FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the 520v9 is specifically designed as a road running shoe and lacks the reinforced protection needed for technical trail terrain.
How do I determine if these fit correctly?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal liners are generally removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
What is the primary material used for the sole?
The sole is constructed from high-quality, durable rubber designed for traction on road surfaces.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes are recommended to be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness in the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser through the mid-eyelets to accommodate different foot volumes.
Visible dirt or debris in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge particles from the knit pattern after the shoe has dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 520v9 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your specific foot dimensions; the engineered mesh will provide a snug, adaptive fit over time.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine. Gently brush off dry mud or debris after use, and spot clean the mesh upper with a mild detergent and a damp cloth if needed.
- Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber outsole and fade the colour.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam cushioning to fully decompress between sessions.
