FAQs
Is the FuelCell Rebel v5 good for long-distance running?
Yes, its lightweight design and responsive foam make it a great choice for long runs where keeping weight down is a priority.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily a running shoe, their lightweight and stable construction can work well for agility drills and light gym sessions, though they lack the side-to-side stability of dedicated cross-trainers.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight, breathable polyester mesh.
How should I clean the blue mesh fabric?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid submersion in water or harsh chemical cleaners.
Does this shoe provide extra arch support?
This is a neutral trainer. It does not contain specific hardware for overpronation control, so it is best suited for runners with a neutral gait.
What is the benefit of the FuelCell foam?
FuelCell foam is engineered to provide a high-rebound experience, giving you an energetic feel during takeoff.
Troubleshooting
Visible debris in the mesh upper
Gently brush the mesh with a soft-bristled brush or use compressed air to clear particles from the fabric pores.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after many miles
Foam compression is a natural result of high-mileage use; ensure the shoes have at least 24 hours of rest between runs to allow the material to decompress.
Slipping inside the shoe during runs
Try different lacing techniques, such as a 'runner's loop,' to lock the heel more securely into the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are designed for performance, ensure you select your correct size to maintain proper lockdown without restricting blood flow. To care for your FuelCell Rebel v5, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the foam composition. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the polyester mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or discolour.
