New Balance Ellipse - Grey - UK 4.5

Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed specifically to handle high-mileage training loads, making it suitable for long-distance preparation.

While excellent for running, the stack height of the foam may feel unstable during heavy lateral-movement exercises or lifting; they are best kept for running and aerobic activities.

New Balance trainers generally follow standard sizing. If you wear orthotics, ensure you test the fit with your inserts removed and replaced to check for internal volume.

The polyester material is breathable, which means it is not waterproof and may absorb water during heavy rain or damp conditions.

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight, as the cushioning will eventually degrade.

Try a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to better secure your ankle against the heel collar.

This is normal for high-cushion foam. Allow at least 24-48 hours of recovery time between runs so the foam can expand back to its original density.

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris after every run to prevent grit from working its way into the polyester fibers.
