Variable density walls offer targeted compression where needed
Advice for Road Runners: The New Balance Men's FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoes deliver a light, energetic, and yet protective underfoot feel. Making this a model a great choice for daily miles and up-tempo training sessions.
Underfoot Feel
FuelCell foam - a PEBA/EVA blend - offers a light and bouncy underfoot experience. The geometric design helps unlock more energy return.
The midsole has a higher stack and wider base than the previous model. This extra foam volume should translate into more comfort - particularly during slower-paced runs.
A redesigned outsole - with more rubber at the forefoot - improves durability.
Overall, the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoes should feel very agile and dynamic to run in.
Upper Fit
The FantomFit upper is ultra-lightweight. As it has very few seams, it should minimise the chances of any friction.
The key update to the Rebel v5 Running Shoes' upper is the heel counter. A more structured design delivers greater support and security than the previous version.
We suggest choosing half a size bigger than your normal running shoe size if you're between sizes.
Ideal Run Type
The New Balance Men's FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoes should feel best during steady-paced runs and tempo sessions. This is because the midsole offers lots of energy return.
If you enjoy a light and fast feel in general, this model should also work well for some of your slower-paced miles.

Sizing Advice
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
Quadrilateral forefoot flex points enable natural bending
