Full details
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for runners and everyday users who prioritize lightweight performance and a responsive ride. Featuring a race-inspired aesthetic and advanced foam technology, these trainers excel during steady-state runs and spontaneous bouts of speed; however, users seeking high-level stability support may find the focused, lightweight build less rigid than traditional motion-control shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are excellent for daily training miles, though some runners prefer more structured shoes for the longest of long runs.
What is the primary material used in the midsole?
The midsole uses a high-performance combination of PEBA and EVA foams for responsive cushioning.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are designed primarily for running; they offer good agility for lateral movements, but are not built for heavy weightlifting.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Refer to the New Balance standard size chart and ensure you account for the slight swelling that occurs in your feet during exercise.
Is the upper waterproof?
No, the race-inspired mesh is designed for breathability, not water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of insufficient arch support
Consider swapping the factory insole for an aftermarket orthotic insole if you have high arches.
Midsole foam feels slightly 'dead' after long runs
Foam often requires 24 hours of rest to fully decompress and return to its original state.
Upper mesh accumulating dust or dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the mesh gaps after outdoor sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumbs-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Lacing: Use the "runner’s loop" if you experience heel slippage during faster runs.
- Cleaning: Clean the surface of your shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as heat can degrade the foam composition.
- Rotation: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally in a cool place if they become damp. Rotating between two pairs of shoes can help the midsole foam recover its shape between workouts.
