FAQs
What type of runner is the Ellipse best for?
It is designed primarily for neutral runners looking for a comfortable, reliable daily trainer for varied distances.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is well-suited for the high-mileage demands of marathon training blocks.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and the structural integrity of the upper. Spot clean with mild soap instead.
Do these come in different widths?
The current line follows standard sizing; please check the specific product variant for width availability.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester, which provides excellent breathability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch after long runs
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened. If discomfort persists, consider using an orthotic insert tailored to your foot arch type.
Upper material showing signs of wear
Clean the polyester fabric regularly to prevent grit from grinding into the fibers, which can cause micro-tears over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Ellipse trainers remain in peak condition:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected the appropriate UK size. The Ellipse fits standard to the New Balance sizing chart, so consider your usual running shoe size.
- Break-in: While they feel comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam to compress and adapt to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash the polyester upper using mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam cushioning properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature breakdown of the midsole materials.
