FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
They are highly capable for mid-distance efforts and tempo runs. Whether they are suitable for a full marathon depends on your preference for a lighter, faster feel versus a maximum-cushion ride.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is crafted from a high-quality, race-inspired mesh designed for breathability and a lightweight fit.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are primarily designed for running, their stable, responsive nature makes them suitable for light gym use, though they are optimized for forward motion.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may discolor the blue fabric.
Are these neutral or stability shoes?
These are neutral trainers, designed to provide a natural, fluid transition without aggressive mechanical support structures.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of heel slippage
Try using a runner's loop or 'lock-down' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more effectively.
Midsole feeling less responsive over time
Ensure you are giving the foam at least 24 hours of rest between long runs to allow the material to recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5, start by ensuring you have the correct UK size for your specific foot shape. As these are performance trainers, they are designed to fit snugly to minimize movement inside the shoe. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the foam integrity and adhesive. If the shoes become dirty, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the mesh to warp or the foam to lose its reactive properties.
