FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 509 Reflection trainers are designed with Abzorb cushioning, making them suitable for everyday city use and longer runs, but they are primarily casual trainers rather than specialized running shoes.

How do I determine my size in a unisex fit?

Typically, men's sizing applies, or you may need to size down if you are female, depending on the specific shoe and your preference. Refer to New Balance's official size guide for conversions.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner or eraser can be used cautiously. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the synthetic upper offers some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.

What is Abzorb technology?

Abzorb is a New Balance technology found in the midsole that provides shock absorption and cushioning by combining specific foam compounds that resist compression.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The trainers have a standard midsole design with Abzorb cushioning. For individuals requiring significant arch support, aftermarket insoles may be beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Unusual noise during walking

Check for any small objects stuck in the outsole tread. Ensure laces are not excessively loose or tight.

Slightly loose fit

Tighten the laces, focusing on the eyelets closest to the ankle. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger feel.

Discomfort on long walks

Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional arch support or cushioning.

Material scuffing or marking

Use a suede eraser for light marks on suede areas. For synthetic parts, a damp cloth can help clean minor scuffs. Protect from excessive abrasion.
