Product Information

Full details

These New Balance 520 v9 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking lightweight cushioning and breathability, particularly for hard surfaces and neutral or supinated foot types. The key benefit is the Fresh Foam midsole offering superior shock absorption for long-term training comfort. A potential consideration is that the specific UK size 11 might not suit all foot widths.

FAQs

What type of runner is the New Balance 520 v9 best suited for?

These trainers are ideal for adult male runners with a neutral or supinated foot posture who primarily run on hard surfaces. They offer excellent cushioning for long-term training.

What is Fresh Foam technology?

Fresh Foam is a lightweight cushioning foam used in the midsole. It offers high resistance to deformation, providing both softness and adequate joint protection during runs.

How do I clean my 520 v9 trainers?

Spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the weight of these trainers?

The weight is approximately 271.7 grams for a size 43 EU.

Can these shoes be used for trail running?

The 520 v9 is designed for hard surfaces. While they may offer some grip, they are not optimized for trail running and may lack the necessary traction and protection for uneven terrain.

Is this shoe suitable for runners who pronate excessively?

No, these shoes are designed for neutral or supinated foot types. Runners who excessively pronate may require a stability shoe.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made entirely of lightweight and breathable mesh to enhance comfort and foot grip.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or exploring models with a wider fit option.

Feet feel warm during runs

The mesh upper is designed for breathability. If excessive heat is an issue, ensure socks are moisture-wicking. For extreme heat, consider the conditions or a shoe with even greater ventilation.

Reduced cushioning over time

Fresh Foam offers long-term resistance to deformation, but like all cushioning, it will gradually wear. If cushioning feels significantly diminished after extensive use, it may be time to consider replacement.

Sole shows signs of wear

The outsole is designed for abrasion resistance. If excessive wear is observed prematurely, check your running form and ensure you are not scuffing your feet excessively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning thanks to Fresh Foam technology.
  • Breathable upper enhances comfort during workouts.
  • Durable outsole offers good longevity.
  • Lightweight design reduces leg fatigue.
  • Suitable for neutral and supinated foot types.

Cons

  • May not be ideal for runners needing significant stability support.
  • The UK size 11 specific fit might not accommodate all foot widths.
  • Primarily designed for hard surfaces, may offer less grip on trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To care for your 520 v9 trainers, it is recommended to spot clean them with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and construction. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
