FAQs

Who are the New Balance NB Ellipse Trainers designed for?

These trainers are designed for adult women who engage in daily running, seeking comfort and a responsive feel for their everyday miles.

What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam X cushioning?

The Fresh Foam X cushioning provides unparalleled comfort and a soft, cushioned feel underfoot, making runs more enjoyable and reducing impact.

Are these trainers suitable for marathon training?

While comfortable for daily miles, they are primarily designed for everyday running. For marathon training, specialized shoes with higher levels of support or specific cushioning might be more appropriate depending on individual needs.

How do I clean my Ellipse trainers?

It is recommended to spot clean the trainers with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed with nylon, offering a balance of breathability and durability.

Can these trainers be used for other sports besides running?

These trainers are optimized for running. For other sports like cross-training or court sports, dedicated shoes designed for those activities would provide better performance and support.

What does 'bouncy underfoot feeling' mean?

This refers to the responsive nature of the midsole foam, which returns some energy with each stride, giving a sensation of propulsion and reducing the feeling of effort.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort after a run

Ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit. Consider if the cushioning level is appropriate for your running style and distance. Break in the shoes gradually.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The cushioning may naturally decrease with significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on wear.

Soles showing excessive wear

Check running surfaces; consistent running on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Ensure correct stride and avoid excessive braking.
