Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 520 shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you have checked your size against the UK sizing standard. The lace-up design should be snug but not restrictive to maintain healthy blood flow.
- Break-in: If the shoes feel stiff initially, wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the materials to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or heaters, which can cause the materials to warp.
