FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 520 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for walking and everyday wear, rather than for long-distance running or high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I know my correct size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing for adult women. If you are between sizes, we recommend trying the larger size for extra comfort, especially if you wear thicker socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the Fresh Foam midsole and the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is preferred.
Do these provide arch support?
The Fresh Foam midsole provides excellent general cushioning and support, which many find comfortable for typical daily activities.
Is the material waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. We advise avoiding wear in heavy rain to prevent moisture from saturating the materials.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles in the New Balance 520 are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to allow for more volume throughout the vamp of the shoe.
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure the laces are securely tightened and consider using a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to better secure the ankle.
Visible dirt on the pink fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mixture of gentle dish soap and water with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your New Balance 520 trainers, ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot shape, as these are tailored for an adult female fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the upper.
- Stains: Gently dab stained areas with a cloth dampened with mild soap and water; avoid soaking the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
