FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The 520 is best suited for daily training, walking, and casual runs; for long-distance marathon racing, you might prefer more specialized performance series.
Can I remove the insoles to use my own orthotics?
Yes, the New Balance 520 features removable insoles specifically designed to accommodate custom orthotics.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
How should I clean the Fresh Foam midsole?
Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe in water as it can affect the cushioning materials.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, New Balance trainers generally follow standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can affect fit.
Troubleshooting
Insole sliding or bunching up during use
Ensure the insole is seated correctly in the heel cup; if it continues, consider replacing with a fresh adhesive-backed or thicker replacement insole.
Mesh becoming stained or dirty
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of laundry detergent to gently dab the stained area, then pat dry with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your New Balance 520 trainers is straightforward. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure but non-restrictive fit across the midfoot. If you utilize custom orthotics, simply lift the existing foam liner out of the shoe and replace it with your specific insert. To maintain the integrity of the mesh upper, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the foam midsole from warping or the adhesives from degrading.
