[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the girls who have just started running - these will change your world. My run speed time has doubled - it’s like running on clouds. Extremely comfortable shoes - very light and not too tight in any areas. Didn’t even need to break them in. If I could recommended one product - it would be these.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprisingly impressed by these! I never thought I would be running in New Balance, but they were really supportive, light and comfortable. Super bouncy too! I felt as comfortable in these as I do in my Hoka’s!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoes for running! The shoes fit well and are very lightweight. Cushion is comfortable and provides some support and bounce. The colour is nice too!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are super cushioning and bouncy. They do feel a little weird initially if you haven’t worn running shoes before. If you wear a flatter shoes it will take some time to get used to the feeling of such a thick sole. The width of the shoe is quite standard and I think for people who have a slightly wider ankle may find a little discomfort as it’s quite tight. Over this pair of shoes will definitely be my go to running shoe and the colour is just so cute.
Absolutely loving these FuelCell Rebel v5! They are so comfortable and springy. They have a nice wide toe box, which has meant no rubbing or blisters. They’re really light and fast, while also being stable and supportive. I’m loving them for my tempo runs and interval training. The pink colour is just gorgeous too. My new favourite shoe!
I upgraded my Fresh Foams with the Fuel Cell and although the sole has a good bounce, I find the outer of the Fresh Foam so much sturdier. Still gonna give myself more time to get used to the softness of the outer of Fuel Cell
The shoes are excellent, they look exactly like they do on the website, and the delivery was very fast. I recommend them 100 out of 100.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 feels like the perfect blend of comfort and performance for my daily runs. It offers a soft, cushioned ride that still has enough energy to keep me moving smoothly at different paces, from easy jogs to tempo efforts. The fit is generally secure, though I notice a little bit of room in the midfoot, but overall it hugs my foot well without feeling tight. Its lightweight design and responsive cushioning make it a reliable daily trainer, though I wouldn’t choose it for very fast races or when I need maximum stability. I appreciate its good traction and solid feel on various surfaces, making it versatile for most of my workouts. Overall, it’s a great balance of comfort and liveliness that works well for my mixed training needs.
I've been a New Balance fan for over 40 years. These are the worst that I've ever worn. As other reviewers have noted, the toe box is really cramped, and I bought a Wide. The tongue cuts into my foot and would require an ankle sock to be tolerable. The insert is not the quality I expect from New Balance. These look good, because they are less cushy and bulky, but I'm returning them. I'm so disappointed. Fortunately, I also bought two other NB pairs that are far superior. I already like the 1080v15, and the Fresh Foam X 1540v4 looks to be promising, we'll see.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been running in the FuelCell Rebel v5 for a few weeks, and they’ve quickly become a go-to. Super lightweight with a soft, cloud like feel which is perfect for easy runs and uptempo days. The upper is breathable and snug. Traction is solid, and the foam gives just enough cushion for daily miles. Great for daily training/runs and they strike a great balance of comfort and responsiveness.
