FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
No, the Ellipse v1 Breathe is optimized for road and pavement use and lacks the aggressive tread required for uneven trail surfaces.
How should I clean the white upper?
Spot clean with a soft brush and a mild detergent solution. Avoid bleach, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though we recommend checking your specific foot measurements against our sizing guide.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
How many miles can I expect from these trainers?
Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces on which you run.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing method to secure the ankle collar firmly against your foot.
Foam feeling flat after heavy use
Rotate your running shoes. Giving the foam 24-48 hours to decompress between runs can help it regain its rebound properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable immediately, wear them for a few short walks before committing to high-mileage runs to ensure the fit works with your specific foot strike.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. If wet, stuff with newspaper to help maintain the shape and absorb internal moisture.
