swelling on long runs.
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, many runners use these for marathon distances, especially if they prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe over a heavy, max-cushion alternative.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and cardio, the high-rebound foam is quite soft, so they may be less stable for heavy lifting or lateral-heavy HIIT exercises.
How long will the foam last?
Typical mileage for performance road shoes ranges from 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait style.
Is this a neutral or stability shoe?
The FuelCell Rebel v5 is classified as a neutral running shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose during fast runs
Try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to improve ankle lockdown.
Foam feels firmer in cold temperatures
This is normal for foam compounds; the shoes will soften after a few minutes of running as they warm up.
Accumulated dirt on the knit upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5, start by verifying the fit; as a performance trainer, it should be snug but never restrictive. If you are switching from a significantly heavier or firmer shoe, gradually introduce these into your rotation to allow your foot muscles to adapt to the responsive cushioning. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can degrade the foam chemistry. Instead, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the interior becomes damp after a rainy run, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the structural integrity of the midsole.
