Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Ellipse Trainers are designed for dedicated male runners who value comfort and energy return during their daily training sessions. By utilizing New Balance's signature Fresh Foam X technology, these shoes provide a plush, bouncy underfoot experience that eases the fatigue of regular miles. While they excel as a daily workhorse, the focus on heavy cushioning may feel slightly bulky for those who prioritize lightweight racing shoes over long-term comfort.

FAQs

Are the New Balance Ellipse shoes waterproof?

No, these are standard road running trainers made of polyester and are not designed to be waterproof.

Can I use these for trail running?

These are designed specifically for road and pavement usage and may lack the necessary grip for technical trail surfaces.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.

Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but always check the specific UK size label on your current pair for the most accurate fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to use a washing machine, as the agitation and heat can damage the foam cushioning and adhesives.

Troubleshooting

Foam feels less bouncy after long-term use

Rotate your trainers with a second pair to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs.

Upper material holds odors

Remove the insoles after each run to air them out separately and sprinkle baking soda in the shoe overnight.

Difficulty achieving a secure fit

Try the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing method to prevent heel slippage and improve midfoot lockdown.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Ellipse trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the polyester upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after each run. If the shoes become muddy, hand-wash them using cold water and a mild detergent; avoid using a washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning integrity. When selecting your size, ensure you are referencing the specific UK sizing (e.g., size 11 for the Brown/Purple model) as fit can vary slightly between different production series like the v1 or current editions.
