FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed for high-mileage comfort, making them a great choice for long-distance training.
Does the leather upper cause feet to overheat?
While leather is less breathable than mesh, these trainers are designed with performance airflow in mind, though they are best suited for moderate temperature environments.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While designed primarily for running, the stable base and leather support make them suitable for general gym activities and cross-training.
How should I store these trainers to preserve the leather?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
Is the size UK 7 consistent with other New Balance models?
New Balance generally maintains consistent sizing across their series, though leather shoes may feel slightly more snug than mesh equivalents initially.
Troubleshooting
The leather upper feels stiff during the first run.
Leather requires a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short intervals of walking or light jogging to allow the material to flex and conform to your foot shape.
Accumulation of dust or dirt in the surface grain.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dirt, then wipe the leather down with a clean, slightly damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Ellipse trainers, begin by loosening the laces fully to accommodate your foot comfortably during the first few uses. Compatibility is optimized for standard road surfaces; avoid heavy mud or rugged, rocky trails that may scuff the leather surface. Care for your shoes by wiping the exterior leather with a soft, damp cloth after runs to remove debris and salt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the leather finish. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to crack or lose its shape.
