FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are suitable for those who prefer a lightweight, responsive shoe for long-distance training sessions.
Can I use these for walking or gym work?
While primarily designed for running, their responsiveness and comfort make them great for walking and agility-based gym workouts.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from lightweight, high-performance polyester mesh.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, or ensure the mesh upper is not bunched up under the tongue.
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking and check that the internal sockliner is positioned correctly without folds.
Midsole foam feels less bouncy over time
Give the foam 24-48 hours to 'recover' between runs, as compressed foam needs time to return to its original state.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your FuelCell Rebel v5 trainers, ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your specific foot shape. Because these are performance trainers, they are best paired with thin-to-medium thickness athletic socks to maintain the intended fit of the upper. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the foam and adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the foam components.
