FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed to support the high mileage associated with marathon preparation.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Ellipse is optimized for road running; they may lack the aggressive lug patterns needed for technical or muddy trails.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Gently scrub with a soft brush, warm water, and a mild soap, then let them air dry.
Is the sizing true to standard UK measurements?
Yes, they align with standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can affect the fit.
What is the primary benefit of Fresh Foam X?
It provides a balance of softness and energy return, reducing impact stress on your joints.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after initial runs
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened and allow a brief break-in period for the foam to contour to your foot.
Excessive dirt or mud buildup
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe the polyester upper; avoid soaking the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ellipse trainers, avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the specialized foams and structural integrity of the upper. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Because the Ellipse series features specific fit profiles, it is recommended to ensure your sizing matches the UK standard provided. If you intend to use custom orthotics, test the fit with the existing insole removed to ensure adequate volume in the toe box.
