Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Ellipse trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short walks or light runs to let the upper conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after your run. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam properties.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place your shoes near a radiator, heater, or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can deform the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent odor buildup and maintain the integrity of the breathable upper materials.
