FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Fresh Foam cushioning is designed for endurance, though individual comfort preferences vary for long-distance events.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily for road running, the stable rubber sole makes them acceptable for light gym use, such as treadmill workouts.
How often should I replace my 520 v9 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Are these waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, not water resistance.
Is the 520 v9 true to size?
Yes, New Balance trainers are typically true to standard UK sizes, but it is always recommended to try them on with your preferred running socks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during activity; try loosening the laces slightly mid-run or ensure your sock thickness is appropriate.
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before using a damp cloth; avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the mesh.
Reduced traction on wet pavement
Ensure the tread is free of trapped pebbles or debris that might interfere with grip; if the outsole is worn smooth, it may be time for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that allows for slight foot swelling during exercise. When cleaning, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the foam integrity; instead, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to gently wipe away dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. To maintain the structural shape of the upper, consider using cedar shoe trees when the trainers are not in use.
