FAQs

Are the New Balance 520v9 suitable for trail running?

These shoes are specifically engineered for road running surfaces, offering optimal cushioning and traction on asphalt, concrete, and tracks. They are not recommended for technical trail running, which requires more aggressive grip and foot protection.

How should I clean my New Balance 520v9 running shoes?

To clean your shoes, gently wipe the engineered mesh and rubber sole with a cloth dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

What is Fresh Foam technology?

Fresh Foam is a proprietary cushioning technology from New Balance that provides an ultra-cushioned and lightweight ride. It is designed to deliver a plush, smooth, and responsive experience, helping to absorb impact during your runs.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

The lifespan of running shoes varies based on mileage, your running style, and body weight. Generally, it's recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480 to 800 kilometers) or every 6 to 12 months, as cushioning and support degrade over time.

Can I use these shoes for general walking or gym workouts?

Yes, while primarily designed for road running, the comfortable cushioning and supportive fit of the New Balance 520v9 make them suitable for general walking, casual wear, and light gym activities. However, for specialized gym workouts like heavy lifting, dedicated training shoes might be more appropriate.

Do New Balance 520v9 shoes run true to size?

New Balance running shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape and personal preference can vary. We recommend consulting a size chart and, if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs

Ensure the shoes are properly laced – not too tight or too loose. Check that you have the correct size, allowing adequate toe room. Consider wearing different running socks to address friction points.

Shoes feel less grippy than expected on wet surfaces

While designed for road traction, extreme wet or icy conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the textured tread is clean and free of debris. Adjust your running form to take shorter, more controlled strides in slick conditions.

Unpleasant odor developing in shoes

After each run, remove insoles (if removable) and allow the shoes to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. You can use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda packets to absorb moisture and odor.

Upper mesh shows signs of wear or tearing prematurely

Verify that the shoe size is correct, as too small a shoe can cause stress on the upper. Avoid activities that involve excessive rubbing or scraping of the mesh against abrasive surfaces. Clean regularly to prevent material degradation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent lightweight cushioning for a smooth ride
  • Enhanced comfort from padded tongue and collar
  • Reliable traction on varied road surfaces
  • Breathable engineered mesh upper keeps feet comfortable
  • Durable rubber sole for long-lasting use
  • Versatile for various running activities, from speedwork to jogs

Cons

  • Primarily designed for road use; less optimal for off-road or trail running
  • Not explicitly waterproof (common for running shoes)
  • Requires proper care and cleaning to maintain performance and appearance
  • Info needed: Specific expected lifespan for replacement

For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct size, allowing a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Properly lace your shoes to achieve a secure, yet comfortable fit that doesn't restrict circulation. The New Balance 520v9 is primarily compatible with road surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, and track. While they offer good grip, extreme wet conditions or uneven trails may not offer the same level of performance or protection. To care for your shoes, always refer to the product label for specific instructions. Generally, spot clean the engineered mesh upper and rubber sole with a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Regular cleaning helps maintain breathability and traction.
