Can I use these for trail running?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, ensure you have correctly identified your UK size, as the Ellipse fits according to standard athletic sizing. Before your first run, wear the shoes indoors for an hour to ensure the arch support and width meet your personal requirements.
Care Instructions:
- Remove surface dirt after each run using a soft-bristle brush.
- Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- If the shoes get wet, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Replace your shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running frequency and surface impact.
