FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the FuelCell Rebel Trail is constructed primarily with polyester for breathability and is not designed to be waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While designed for trails, the responsive foam performs well on hard surfaces, though the tread pattern is optimized for dirt and loose terrain.
How do I ensure the right fit?
This model follows standard adult UK sizing. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable polyester, designed to balance breathability with trail-ready toughness.
How often should I replace these trail runners?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the terrain harshness and your running style.
Troubleshooting
Feeling debris inside the shoe
Ensure the tongue is centered and laces are tightened securely to close the gap between the foot and the collar.
Outsole losing traction in thick mud
Clean the tread patterns thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud, which can fill the grooves and reduce grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance FuelCell Rebel Trail shoes, follow these best practices:
- Break-in: Wear them for short walks or light runs initially to allow the polyester upper to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after every use with a soft-bristled brush. If heavily soiled, clean with mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Do not place them near direct heat sources like heaters or radiators, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage to the materials.
