FAQs
Is the New Balance Ellipse suitable for marathons?
The Ellipse is optimized for daily training miles, providing the comfort necessary for long runs, though individual preference for race-day shoes may vary.
Can I use these for cross-training?
While excellent for running, their primary design focus is on forward-motion impact; they may lack the lateral support needed for high-intensity multi-directional sports.
How do I know if the size is correct?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the polyester upper is designed for breathability and is not inherently waterproof.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing technique to a runner's loop or ensure the heel is firmly seated in the heel cup.
Material showing signs of dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution to gently scrub affected areas; allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by ensuring you have the correct UK size for your specific foot type. Use the laces to achieve a snug but non-restrictive fit across the midfoot. For care, it is recommended to spot-clean the polyester upper with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the foam structure and adhesives. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the materials.
