FAQs
Is the New Balance 520v9 good for long-distance running?
It is well-suited for daily runs and moderate distances. The Fresh Foam cushioning provides the comfort necessary for longer training sessions.
Can I use these shoes for gym training?
Yes, their versatile design and stable base make them suitable for a variety of gym activities and functional training.
How should I clean the mesh upper without damaging it?
Gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then rinse with a damp cloth. Never submerge the shoes completely.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The 520v9 is designed for a neutral foot strike and provides standard support, but you may add orthotic insoles if you require specific arch correction.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are designed with breathable mesh for maximum airflow and will allow water to pass through if you step in puddles.
Can I remove the insole to use my own inserts?
Yes, the insoles in the 520v9 are removable, allowing you to easily insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically to lock in the midfoot and check that your foot is centered on the insole.
Accumulated dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dried mud, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.
Unpleasant odors after heavy use
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and place the shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area after each workout.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the 520v9 is designed to have a natural, adaptive fit. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the foam midsole and the adhesive integrity. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush, mild detergent, and lukewarm water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the mesh from becoming brittle. Regularly check the rubber pods on the outsole and remove any small pebbles or debris that may get trapped in the grooves.
