FAQs

What type of running are these trainers best for?

The New Balance Ellipse v1 Trainers are best suited for everyday road running, jogging, and general fitness activities where comfort and a responsive feel are prioritized.

How do I determine the right size?

We recommend referring to the New Balance sizing chart available on our website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the provided measurements for UK sizing. Trying them on in-store is also advised if possible.

Can I wear these for marathon training?

While the Fresh Foam X cushioning provides excellent comfort for daily miles, marathon training often requires a shoe with more specific support and durability features. The Ellipse v1 is excellent for base mileage but may not be sufficient for the entirety of high-mileage marathon training.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during runs. For wet weather running, consider water-resistant or waterproof footwear options.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan typically ranges from 300 to 500 miles, depending on running intensity, frequency, body weight, and running surface. Look for signs of wear like compressed cushioning or worn-out tread.

How does the Fresh Foam X cushioning differ from other foams?

Fresh Foam X is New Balance's premium cushioning technology, offering a softer, more comfortable, and more responsive experience compared to standard foams. It provides a balance of plushness and energy return.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. Check sock choice; thicker socks might offer more cushioning.

Reduced cushioning over time

The lifespan of cushioning depends on usage. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles of running or when noticeable degradation occurs.

Slipping during runs

Ensure the laces are tied securely. The outsole grip is optimized for typical road surfaces; avoid running on excessively wet or slippery conditions.
