Full details

The New Balance 509 Reflection trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro 1980s style and modern comfort for everyday wear and longer city runs. Their key benefit lies in the ABZORB cushioning, providing soft, responsive landings. A potential caveat for some users might be the unisex sizing, which may require careful attention for the perfect fit.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for professional athletic training?

The New Balance 509 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light to moderate running. For high-impact sports or professional training, consider specialized athletic footwear that offers advanced support and cushioning tailored to specific activities.

How do I choose the right size in unisex footwear?

It is recommended to consult the New Balance size guide. Typically, women may need to size down by 1.5 to 2 full sizes from their usual women's size to find the equivalent men's size. Measuring your foot length in centimeters or inches is the most accurate method.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for trainers with suede components, as it can damage the material and the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning as described in the care instructions is the preferred method.

What is the main benefit of ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB cushioning is designed to absorb impact forces, providing a soft feel and returning energy efficiently. This helps to reduce stress on your feet and joints during walking and running.

How durable are the synthetic uppers?

The synthetic upper construction is designed for daily use, offering a balance of lightweight comfort and durability for everyday wear and moderate activity.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the suede material and comfort.

What does the 'Reflection' in the name refer to?

The 'Reflection' aspect likely refers to the 1980s retro styling, reflecting on and reviving popular design elements from that era.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels inaccurate

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot circumference. As they are unisex, consider if you need to adjust for men's or women's sizing conventions.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic footwear.

Suede material scuffs easily

Use a suede eraser for minor scuffs. Apply a suede protector spray to help prevent future marks and stains. Store them in a dust bag when not in use.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

While the grip tread is designed for urban surfaces, all footwear can have reduced traction on very wet or slippery conditions. Exercise caution in such environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The New Balance 509 trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are suitable for walking, everyday wear, and light to moderate running.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Suede: For suede uppers, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by air drying away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembly or storage.
