FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 509 trainers are designed for everyday urban wear and light, casual running. They feature ABZorb cushioning for shock absorption, but are not engineered for intense training or long-distance running compared to specialized running shoes.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

What does ABZorb technology do?

ABZorb is a proprietary New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It absorbs impact forces, providing a soft feel and helping to reduce strain on your feet.

Can I wear these trainers with socks?

Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks for optimal comfort and hygiene.

What is the primary benefit of the breathable upper?

The breathable upper allows air to circulate, which helps to keep your feet cool and dry, preventing overheating and discomfort during wear.

Is the fit true to size?

Generally, New Balance trainers offer a standard fit. However, individual foot shapes can vary. It is recommended to consult the size guide and consider trying them on if possible.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase duration to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.

Suede material scuffing or staining

Use a suede eraser for minor scuffs. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, then brush gently.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The ABZorb cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness may decrease with very heavy use. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help prolong its life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied to your preferred level of snugness for a secure fit.

Compatibility:

The New Balance 509 trainers are designed for general wear and light athletic activities. They are compatible with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. While they feature cushioning suitable for some running, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the suede and synthetic upper with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
