Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 509 Reflection trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of 1980s retro aesthetics and modern comfort for everyday urban wear and longer runs. Their key benefit lies in the ABZORB cushioning, which provides responsive shock absorption for soft landings. A potential consideration is their unisex fit, which may require attention to sizing for optimal comfort. These trainers feature a breathable synthetic upper, lightweight construction, and a durable, grippy outsole, embodying a minimalist retro-inspired silhouette.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance 509 Reflection trainers are designed primarily for everyday urban wear and light jogging due to their retro construction. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes with advanced features would be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct size in these unisex trainers?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart provided with the product listing. Typically, men should order their standard size, while women may need to size down by one or 1.5 sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot for accuracy.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material. Hand washing with specific cleaners for suede and synthetic materials is the preferred method.

What is the main benefit of the ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB cushioning is designed to absorb shock through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing a soft and responsive feel that helps reduce impact on your feet and joints.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of breathable synthetic material with suede accents, offering a balance of ventilation and a premium look.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is designed with a textured grip, intended for durability and reliable traction on common urban surfaces.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The synthetic and suede materials offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not suitable for wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the New Balance sizing chart. Consider wearing thinner socks if the fit is slightly snug.

Discomfort during long wear

Verify the shoe size is correct. The ABZORB cushioning should provide comfort, but prolonged activity on very hard surfaces can still cause fatigue. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot arch.

Suede appearance dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be hindering grip.

Care:
