Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The Ellipse is designed for road running. It lacks the aggressive lug patterns and rock plates needed for technical trails.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 500 to 800 kilometers depending on your weight, running surface, and individual gait.

Is the sizing true to standard UK measurements?

Yes, the Ellipse follows standard New Balance sizing. If you have previously worn other New Balance models, the size should be consistent.

Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?

The stock insoles are removable, which allows for the insertion of most standard custom orthotics.

Are these waterproof?

No, these trainers are designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if stepped in puddles or used in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Try a different lacing technique, such as the runner's loop (heel lock), to secure the ankle.

Foam feeling compressed

Ensure the shoes have at least 24 hours of rest between long runs to allow the foam to decompress fully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level impact protection with Fresh Foam X
  • Responsive cushioning for improved energy return
  • Lightweight construction suitable for daily training
  • Breathable materials maintain comfort in varied conditions

Cons

  • Not suitable for rugged off-road or technical trail use
  • Specific fit profile may require trial for those with non-standard foot widths
  • Limited to road and light path surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Ellipse trainers last through their expected lifespan, prioritize a proper break-in period of 20-30 kilometers on shorter runs to allow the foam to settle to your gait. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run and use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
