FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running styles, the New Balance 509 Trainers are primarily designed for comfortable, everyday wear and casual activities. They may not provide the specific support and cushioning required for intense or performance-based running.
How do I clean the leather on these trainers?
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and apply it with a clean cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of these trainers is made of leather, providing a classic look and durable construction.
Can I wear these trainers with athletic socks?
Yes, you can wear them with athletic socks, but they also pair well with casual socks for everyday use.
What does 'supportive midsole cushioning' mean?
This refers to the cushioning technology within the sole of the shoe designed to absorb shock and provide a stable, comfortable base for your feet during walking and standing.
Is the sizing for men and women the same?
These are unisex trainers, meaning they are designed to fit both men and women. It is recommended to check the size guide for accurate conversion, particularly for UK sizing.
How should I store my New Balance 509 Trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. A shoe bag can offer additional protection.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the tongue and laces, or the insole rubbing. Try adjusting the lacing, or removing and reinserting the insole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a good quality leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
