FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean these shoes by hand with a soft cloth and mild soap to protect the longevity of the FuelCell foam and the upper materials.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit of the FuelCell Rebel series is athletic and snug; those with wider feet may find the fit accommodating due to the flexible nature of the polyester mesh.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from a durable polyester textile designed for breathability and flexibility.
Can these be used for sports like soccer or basketball?
These are general-purpose trainers. While they are great for running and everyday activity, they lack the specialized lateral support needed for court sports.
How should I store them to maintain their shape?
Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid piling heavy objects on top of them to preserve the integrity of the cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or mud on the polyester mesh
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently whisk the dirt away before using a damp cloth for fine cleaning.
Sensation of slippage inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are properly tensioned throughout the eyelets, not just at the top, to lock the heel into the counter for better stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of polyester, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structural adhesive and foam properties. Instead, perform spot cleaning using a soft brush, warm water, and a mild detergent to remove surface debris. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam cushioning. Regarding compatibility, these trainers are true to standard youth sizing; however, if your child typically wears thick athletic socks, you may want to ensure the fit remains snug without being constrictive across the midfoot.
