Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your New Balance 520 V9 trainers, start by adjusting the laces while wearing athletic socks to find the ideal tension. Avoid overtightening the laces, as this can compress the foam in the padded tongue.
For cleaning, remove loose dirt by gently brushing the upper with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become soiled, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the trainers. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the cushioning material.
