FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The 520v9 provides neutral support and consistent cushioning, which many runners find helpful, though those with specific orthotic needs should consult a professional.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, these are optimized for road running. Technical trails may require a shoe with a more aggressive tread pattern.
How often should I replace them?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual gait.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the Fresh Foam midsole. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Do these come in different widths?
The New Balance 520 series occasionally offers width variants. Check the specific MPN or product label to ensure you have the correct width for your foot.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability during turns
Check that the laces are tightened evenly through all eyelets to secure the midfoot.
Visible dirt accumulation on the white accents
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without harming the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 520v9 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the size is appropriate for your specific arch type and foot width; the engineered mesh will provide some flex, but the structure is designed to hold your foot securely.
- Routine Maintenance: After running, loosen the laces to allow the interior moisture to evaporate from the mesh lining.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge the shoes in a washing machine. Clean the exterior by wiping with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
- Storage: Store in a well-ventilated area to prevent odor buildup and preserve the integrity of the Fresh Foam midsole.
