FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?
It is generally recommended to hand-clean your New Balance trainers to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning; machine washing can cause damage to the structural components.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The New Balance 520 standard model is designed with a versatile fit, but availability of specific width sizes depends on the specific retailer and stock levels.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for orthotics or fresh inserts if needed.
Are the New Balance 520s good for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear rather than high-performance sports like competitive running or basketball.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling and growth.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied too frequently
Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with textured athletic-grade laces for more friction.
Stubborn stains on the fabric
Apply a mild fabric-safe cleaner with a soft-bristled brush, working in circular motions, then wipe away with a clean, damp cloth.
Odour buildup from daily wear
Remove the insoles to air out separately and sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 520 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the surface after use.
- Spot Treatment: For minor stains, gently clean the polyester areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep the trainers away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or heaters, as this can degrade the cushioning and damage the fabric.
- Fit Check: Periodically re-tie the laces to ensure the midfoot remains supported as the child's foot grows.
