FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the polyester upper is durable, these are not waterproof. They perform best in dry conditions or light dampness.
How often should I replace my Ellipse trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, they provide enough stability for general gym use, though they are specifically optimized for linear running movements.
Do I need to break them in?
Fresh Foam X technology is comfortable out of the box, but a few short walks or light jogs will help the shoe contour to your foot shape.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too snug after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise; ensure you are tying laces with consistent tension and consider loosening them slightly mid-run if needed.
Slippage in the heel area
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel counter against your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best experience, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks to avoid unnecessary friction. To clean your trainers, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the specialized materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and cushioning properties of the foam.
