FAQs
Is the New Balance 520 v9 suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the Fresh Foam cushioning is designed to provide comfort over extended periods, making it suitable for moderate to long-distance road running.
Does this shoe provide stability for gym use?
It is a versatile trainer that offers good stability for general gym exercises and cardio, though it is primarily designed as a running shoe.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
We recommend hand cleaning only. Machine washing may damage the structural integrity of the foam and the mesh upper.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight, breathable polyester mesh designed for maximum airflow.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance typically runs consistent with standard sizing, but it is always recommended to use a verified size chart based on your UK foot measurement.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the laces are not overtightened; the Fresh Foam midsole should do the work, so prioritize a snug but non-restrictive fit.
Mesh becoming dirty or stained
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to spot clean the mesh. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners as they can discolor the polyester fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fresh Foam 520 v9 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter sessions initially to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the mesh upper using a mild detergent and a soft brush; avoid submerging in a washing machine, which can degrade the adhesive and foam properties.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the midsole foam from warping or becoming brittle.
- Compatibility: These are standard trainers compatible with most standard orthotic insoles if you require specific arch support adjustments.
