New Balance Men's FuelCell Rebel v5 Running Shoes

About This Item

    What Our Experts Are Saying:

    ""The Rebel v5 is like your favorite running buddy (you know what I mean)—light on its feet, soft when you need it, and always ready for a smooth run. New Balance added more cushion this time and kept it light (under 8oz) , making it great for easy miles without losing that nimble feel. It’s got a breathable, secure upper with a fit that hugs without squeezing, and it feels wider in the toe box allowing my toes to breath, it nails daily training and tempo runs. Style-wise? It looks fast even standing still—especially with the slick new colorways (Angora is my favorite colorway) , and with cooler weather rolling in, now’s the perfect time to look cool and stay comfortable on your runs."" - Peter, Running Expert at DICK'S Sporting Goods Jacksonville, Florida

Such a lightweight and responsive shoe! The cushioning in this shoe is unmatched. This is my third pair because all the available color ways are so awesome!

A Great Variation To The 1080’s

Comfortable fit, accurate sizing and great cushioning. As a bigger guy with wider feet, New Balance 1080’s have been a staple for over a decade but I thought I’d give the FuelCells a try and I am not disappointed. They are light, comfortable and very well made. Couldn’t be happier.

Great Price!

Great for intense training especially during running.

Possibly The Best Shoes I’ve Ever Put On My Feet

This is the softest shoe I’ve ran in. I’m a high school athlete and in turn, I’ve trained in many different shoes. It’s between this and the vomero premium, but I think I’m picking this shoe. It’s great for easy runs, long runs, they perform great during workout sessions, and they effortlessly got me through Steens Mountain Running Camp. This is a 10/10 shoe and I will most certainly be getting another pair once my current trainers die out.

Fantastic Build

Great running shoe. I immediately felt the upgrade in support. The shoe didn’t take long to break in and I have run in them for about four weeks, 10 miles a week. So far, so good. If they hold up for 400 miles I will buy another pair.

V5 Review

Comfortable stable shoe, not for anything really fast but doesn’t bottom out over longer distances.

Fuelcell Rebel V5 Review

The shoes themselves are very comfortable, feel great on foot and I love running in them. I've noticed that I've had some pretty bad blisters at the toe area which is quite uncomfortable for my long runs. I'm not sure if it's a matter of breaking the shoes in at this point as I have a good amount of mileage in. Otherwise great shoes

Very Cheap Material And They Make Your Feet Stink

Very cheap material and the material they use make stink really bad I’ve never had a problem of smelly feet but the insoles smelled really bad after just the first day of wearing them. Also the after just the first day the foam looks like they are a year old not a good shoe for the price

Soles Are Too Thin And Slide...

Had to glue/tape them to get them to stay in place and they still move around unfortunately.

Falling Apart After 100 Miles

This is the 5th pair of rebel v5 I’ve bought. They normally are great but the sole started tearing off two weeks after running in them. I’m incredibly disappointed.

Rebel V5 Is The Tops!

FuelCell Rebel V5 is my current favorite shoe. I have large feet, and the 14 Wide fits perfectly, right out of the box! I also appreciate the availability of the bright Pink colorway for my walks. It really stands out from the crowd. Keep up the good work New Balance!

Light And Supportive

Love the feel and functionality of these. The first day I wore them my feet felt comfortable and that’s when I knew this shoe was going to be a good everyday run shoe. Light and supportive they also look cool.
