FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking or casual wear?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning makes them excellent for all-day wear and walking, in addition to running.
How often should I replace my Ellipse trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual gait.
Can I use custom orthotics with these trainers?
The Ellipse trainers feature a removable insole, making them compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotics.
Are these waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed for breathability and are not waterproof or water-resistant.
What is the difference between the Ellipse and the Ellipse v1?
The series represents the latest evolutions in the line, with minor aesthetic and upper construction updates to enhance fit and airflow.
Do I need to break them in?
While the Fresh Foam X provides comfort immediately, it is recommended to take a few shorter runs to allow the foam and upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness in the mid-foot area
Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as using a 'window lacing' pattern, to alleviate pressure on the top of the foot.
Sole grip feels reduced after heavy use
Check the outsole for embedded debris like small stones or grit; remove these with a blunt tool to restore contact surface.
Insole sliding during runs
Ensure the insole is seated flatly against the interior base of the shoe. If it continues to move, replace it with a dedicated high-performance running liner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first run, ensure you have tested the fit by wearing your preferred running socks to account for foot swelling during exercise. For ongoing maintenance, do not machine wash or dry your trainers, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam. Instead, remove the insole and laces, then clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Air-dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or radiators to preserve the integrity of the material and the shape of the shoe.
