FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is specifically designed to handle the high mileage associated with marathon training.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Washing machines can damage the synthetic materials and the glue holding the midsole; stick to hand cleaning.
Do these provide arch support?
The Ellipse features a neutral platform, but the foam architecture provides structural support suitable for most neutral foot types.
Are these effective for gym training?
While excellent for road running, the cushioning is optimized for forward motion and may feel less stable for heavy lateral gym exercises.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-performance polyester for breathability and durability.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Re-lace the shoes using a runner's loop or adjust tension to better suit your arch height.
Excessive moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than cotton, which retains sweat.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Fresh Foam X requires a brief rest period between runs to rebound; rotate between two pairs if running daily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first run, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate your specific foot volume to prevent mid-foot pressure. Since these are polyester-based trainers, avoid using high-heat drying methods, as this can damage the synthetic fibers and degrade the midsole bonding. To clean, remove loose debris with a soft-bristled brush and wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; always air-dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning.
