Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot or ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Ellipse trainers, begin by ensuring you have the correct size for your foot shape. If you use custom orthotics, the internal volume of these trainers generally accommodates standard inserts. To care for your shoes, avoid machine washing, which can damage the foam and upper materials. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material deformation and adhesive degradation. Always allow them to fully dry between runs to maintain internal hygiene.
