FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the Fresh Foam cushioning and the shoe structure. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
These trainers are better suited for casual wear, walking, and light gym workouts rather than long-distance endurance running.
Is the Fresh Foam 520 v9 a unisex model?
Yes, this model is designed to be versatile for all adults, though specific size availability may vary by region.
How do I maintain the traction of the outsole?
Periodically clean the grooves of the rubber outsole to remove small rocks or mud that can reduce grip.
Can I replace the factory insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional support.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the colors to fade and the materials to stiffen.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too tight around the midfoot.
Loosen the lacing system starting from the eyelets closest to your toes to allow for more volume.
Mesh upper is showing signs of dust accumulation.
Gently vacuum the surface using a soft brush attachment or use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fresh Foam 520 v9 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the laces to accommodate your natural foot arch. Ensure the heel is seated firmly in the back of the shoe.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole. For the mesh upper, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators or inside a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can warp the materials.
