FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 good for marathon training?
Yes, it is highly versatile and capable of handling long runs, though some may prefer a more maximalist shoe for very long-distance racing.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Rebel v5 is a neutral trainer. It does not contain specialized medial posts for overpronation control.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmill and cardio work, the high-stack foam may be less stable for heavy lifting or lateral-heavy agility drills.
How long should the midsole foam last?
Generally, high-performance foam midsoles offer peak responsiveness for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Is the sizing true to standard?
New Balance typically offers a consistent fit; however, given the performance nature, ensure your thumb's width of space remains at the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel lift.
Try the runner's loop (also known as the lock-down lacing technique) to secure the heel more firmly in the collar.
Midsole foam feels stiff in very cold temperatures.
This is normal for PEBA-based foams; perform a short warm-up jog to allow the foam to reach its optimal temperature for peak elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your FuelCell Rebel v5, wear the shoes only on paved surfaces or tracks. After wet runs, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh upper. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the structural integrity of the foam and glue.
