Ordered size 7 thinking they would suffice as generally a 6.5. Size 7 too small so returned for 7.5 and still too small. Also the second pair arrived and were dirty-I took photos.
Thank you for your feedback on the FuelCell Rebel v4 running shoes. We're sorry to hear that both pairs didn’t meet your expectations in terms of sizing and condition. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We kindly encourage you to reach out to our customer service team so we can take a closer look at your case and find a suitable solution.
My feet are more on the wider side so I always have trouble with shoes hurting or suffocating my toes way too much, as I saw that there existed a wider version opted for that one and must say that never have I found more perfect shoes. Besides that my footwear varies between 39 and 40 depending on the type of shoe, based on existing comments decided to go with the 40 and the stayed perfect. Totally recommend for people that struggle finding good quality and comfortable running shoes. Already did a couple km with them and for now all I have to say is that they were a pretty good investment.
Thank you for your review of FuelCell Rebel v4! It's great to hear you were able to find the perfect shoe in the size you needed! We are happy that NB can accompany you on your runs! :)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the lightest shoes I’ve ever worn for running! They are very responsive and provide a quick turnover. I use these for my tempo and speed session while marathon training and would even race in them. I am a size 10.5 in all new balance shoes and found them to be true to size. Cannot go wrong with the Rebels! 🙌🏻
I never ever wear New Balance Shoes, until over this weekend's half marathon race! Well to my surprise, I love the high arch and the cushion. The shoe is lite and comfortable. I love this shoe and want another pair. The toe box is wide and love the color. I did go with a size 8 but exchanged them for 8.5 in another color because the color I did want, was not in my size. I want to know if I should go even to a nine. I am thinking my next pair will be an 9. I hope to stay with this shoe and it will not break down so quick. This is a new brand for me compared to the other running shoes I wear~~
I have now had 2 pairs of these and over 250 miles on each pair! Definitely size up a half size as the toe is a snug fit. They are super light, bouncy, and great for long runs or intervals. I have ran a marathon in my second pair and they did not disappoint! The new colors are super cute. About to get my 3rd pair!
I was looking for a shoe to replace my Rebel3. I literally ran the soles off of that pair. These are more cushiony than the 3s they seem more durable but still Light weight. I was concerned about the arch support being too much but they don’t bother my arches. The shoe has nice energy return. I think they are probably more for tempos and longer speed work. Probably not an everyday trainer as advertised but I really like them. I’m going to try to find them in a different color and purchase them. The only thing I don’t love is the tongue of this shoe. I have to wear taller socks or it rubs. Every time I find a shoe I love the company discontinues them. So I’d say, plan ahead and get them while you can.
Runs small I bought two different shoes size 6 and they are ok but this model runs small I bought size six but it feels uncomfortable
I like this sneakers,so comfortable...Just super 👌 for walking, hiking and every day, very soft when walking and look nice
The shoes is very light and responsive. Fit so good and make my running smoothly and fast!
I usually run in minimalist shoes so was pretty nervous about switching to a stacked shoe. Have to say that I do love them. The look, the bounce, I definitely feel like I’m running faster and farther in them. I tend to not give 5 stars but the undyed color choice is my favorite part. I’ve always hated the color choices for women’s running shoes. And I can finally wear my sneakers with pride. For those switching from a barefoot type shoe, the adjustment isn’t so bad— thought rolling on my ankles would be more vulnerable but hasn’t happened yet. Although you may find some getting used to it. The stack will have you using your legs and feet differently.
