FAQs

What type of running are these trainers best suited for?

The New Balance Ellipse v1 trainers are best suited for daily road running, recovery runs, and general fitness activities where comfort and a responsive feel are prioritized.

How do I choose the right size?

We recommend referring to the New Balance sizing chart and measuring your foot length. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with enough room in the toe box.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the cushioning and materials. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.

What is the main benefit of Fresh Foam X cushioning?

Fresh Foam X cushioning provides exceptional softness and a lively, responsive feel, contributing to a more enjoyable and comfortable running experience.

Are these trainers suitable for trail running?

No, the Ellipse v1 is designed primarily for road running. They may not provide sufficient grip or protection for uneven or technical trail surfaces.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear or a decrease in cushioning and support.

What other colors are available?

The Ellipse v1 trainers are available in various color options, including Black, Green, and Pink, often with secondary accent colors.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider if a different size or model might be more suitable.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

Cushioning can naturally compress with use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.

Discomfort during runs

Check for proper lacing technique. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the activity (e.g., not for trail running). Consult a professional if persistent discomfort occurs.
