FAQs
Are the New Balance Ellipse trainers suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are designed for daily mileage and high-frequency use, making them a capable partner for marathon training blocks.
Can I use these for cross-training or lifting?
While they are comfortable, they are primarily road running shoes. For heavy lifting, you may prefer a shoe with a flatter, more stable base.
How long should a pair of Ellipse trainers last?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Is the Ellipse a stability or neutral shoe?
The Ellipse is designed as a neutral trainer with a focus on high-cushioning and responsiveness.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and structural adhesives. Stick to spot cleaning with a cloth.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel instability
Check your lacing technique; try a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing method to secure the midfoot and heel.
Foam appears compressed after long runs
Fresh Foam X requires a recovery period; allow the shoes to rest for at least 24 hours between runs to let the material regain its shape.
Outer sole traction is decreasing
Inspect the tread for debris or small stones wedged in the grooves; clean them out carefully with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Ellipse trainers, ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot width and arch type. When first wearing them, take a few short walks or light jogs to allow the foam to conform slightly to your foot. For maintenance, keep your shoes away from prolonged exposure to direct heat sources such as radiators, which can warp the foam. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging them in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesive and foam properties.
