FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 509 trainers are primarily designed for retro style and casual comfort. While they offer good cushioning for everyday wear and light activity, they are not specialized for high-performance marathon running. For serious runners, dedicated running shoes with advanced technology would be more appropriate.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic materials.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
Gently clean mesh areas with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a very mild soap solution can be applied sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel, helping to reduce impact during wear.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
These trainers offer some protection against light moisture due to their materials, but they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
What size should I order if I'm usually a UK 5.5?
Based on the available variants, a UK 5.5 is listed. If you are between sizes or prefer more room, you might consider the larger size, but it's always best to consult the brand's specific sizing chart or try them on if possible.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The 509 trainers feature ABZORB cushioning which offers good underfoot comfort and shock absorption. For specific arch support needs, an assessment of your foot type and potentially adding custom insoles might be beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are evenly distributed. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the break-in period is needed.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check if the sole is wet.
Traction feels poor
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. If the shoes are heavily worn, the tread may be diminished, and replacement might be considered.
Discoloration on white areas
Clean promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, specialized shoe cleaners for white materials may be used cautiously.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general wear and are compatible with casual attire. They are suitable for a wide range of foot shapes, but if you have particularly wide or narrow feet, consider trying them on before purchasing or checking New Balance's sizing guides.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 509 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic areas. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
