Full details

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon training?
The Ellipse trainers are excellent for daily runs and general fitness. For high-mileage marathon training, you might consider them as a comfortable option for recovery or shorter runs, paired with a shoe designed for peak performance over longer distances.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug but not tight, and the midfoot should feel secure without pressure points.
Can I use these trainers for cross-training or gym workouts?
Yes, the stability and cushioning make them suitable for many gym activities. However, for highly specialized activities like weightlifting or court sports, shoes with specific support features might be more appropriate.
How long does the Fresh Foam X cushioning last?
The Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed for durability. Typically, it maintains its optimal performance for 300-500 miles of running, after which you might notice a decrease in responsiveness.
What is the main difference between the Ellipse and other New Balance trainers?
The Ellipse line is specifically engineered to prioritize comfort and enjoyment for everyday running. It balances Fresh Foam X cushioning with a responsive feel, optimized for consistent daily use, particularly in warmer weather due to its breathable upper.
Will these trainers provide good grip on wet surfaces?
The outsole is designed for general road running grip. While adequate for most conditions, extreme wetness or slippery surfaces may require caution. For enhanced wet-weather traction, consider trainers with specialized rubber compounds.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear.
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Feet feel too warm.
This is due to the breathable upper. Consider wearing thinner socks or ensuring adequate ventilation during runs.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While durable, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the trainers after 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant loss of support and comfort.
Tread wear on the outsole.
Normal wear and tear for a running shoe. If excessive or uneven, check your running gait and consider consulting a professional.
