FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, the New Balance 520 v9 trainers are designed for hard surfaces like roads and are not recommended for trail running, which requires different tread and support.

What type of runner is this shoe best for?

These shoes are ideal for female runners with a neutral or supinated foot strike who run on hard surfaces.

How much do the shoes weigh?

The shoes weigh approximately 271.7 grams.

How should I clean my 520 v9 trainers?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.

What is Fresh Foam technology?

Fresh Foam is a lightweight cushioning foam developed by New Balance that offers a balance of softness and durability, providing comfort and joint protection.

Can I use these shoes for high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?

While they offer good cushioning, they are optimized for running. For HIIT workouts with multi-directional movements, a shoe with more lateral stability might be more suitable.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

For optimal performance and cushioning, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when wear and tear become noticeable.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and that the laces are tied appropriately to secure the foot without excessive tightness. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

While Fresh Foam is durable, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for dry conditions. For wet surfaces, exercise caution as grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
