FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While they offer great comfort, they are designed primarily for daily wear and light athletic activity rather than long-distance marathons.

How should I clean my New Balance 520 v9 trainers?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not submerge in water or place in a washing machine.

Are these true to size?

Yes, they follow standard New Balance sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, you may want to ensure your measurements align with the UK 9.5 specification.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

The breathable upper material is not waterproof; it is designed for airflow, so it may absorb moisture in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort or pressure points after initial use

Adjust the lacing tension. The secure fit is beneficial, but overtightening can restrict circulation.

Outsole losing traction

Check the tread for debris or buildup. Clean the rubber surface with a damp brush to restore grip.

Upper fabric looking dull or dusty

Use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains, use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of soap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent all-day comfort due to the cushioned midsole
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool during use
  • Durable outsole provides reliable grip and stability
  • Versatile design that fits various casual and athletic scenarios

Cons

  • Not intended for technical or long-distance competitive running
  • Single-color aesthetic may not appeal to those looking for high-visibility options
  • Requires proper maintenance to keep the breathable fabric clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your trainers, ensure you have selected the correct UK 9.5 size for your foot measurements. When putting on the shoes, loosen the laces completely before inserting your foot to prevent damaging the heel counter. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. If the shoes become heavily soiled, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the foam cushioning and adhesive materials over time. Always allow them to air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
