FAQs

Who is the ideal user for the New Balance 520 v9 trainers?

The ideal user is an adult male runner with a neutral or supinated foot type who primarily runs on hard surfaces like roads and pavements.

What is Fresh Foam technology?

Fresh Foam is a lightweight cushioning foam used in the midsole. It is designed to provide softness and adequate joint protection during long-term training by resisting deformation.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, these trainers are designed for hard surfaces. Their outsole pattern is optimized for abrasion resistance on roads and may not provide sufficient grip for trail running.

How should I clean my trainers?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and always air dry them at room temperature.

What is the weight of these shoes?

The weight is approximately 271.7 g for a size 43 EU.

Can women wear these trainers?

While these are marketed as men's trainers, women can wear them if the size and fit are appropriate for their feet. Ensure you select the correct UK size.

What kind of support do these shoes offer?

They offer neutral support, making them suitable for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (pronation) or outward (supination).

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If they are new, they may require a short break-in period. Consider if lacing technique can be adjusted for more volume.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Fresh Foam cushioning is designed for durability, but like all foams, it will compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 500-800 km of running, depending on usage and impact.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

These shoes are designed for hard, dry surfaces. For improved grip in wet conditions or on trails, consider a shoe with a more aggressive tread pattern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool during activity.
  • Durable outsole provides good wear resistance.
  • Lightweight design enhances running efficiency.
  • Suitable for road running and everyday training.

Cons

  • May lack sufficient grip for off-road or trail running.
  • Primarily designed for neutral or supinated foot types.
  • Limited features for highly specialized running disciplines.
  • Breathable mesh may offer less protection in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a proper fit.

Care Instructions:

  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
  2. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat or place them in a dryer.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Compatibility is with the runner's foot type (neutral/supinated) and preferred running surface (hard surfaces).
