Built with advanced PEBA and EVA foam technology, these sneakers provide a snappy, responsive ride for those who prioritize a fast feel underfoot.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are highly capable for marathon training, particularly for runners who prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe over a heavily cushioned max-stack option.
Does the FuelCell foam break down quickly?
The PEBA/EVA blend is durable for high-mileage use, though like all performance running shoes, you can expect the peak responsiveness to begin to diminish after 300-500 miles.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmill running, the FuelCell foam is quite soft and may not provide the necessary stability for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement-heavy exercises.
Is the Rebel v5 a stability shoe?
No, it is a neutral trainer designed for efficiency and speed rather than correcting overpronation.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too much pressure across the top of the foot
Try relacing the shoes using a 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the specific area of discomfort.
Insole sliding during runs
Ensure the insole is seated flat in the shoe. If it continues to slide, consider a light application of double-sided fabric tape.
Upper mesh looks dirty
Use a damp sponge with a tiny amount of mild soap and gently dab the surface. Avoid vigorous scrubbing to maintain the mesh integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5, ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as the race-inspired fit is designed to be form-fitting.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the specialized foam structure and adhesives.
- Clean the exterior mesh using a soft-bristled brush and mild detergent mixed with lukewarm water.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole.
- Remove the insole after particularly wet runs to allow the interior to dry thoroughly and prevent odors.
