FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 520 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer. They are great for general activity, but not for specialized athletic running.

Can the insoles be removed?

The insoles are generally fitted for the shoe's support structure, but can typically be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.

How do I determine the right size?

The model uses standard UK children's sizing. It is recommended to leave about a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these trainers are made from breathable materials and are not waterproof or water-resistant.

Is this model unisex?

While some colorways are gender-specific, the 520 series design is largely versatile and suitable for any child depending on individual size requirements.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces to ensure a more secure hold for active play.

Shoes feel tight after a long day

Loosen the lacing pattern at the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling that occurs during the day.

Material shows surface dust

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris from the upper fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 520 Trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug but comfortable fit across the midfoot. Do not overtighten, as this may restrict circulation.
  2. Cleaning: Spot clean the upper with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the cushioning and avoid color fading from prolonged sun exposure.
