FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 suitable for flat feet?
It is a neutral trainer. If you have significant pronation issues, you may want to consult a podiatrist to see if an aftermarket orthotic is compatible.
Can I use these for marathon running?
Yes, many runners use them for longer distances due to their lightweight comfort, provided you enjoy a more responsive, less mushy ride.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and foam properties. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Does the mesh material stretch over time?
The polyester mesh is durable but designed to maintain its shape. It will conform slightly to your foot but should not stretch out of shape.
What kind of surfaces are these best for?
They are designed primarily for road and track running, providing excellent grip on paved surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure your lacing is not too tight; allow for slight foot swelling that occurs naturally during runs.
Midsole foam feels less responsive over time
Rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the foam compression cells time to decompress after heavy use.
Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris
Use a dry, soft brush to gently lift dirt from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, begin by ensuring you have the correct size for your gait cycle; the FuelCell Rebel v5 is designed for a precise fit. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature foam degradation. To clean, avoid submerging them in a washing machine. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush and wipe the polyester mesh upper with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole foam.
