Full details
The New Balance Ellipse is a performance-focused running shoe designed for adult men who need a reliable trainer for daily runs, lunch-break workouts, or evening jogs.

FAQs
Is the New Balance Ellipse suitable for marathon distances?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed to provide comfort and support, making it suitable for long-distance road running.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
These are primarily designed as road running shoes; while they offer great cushioning, they may not provide the lateral stability required for heavy weightlifting or specialized gym training.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Gently scrub with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fabric weave.
Does the size reflect standard UK sizing?
Yes, this model follows standard UK adult sizing conventions. We recommend using your current New Balance size as a reference.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Ellipse is constructed from breathable materials designed for airflow, which means they are not waterproof and are best suited for dry or light-weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
Ensure the shoes have been worn for a few short sessions to allow the foam to break in; avoid excessive heat exposure which can harden materials.
Accumulated dirt on the mesh
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris, then spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Ellipse trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.
- Fit Check: Ensure the size UK 10 fit allows for roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the midsole.
- Air Drying: Always air dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Direct sunlight or extreme heat can cause the materials to shrink or warp.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
