FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?

What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, lightweight polyester.
Are these suitable for marathon training?

How often should I replace these trainers?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles depending on your gait and the surface you run on.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Check that your lacing is not too tight across the instep and verify that you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks.
Visible dirt on the white exterior
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution with a soft-bristled brush, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing aggressively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ellipse Breathe trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These are standard fit trainers; ensure you are using the correct UK sizing to avoid friction-related hotspots.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 2-3 short runs for the foam to adapt to your specific strike pattern.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper stains, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the polyester material from fading or losing structural tension.
