FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The New Balance 520 v9 trainers are primarily designed for hard surfaces like roads and treadmills. While they may offer some grip on light trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protective features needed for technical trail running.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The approximate weight of the New Balance 520 v9 trainer is 271.7 grams for a size 43 EU.

Can I wear these shoes if I have flat feet?

These shoes are designed for neutral or supinated foot types. Runners with flat feet often require more arch support; it's advisable to consult with a running specialist to determine if these shoes meet your specific needs.

How do I know if the Fresh Foam is still effective?

You'll generally feel a reduction in the responsive cushioning and impact absorption. If your runs feel harder on your joints or less comfortable than before, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.

What is the primary benefit of the mesh upper?

The mesh upper provides excellent breathability, keeping your feet cool and comfortable during runs, and offers a snug, adaptive fit to the foot.

Are there other color options available for the 520 v9 series?

The 520 v9 series may be available in various colorways depending on the retailer and season. Please check with your local New Balance retailer or the brand's official website for current options.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

Fresh Foam is designed for durability, but like all cushioning, it will wear down. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or if you notice a distinct loss of comfort and support.

Mesh upper feels restrictive

Ensure the laces are tied appropriately for your foot shape and preference. The mesh is designed to be breathable and form-fitting; if it feels too tight, check for a potential size issue or lace tension.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for hard surfaces, but traction may be reduced on very wet or slick conditions. Exercise caution in such environments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Highly breathable upper keeps feet cool.
  • Durable outsole offers good traction and longevity.
  • Lightweight construction reduces running fatigue.
  • Suitable for runners with neutral or supinated gaits.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient support for overpronators.
  • Limited availability in specific colorways or sizes (check retailer).
  • Primarily designed for hard surfaces, may perform differently on trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These running shoes require no specific setup. They are designed for direct use upon purchase. Their primary compatibility is with hard running surfaces like roads, sidewalks, and treadmills.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures.
