FAQs
What is Fresh Foam X cushioning?
Fresh Foam X is New Balance's most advanced cushioning technology, offering a soft yet responsive feel designed to enhance comfort and performance during runs.
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The Ellipse v1 is designed for everyday miles and general training. For marathon-specific needs, you might consider specialized long-distance running shoes, but these can serve well for training runs.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should be snug, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly (about a thumb's width). There should be no pinching or excessive rubbing.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, the Ellipse v1 can offer adequate support for some gym activities. However, for activities requiring lateral stability like weightlifting or cross-training, specialized gym shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies based on usage, frequency, terrain, and individual weight, but typically running shoes are recommended to be replaced between 300 to 500 miles of running.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the New Balance Ellipse v1 series is available in various color combinations, including Blue/Grey and Black, in addition to this Green/Grey option.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct UK size. If the fit is still snug, try lacing them more loosely and wearing them for short periods to allow them to break in. If the issue persists, consider a different size or width if available.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The cushioning may have compacted over significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes if they have exceeded their typical lifespan (usually 300-500 miles, depending on usage and individual biomechanics).
Slipping during runs
Ensure the laces are tied securely. Check that the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists on wet surfaces, be mindful of reduced traction in such conditions.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and cool water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the shape.
