FAQs
Is the Fresh Foam 520 v9 suitable for long-distance running?
This model is best suited for light training, walking, and casual activities. For dedicated, high-mileage marathon training, you may prefer a more specialized performance shoe.
How do I determine if I have the right fit?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to ensure proper comfort during movement.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam and mesh integrity.
What does the 10 mm drop signify?
The drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot, providing a balanced, traditional running shoe profile.
Are these shoes available in different widths?
The availability depends on the specific variant and region. Please check the specific product listing for width options.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or mud on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Feeling of dampness after wet conditions
Remove the insole and stuff the shoe with newspaper or a dry cloth to draw out moisture; let it dry in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fresh Foam 520 v9 trainers remain in peak condition, follow these recommendations:
- Sizing: These shoes fit standard adult sizing. Always ensure your foot is measured while wearing the socks you intend to use with the trainers.
- Break-in: While they offer instant comfort, a short initial wear session of 30-60 minutes is recommended to allow the upper to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal cushioning. Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
