Love!
I always love their new pair of running shoes and I do enjoy the cushion on the shoe. Fits true to size and has been good for my short runs so far.

Fun and fast trainer
I love running in my Rebels. They feel fast and springy, and fit my feet well. Although they don’t have a plate in them, they sure feel like they do.

New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5 Review [Staff Review]
AMAZING! My new favorite shoe. I got them 4 days ago and have done 3 runs in them. I took them out for 11 miles with tempo work and they were fantastic. I appreciate the firmness of the outsole while still being a comfortable ride. Allowed me to pick the pace but held up very nicely for a long run.

All around Amazing
I love these shoes. Using these as my mid distance fun sad bouncy miles but to be honest they can fit the all around shoe for tempos, mid, and long distance runs. Plus I love the style so can double as my casual weekend away shoe that can be laced up for that perfect run on a get away weekend that inevitably ends with good coffee and good conversation. Can’t wait to get my next pair and will assuredly keep this model in my training cycle rotations!

Fun shoe! [Staff Review]
New version of the rebel is a great update! Loved the cushioning but still ran a little small

Rebel v5 [Staff Review]
light weight and soft yet responsive. Has more rebound than the v4. Upper fits more securely and comfortably than the v4 as well. No longer swimming in the upper volume-wise, but still runs short in the front.

Great Everyday Shoe, But Hurt On My Run! [Staff Review]
I had high hopes for this as a speedy, uptempo shoe. The dialed-in fit and responsive cushioning felt very premium. Loved them as an everyday shoe but defintely not a running shoe for me. I think it's really nice, and I'll probably pull it for runners who need something fast for shorter distances (XC/Track, speed work, etc.).
