FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance Ellipse is designed with a standard fit; if you have particularly wide feet, ensure you test them with your preferred running socks for proper clearance.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the Fresh Foam X midsole. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The polyester upper is breathable, which means it is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running, paved surfaces, and well-maintained light paths.
How often should I replace these trainers?
As a general rule for high-mileage training shoes, you should expect to replace them every 300 to 500 miles depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of dampness inside the shoe after a run
Remove the insole after your run and let the shoe air out in a well-ventilated area to allow the polyester material to dry completely.
Foam feeling compressed after heavy use
Fresh Foam X requires a recovery period; rotate between two pairs of shoes if you run every day to allow the foam to rebound fully between sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Ellipse trainers remain in optimal condition, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter walks or light jogs to allow the foam to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris. Wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe.
- Air Drying: Always let your trainers air dry naturally. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources, as high temperatures can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading and structural breakdown.
