FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arch feet?
The New Balance Ellipse series is designed with a neutral geometry which accommodates a wide range of foot shapes, including those with high arches, though orthotics can be swapped in if needed.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While optimized for road running, the stable Fresh Foam base makes them versatile enough for light gym training and treadmill sessions.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric fibers.
What does the 'X' in Fresh Foam X represent?
The X represents the evolution of the original Fresh Foam, offering increased energy return and a softer, more responsive ride.
Do these run true to size?
The New Balance Ellipse typically follows standard sizing conventions, but it is recommended to ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping within the shoe
Try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to better secure the ankle and midfoot.
Foam feeling compressed after a long run
Fresh Foam X requires a brief recovery period; rotate your trainers with another pair every 24 hours to allow the foam cells to rebound fully.
Outer sole debris buildup
Use a soft brush to remove gravel or dirt from the tread pattern to maintain traction and prevent premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Ellipse trainers, it is important to practice proper maintenance. Always unlace your shoes when removing them to preserve the structural integrity of the heel collar. For cleaning, wipe down the exterior polyester mesh with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the foam. Ensure the shoes air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the material to stiffen or discolour over time.
