FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the New Balance Ellipse trainers are designed for everyday running and offer excellent cushioning, making them suitable for marathon training where comfort over long distances is key.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
These trainers are primarily designed for running. While they can be used for light gym activities, they may lack the lateral support needed for some weightlifting or agility exercises. For dedicated gym training, a cross-trainer might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping, and the shoe should feel snug but not tight across the midfoot.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or about every 6-12 months, depending on usage. Look for signs of wear such as compressed cushioning, worn-out treads, or new aches and pains after runs.
What is the difference between Fresh Foam X and other New Balance foams?
Fresh Foam X is New Balance's premium cushioning technology, offering a balance of softness and responsiveness. It is generally softer and more energetic than older Fresh Foam versions, designed for optimal comfort during higher mileage.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the New Balance Ellipse trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during runs and will not provide protection against heavy rain or puddles.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to prevent blisters, it's recommended to wear moisture-wicking athletic socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool. Cotton socks tend to hold moisture, which can lead to discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during runs
Check for debris lodged in the outsole. Ensure laces are tied properly and not rubbing against parts of the shoe. If the noise persists, it might indicate an internal issue, and you should contact customer support.
Slipping or lack of traction
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. If the issue persists on wet surfaces, be aware that most road running shoes have limited traction on slick conditions. Check if the outsole tread is excessively worn down; if so, it may be time for a new pair.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to find a more secure and comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Break-in periods can vary; a few shorter runs may help the shoes adapt to your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The New Balance Ellipse trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. We recommend trying them on with your usual running socks.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. They are not intended for activities requiring specialized footwear, such as trail running or competitive track events.
Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause the materials to warp or shrink.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps preserve the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
