FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity interval training?
While the Ellipse is excellent for running and light fitness, it is primarily optimized for linear motion and road running rather than side-to-side lateral movements.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft brush, then let them air dry.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
Yes, they generally align with standard New Balance sizing, but we recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the primary material used in the construction?
The upper is constructed from breathable polyester, designed for durability and airflow.
Can these be used for wet weather running?
The breathable polyester material is not waterproof, so they are best suited for dry or light damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot and check that you have the correct size for your arch shape.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Regularly remove the internal insole to shake out dirt and grit that may have entered during road runs.
Discoloration of the beige/blue aesthetic
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution rather than harsh bleach, which may damage the polyester fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ellipse trainers, begin by ensuring a proper fit; allow for a small amount of space in the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during exercise. For maintenance, remove surface dirt after each run using a soft brush. If the trainers become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam. Because the upper is primarily polyester, you may use a gentle cloth with mild detergent to spot-clean any stains. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these processes can degrade the structural integrity of the cushioning and the upper fabrics.
