FAQs

What type of running are these shoes best suited for?

The New Balance 520v9 trainers are best suited for road running due to their cushioning and tread design. They are also suitable for general fitness activities and comfortable for everyday wear.

How do I clean my 520v9 trainers?

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Are these shoes good for marathon training?

Yes, the lightweight cushioning and comfort provided by the Fresh Foam midsole make them a suitable option for marathon training, especially for runners who prefer a lighter feel.

What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam midsole?

The Fresh Foam midsole is designed to provide a soft, lightweight, and responsive cushioning experience, enhancing comfort and reducing impact during runs.

Can I wear these shoes for trail running?

These shoes are optimized for road surfaces. While they offer good traction, they may not provide the necessary protection or grip for technical trail running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The fit should be snug but not constricting, with no heel slippage.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, frequency, and surface. Generally, running shoes like the 520v9 are recommended to be replaced after 300-500 miles of running.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check sock type and thickness.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The Fresh Foam midsole may compress over time with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).

Poor traction on surfaces

Inspect the tread for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole to ensure optimal grip. Note that performance may vary on non-road surfaces.

Upper material feels tight

The engineered mesh is designed to be snug. Wear with appropriate socks and allow for a short break-in period. If persistent, consider a half-size up if available.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design for improved speed and reduced fatigue.
  • Excellent cushioning for comfort during extended runs.
  • Breathable upper material keeps feet cool.
  • Good traction for road surfaces.
  • Versatile for both training and casual wear.

Cons

  • May not offer sufficient support for trail running.
  • Durability on varied terrains might be a concern for some users.
  • The aesthetic might be too sporty for casual non-athletic wear for some.
  • Primarily designed for neutral pronation; may not suit all foot types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The New Balance 520v9 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most athletic socks.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your 520v9 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
