FAQs

What type of runner is the New Balance 520 v9 best suited for?

These trainers are best suited for male runners with a neutral or supinated foot type who primarily run on hard surfaces like roads. They offer a good balance of cushioning and support for daily training and versatile wear.

How does the Fresh Foam technology benefit my run?

Fresh Foam is a lightweight cushioning foam that provides a soft feel and excellent shock absorption, reducing stress on your joints during long runs and high-impact activities.

Can these shoes be used for activities other than running?

Yes, their versatile design and comfortable cushioning make them suitable for gym workouts, cross-training, and everyday casual wear.

How should I clean my 520 v9 trainers?

It is recommended to spot clean the trainers with a mild detergent and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

What does the '2E' in the sizing refer to?

The '2E' indicates a wide fit, providing more room in the shoe for individuals with wider feet. This is designed to enhance comfort and reduce pressure points.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The 520 v9 trainers are primarily designed for hard surfaces. While they may offer some grip on light trails, they are not optimized for technical off-road terrain where more aggressive tread patterns are typically required.

What is the weight of these trainers?

The approximate weight is 271.7 grams for a size 43 EU.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width (e.g., 2E Wide Fit if needed). The shoes may also require a short break-in period.

Reduced cushioning after extended use

The Fresh Foam midsole may lose some of its original responsiveness over time with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if cushioning significantly degrades.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for hard surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or slippery conditions, as grip may be reduced compared to specialized wet-weather shoes.

Feet feel warm during runs

While the mesh is breathable, in very hot conditions, some warmth is to be expected. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. If persistent, consider socks with higher ventilation.
