FAQs
Is the Ellipse v1 suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed to provide sustained comfort, making it a viable option for high-mileage training.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the specialized foam and upper materials. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the difference between the polyester and nylon versions?
Polyester generally offers a softer, more traditional fabric feel, while nylon is often used for increased durability and a slightly firmer, more structured fit.
How often should I replace these trainers?
As a rule of thumb for daily trainers, aim to replace them every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Are these shoes stable for overpronators?
The Ellipse v1 is designed as a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support, you may consider using aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Accumulated dirt in the outsole grooves
Use a specialized shoe brush or a dull butter knife to gently dislodge pebbles or mud from the tread after your run.
Upper material losing shape
Stuff the shoes with dry paper towels or a shoe tree when not in use to help them maintain their original form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ellipse v1 trainers, proper care is essential. Always untie the laces before removing the shoes to prevent heel collapse and maintain the integrity of the heel counter. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can damage the foam cushioning properties. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush and wipe down the synthetic polyester or nylon upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these processes can compromise the adhesives and structural components of the shoe.
