FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the New Balance 520v9 shoes are designed with comfort and versatility in mind, making them suitable for both athletic activities and casual, all-day wear.

How do I clean my New Balance 520v9 shoes?

For best results, always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label. Generally, you can spot clean them with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely.

What is Fresh Foam technology?

Fresh Foam is a proprietary New Balance midsole technology that provides lightweight, ultra-cushioned comfort, delivering a smooth and responsive ride during your activities.

Are these shoes good for long-distance running?

Yes, with their Fresh Foam cushioning and comfortable design, the 520v9 are built to handle both long runs and leisurely jogs effectively.

What type of terrain are these shoes best for?

These are primarily road running shoes, offering reliable traction on paved roads, sidewalks, and varied surfaces like country lanes. They are not intended for extreme off-road or technical trail conditions.

Is the upper breathable?

Yes, the New Balance 520v9 features a breathable engineered mesh upper designed to promote optimal airflow, keeping your feet cool and comfortable even during extended wear.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs.

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. Verify you have the correct size; New Balance recommends professional fitting. Consider wearing appropriate running socks to prevent friction.

Shoes feel less cushioned over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which cushioning can degrade. If the shoes have significant mileage, it might be time for a replacement. Ensure they are allowed to air dry completely after each use to maintain material integrity.

Slipping on wet or slightly uneven surfaces.

While the textured grip tread provides traction on varied surfaces, no shoe can prevent all slips. Exercise caution on extremely wet, icy, or very uneven terrain. Regularly check the outsole for excessive wear which can reduce grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Your New Balance 520v9 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unlace them, slip your foot in, and lace them up to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to prevent discomfort or restricted circulation.

Compatibility:

These shoes are highly versatile and compatible with a wide array of activities:

  • Running: Ideal for road running, track work, and light trail use (country lanes).
  • Walking: Excellent for daily walks, fitness walking, and extended periods on your feet.
  • Gym & Training: Suitable for cross-training, treadmill use, and general fitness classes.
  • Casual Wear: Their comfortable design and modern aesthetic make them perfect for everyday casual use.

Care:

To ensure the longevity and performance of your New Balance 520v9 shoes, proper care is essential. Always refer to the product label inside the shoe for the most accurate and specific care instructions. Generally, for textile and synthetic running shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean any dirt or stains with a soft cloth or brush, mild soap (like dish soap), and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture after use.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is generally not recommended as it can compromise the shoe's structure and materials.
