New Balance  FuelCell Rebel v5 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

At 51 years old and currently training hard — lifting 5x/week with regular runs mixed in — these have been a great pickup. They feel light, responsive and comfortable straight out of the box, with enough FuelCell pop to keep runs fun without beating up my legs. They’re especially good for easy to moderate runs on tired legs from strength work, and they disappear on foot during longer sessions. Not a max-cushion shoe, but that’s exactly why they work so well in a mixed training week. Easy to run in, easy to recover from — perfect for how I train right now.

After almost 100km of running in the New Balance FuelCell Rebel (from v3 to v5), the experience has been consistently great. The shoe responds really well to my wide feet and feels comfortable for easy runs, tempo sessions, and interval training. Truly a solid all-rounder that supports all types of running workouts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been running in the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 for a little over a month now, and honestly, I’ve been really impressed. I had been looking for something lightweight but still cushioned enough for daily runs, and they’ve hit that sweet spot. The ride feels soft underfoot but still has a nice bit of pop when I pick up the pace which is perfect for easy miles and the occasional tempo. They fit true to size for me, with a secure midfoot and just enough room in the toe box to stay comfortable on longer runs. The upper feels snug without being restrictive, although it can get a little warm on hot days. Traction has been solid on dry pavement, and even in light rain they’ve held up well. After around 150 km, they’re showing minimal wear, which is better than I expected given the exposed foam in the midfoot. If I had to nitpick, they’re not the most stable on sharp turns or super fast efforts, but that’s not what I need them for anyway. Overall, they’ve become my go-to shoe for most runs - comfortable, fun to run in, and surprisingly versatile.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable with perfect fit, great traction, durable build, and excellent support for all-day wear. Reasonably priced & affordable!

Excellent shoe that runs fast without sacrificing cushioning. Even on double digit mile runs this shoe provides comfort, and also feels fast on the track during speed workouts. A great all purpose shoe to have in your lineup.

If you’re a new runner who moves at the speed of a thoughtful power walker but wants to feel like you’re gliding through the Boston Marathon, the FuelCell Rebel v5s are your delusional little miracle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just tried the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 (Men’s)—well, technically my partner did—and he absolutely loved them! From the moment he put them on, he said they felt incredibly lightweight and responsive. The design is super sleek, with that race-inspired mesh upper and bold midsole that really makes a statement. Definitely a standout shoe. The FuelCell midsole (a mix of PEBA and EVA foams) gives that perfect balance of cushion and bounce. He said it felt super energetic underfoot—great for both long runs and quick tempo sessions. It’s got that "ready to race but comfy enough to train in every day" vibe.

My first pair of New balance road running shoes and let me say it won’t be my last. I love the cushioned feel the fuel cell rebel v5 gives you every strike of the foot not only a good looking shoe but very comfortable and light weight and I would highly recommend the shoe if your planning on hitting the roads not matter what pace your trying to achieve.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a pretty nice low-drop trainer. At first it felt a bit weird but I got used to it later on. The cushion inside was very comfy. The design is awesome.
