FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
No, these are designed for road and gym use and do not have the aggressive tread or protection required for uneven, rocky, or muddy trails.
Can I use these for long-distance marathons?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is engineered for comfort over long distances, making them suitable for high-mileage training.
How do I ensure the right fit?
New Balance sizing is generally standard. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling while running.
Is the polyester material water-resistant?
No, the material is specifically designed for maximum airflow, meaning it will absorb water if exposed to rain.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure your ankle firmly in the heel cup.
Material showing signs of discoloration
Spot clean using a professional-grade sneaker cleaner specifically formulated for white synthetic fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Ellipse v1 Breathe trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of polyester, it is important to avoid abrasive scrubbing which could damage the mesh fibers. If they become dusty or muddy, gently brush off loose debris once dry and wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive bonds. Always allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
