Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Ellipse shoes provide maximum lifespan, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter 20-30 minute walks to allow the Fresh Foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Sizing: Ensure you are using your standard running shoe size, as the Ellipse fits true to New Balance's standard size charts for UK 11.
- Cleaning: Remove loose debris after every run. If they become muddy, hand-wash using a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying as this can damage the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the midsole foam to degrade or discolor over time.
