About this product
The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 is a women's daily trainer designed around a race-inspired aesthetic and a genuinely lightweight construction. Its engineered mesh upper pairs with FantomFit bonded overlays to deliver breathable, ultra-light support, while a redesigned heel and tongue add comfort during faster efforts. The midsole blends PEBA and EVA foams in a considered geometry that produces a responsive, propulsive feel underfoot, and the v5 carries more foam than its predecessor for added cushioning without extra weight. A 6mm heel stack (midsole plus outsole, approximate) keeps the ride low and connected. The redesigned outsole features increased rubber coverage at the forefoot for improved durability and traction. Available in the Raincloud colorway (SKU: wfcxl5a) and reported by customers to fit true to size, the FuelCell Rebel v5 transitions comfortably between steady long runs and quicker, more spontaneous sessions.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the FuelCell Rebel v5 Women's for its impressively lightweight build, versatile PEBA/EVA foam midsole, and energetic yet cushioned ride that handles easy runs, long runs, and tempo efforts equally well. The reworked upper is widely celebrated, with a much-improved padded heel collar, softer tongue, and roomy toebox that fits true to size and avoids irritation. Many testers call it one of the most enjoyable daily trainers in its class. The most common criticisms center on outsole and upper durability, with several reviewers questioning how well the shoe holds up over high mileage. Some note it feels less snappy and tempo-focused than earlier versions, and airflow from the upper is considered only adequate rather than exceptional.
