FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
The Ellipse v1 Breathe is designed for maximum airflow, meaning the upper material is porous and will let water through easily. They are best kept for dry, warm conditions.
How should I clean the white upper?
Spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft-bristled brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are designed for road and gym use. The outsole is not equipped with the deep lugs required for loose dirt or technical trails.
What is the primary benefit of Fresh Foam X?
Fresh Foam X provides a lighter, more cushioned, and more responsive experience than traditional foam, helping to reduce joint impact.
Do these run true to size?
New Balance trainers generally follow standard sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against a standard UK size chart to ensure the correct 11.5 fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel instability
Adjust the lace tension using a runner's loop (heel lock) method to secure the ankle collar better.
Midsole feeling less responsive after heavy use
Rotate between two pairs of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ellipse v1 Breathe trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before attempting full-distance runs to allow the Fresh Foam X to adapt to your foot strike pattern.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole. For the polyester upper, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place these trainers in a dryer or near a direct heat source, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white aesthetic.
