FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, the Fresh Foam cushioning is designed to provide comfort and impact protection, making them suitable for long-distance training.

Can I use these for weightlifting?

While primarily a running trainer, the stable platform makes them acceptable for light lifting; however, they lack the rigid construction of dedicated lifting footwear.

How do I know if the size is correct?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the standard inserts can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.

Is the 520 v9 waterproof?

No, the shoes are designed for breathability using mesh, which will allow water to penetrate if running in heavy rain.

How often should I replace these trainers?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels loose inside the shoe

Adjust the lace tightness or try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to secure the ankle.

Excessive moisture buildup inside the shoe

Switch to technical moisture-wicking socks and ensure the shoes are allowed to air out completely between sessions.

Outsole loses grip on gym floors

Clean the soles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that may cause slipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during long sessions
  • Fresh Foam technology offers excellent impact absorption
  • Highly breathable materials prevent overheating
  • Versatile design suitable for both running and gym activities

Cons

  • Flat heel profile may lack support for specific pronation needs
  • Not intended for technical trail running surfaces
  • Limited to specific colorway options for certain sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your New Balance 520 v9, always ensure the lacing is tightened evenly across the midfoot to prevent slippage without restricting circulation. These trainers are standard fit, but it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking athletic socks to maximize the benefits of the breathable mesh upper. For maintenance, remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials over time. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
