[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore it with leggings to go walking around my neighborhood and for a light 3 mile jog after. I love how cushiony but still supportive that they felt. I love the color and styling of the shoe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They remembered me the confort of the 1080v14 , Love the idea of having a shoe to show my followers that would be their first option for a first running shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable for running and enjoying. Not for sprints or long distances.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the New Balance Ellipse for both walking and everyday wear, and I really love them. They feel very light and comfortable from the first use, and the cushioning makes them great for long days on my feet. I also love the design because they look sporty but still easy to style with different outfits. They feel supportive, smooth, and perfect for an active lifestyle. Definitely one of my favorite pairs from New Balance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Ellipse through my running crew and have worn them for short easy runs (<5 miles) and walking and they feel great for both ! I am a slower runner (~11 min/mile at the moment) and these feel like a great shoe for my easy running pace. The colors are really fun and the style is great as a daily wear shoe as well as a running shoe. I also have a pair of the Mores and the 1080s and I’d say the Ellipse falls somewhere between these in terms of cushion and bouncyness. For sizing, I took my regular New Balance size - the width is pretty standard (not as roomy in the toe area as the Mores, or as slim as the 1080s). Overall a great, fun shoe !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really enjoyed the shoe! As soon as I put it on, I could tell it was going to be a very responsive ride. When running, I noticed it would be especially great for midfoot or heel strikers, thanks to the foam focused toward the back of the shoe. The padding around the shoe might run a little hot in the summer, but that’s pretty expected for a daily trainer. As a borderline wide-foot runner, I was relieved that it still felt like there was enough room for my feet in thin running socks. Bonus points for the look, too—I’ve definitely worn these out casually as street shoes. Excited to keep running in them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] " Light in every way" These shoes feel light not only physically but mentally too. They make every run feel smooth comfortable, and enjoyable. More than chasing metrics or pace, they invite you reconnect whit the joy of running: Sharing miles whitt friends, talking , laughing, and simply enjoying the moment. A perfect balance between performance and good feelings.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took these on a work trip to SF. Perfect multi use! I could bang out a 4 mile run before work and wore them to the office and still felt stylish. Love the aqua color way, and the foam heel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ellipse is a great addition to my current rotation. It’s comfy and has great cushion. I believe this would be a great reliable daily trainer that one can use on those easier run days.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A shoe that strikes the perfect balance between style and comfort: the new Women’s Ellipse v1 from New Balance. I immediately loved the look, but what really impressed me was how they feel on the run. I’m very familiar with New Balance footwear—especially the 1080s—so I already appreciate the Fresh Foam cushioning and support, and the Ellipse v1 absolutely delivers. The ankle support stands out in particular, providing a secure, confident feel without being restrictive. The fit is true to size (I’m a women’s 9), and the shoe feels lightweight rather than clunky or stiff. My pace hasn’t been affected at all—I’m still comfortably hitting faster efforts in these. Overall, this is a versatile, well-designed daily trainer. I plan to continue training in them and fully expect to take them all the way through a marathon.
