FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance marathon running?
While the Fresh Foam 520 v9 provides excellent comfort for casual and moderate-distance running, they are primarily designed as versatile trainers rather than specialized high-mileage marathon shoes.
Can I use these for lifting weights in the gym?
Yes, the flat heel design offers sufficient stability for general gym use and light-to-moderate lifting.
Is the mesh upper waterproof?
No, the upper is constructed for breathability, meaning it will likely allow moisture to pass through in wet conditions.
How do I determine if 6.5 UK is the right size?
We recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day when it is at its largest and ensuring there is a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the foam and the fabric; please hand-clean only.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during exercise
Adjust the lace tightness and consider using a 'runner's loop' at the top eyelet to secure the heel.
Midsole feels less cushioned over time
Foam compression is normal after extensive mileage; if comfort significantly degrades, it may be time to rotate them for a fresh pair.
Mesh becoming stained or dirty
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift debris from the mesh pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, tighten the laces until you feel a secure fit across the midfoot without restricting circulation. These trainers are compatible with standard running socks. For care, keep the mesh upper clean by wiping away dust with a dry brush after workouts. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a mild soap and a soft cloth to spot-clean the surface. Avoid submerging them in a washing machine or tumble drying them, as intense heat can damage the foam midsole and adhesives. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
