FAQs
What is Fresh Foam X technology?
Fresh Foam X is New Balance's premium cushioning material designed to provide an ultra-cushioned and responsive experience.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Ellipse is designed primarily for road and pavement usage; it may not provide enough traction or lateral protection for technical trail terrain.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The Ellipse is available in various UK sizes; refer to the manufacturer's size guide and consider allowing a thumb-width of space in the toe box for swelling during long runs.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and the structural integrity of the shoe; hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
Is the material waterproof?
The polyester upper is breathable, which helps moisture escape, but it is not waterproof and will soak through in heavy rain.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual wear patterns.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping within the shoe
Adjust the lacing pattern to a runner's loop or ensure the size is appropriate for your specific foot width.
Foam feeling compressed after a long run
Allow the shoes 24-48 hours to fully decompress and moisture to evaporate between intensive training sessions.
Accumulation of dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift debris from the fibers before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your New Balance Ellipse requires proper initial fit and routine upkeep. Ensure the shoe is laced snugly to prevent slippage during high-mileage runs. Since the shoe is constructed from polyester, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes during cleaning. To clean, remove excess dirt with a soft brush, then wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam integrity.
