FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is engineered to provide comfort and support during long-mileage training blocks.
How should I clean my Ellipse trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for the upper. Air dry only.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road and gym use; the mesh upper is not designed for debris or sharp trail hazards.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
New Balance generally maintains consistent sizing, but we recommend measuring your foot using a Brannock device to ensure the best fit for the Ellipse series.
Does this shoe provide extra arch support?
The Ellipse is designed with a focus on stability and cushioning, which provides neutral support suitable for most runners.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of premature wear on the sole
Check your running surface; the Ellipse is optimized for road and gym use and will wear faster on gravel or abrasive trails.
Midsole feels less responsive over time
Allow at least 24 hours between runs for the foam to recover its shape, especially after long-distance training.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Ellipse trainers, ensure you have the correct size for your gait cycle, as proper arch alignment is essential for maximizing the benefits of the midsole cushioning. For daily care, avoid placing your shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam properties and fabric structure. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the interior becomes damp after a run, remove the insole and allow the shoe to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp.
