FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 520 is designed as a versatile trainer, perfect for light cardio and gym activities, but it may not offer the advanced motion control needed for professional distance running.
How should I clean the breathable upper?
Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid submerging the shoe in water.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the standard insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics for better support.
Are the sizes true to fit?
New Balance typically runs consistent with standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can affect the fit.
What surfaces is the outsole designed for?
The rubber outsole is designed for general gym flooring, asphalt, and pavement, providing reliable traction on these common surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or replace with slightly shorter laces if the current ones are too long.
Visible dirt on grey fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft brush to gently lift stains without saturating the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by adjusting the lace closure to secure your midfoot without restricting circulation. These trainers are standard UK sizes; if you plan to wear thick performance socks, ensure you check your fit accordingly. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush, and clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
