FAQs

What type of terrain are these trainers best for?

These trainers are best suited for moderate trails, including packed dirt, gravel, and light technical sections. They offer a good balance of traction and ground feel.

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

They are designed for a dynamic, ground-connected feel, making them excellent for shorter to mid-distance trail runs. For ultra-marathons or runners who prefer maximum cushioning, other models might be more appropriate.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with cool water to gently remove mud. Avoid high-pressure water or harsh cleaning agents.

What does 'FuelCell' technology mean?

FuelCell is New Balance's performance foam technology designed to provide a responsive and energetic feel underfoot, aiding in propulsion.

Can these trainers be worn for road running?

While possible, they are specifically designed for trail use with features like enhanced traction and durability. Their performance may not be optimal on pavement compared to road-specific shoes.

What is the primary benefit of the 'close-to-the-ground' feel?

This design enhances agility and allows runners to better feel and react to the terrain, which can be advantageous on uneven surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness or discomfort

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short runs or walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Trail-specific outsoles may have reduced grip on very wet or muddy surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for optimal performance.

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure you have tried them on with your usual running socks. If persistent, consider trying a different size, as fit can vary between individuals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The FuelCell Rebel Trail trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for men's adult foot sizes. They are compatible with standard running socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and debris after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
