The BEST
I can't begin to tell you how much I love this shoe. First off, the aesthetics are amazing. I'm so happy they created a gender neutral color palette! On top of that, it's the most comfortable running shoe I've ever owned. I have a relatively neutral arch and find shoes like Hokas and most Nike running shoes to be painful after wearing too long. These are comfortable all day long, and so light weight! If they created more neutral color-ways like this I would buy 2 more pairs!

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 gives me a light
[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.

Mid running shoe
Was told by the sales rep these would make good long distance running shoes and sadly they don’t have nearly enough padding. To put into perspective- I ran 2 miles on 3 separate occasions and ended in severe shin pain. The arch and overall fit are great, but they don’t live up to what they’re branded to be.

Cloud like shoe
[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.

Great shoe
Very comfortable and breathable. Great for walking and jogging. Not sure if I like the front mesh part, as it shows your socks and it changes the color of the shoe..

Rebel v5
I love love love the rebel 4 so ai said let me give this one a try. I do enjoy them but I will say they are slightly heavier and stiffer. I only have about 20 miles on them so I wont count them out just yet.

Like Running on a Cloud
[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.

Walking on a marshmallow
[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.
