FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Ellipse v1 Breathe is designed with a porous, breathable mesh upper to maximize airflow, meaning they are not waterproof.
What is Fresh Foam X?
Fresh Foam X is New Balance's proprietary midsole cushioning compound that offers a balance of softness, rebound, and lightweight durability.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and light movement, these are performance trainers optimized for forward-motion running, not heavy weightlifting.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent fabric pilling.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they are designed to fit standard UK sizing, though personal preference for running shoe roominess can vary.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of insufficient arch support
Consider using aftermarket insoles if you require specific orthotic correction beyond the standard factory footbed.
Accumulation of dirt on the white exterior
Spot clean the mesh upper gently with a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth immediately after exposure to dirt.
Pros and Cons

- Highly breathable upper material ideal for warm temperatures
- Lightweight construction reduces overall fatigue
- Responsive energy return for improved pace management
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance trainers last, start by loosening the laces fully when putting them on to avoid damaging the heel counter. These trainers are standard UK fit; ensure you wear performance running socks to achieve the intended fit and moisture-wicking benefits.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid machine washing, which can break down the adhesives and foam properties.
- Clean surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth.
- Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
- Rotate your footwear to allow the foam compression to reset between sessions.
