FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they are designed as trainers for light to moderate running and daily training sessions.
How do I determine if UK 5 is the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while standing.
Can I wear these for weightlifting?
While comfortable, the soft Fresh Foam midsole may be less stable than a dedicated flat-soled lifting shoe.
Is the mesh upper waterproof?
No, the mesh is designed for breathability, meaning it is porous and will allow water to pass through.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running trainers every 300-500 miles, depending on the surface and intensity of use.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or stains on the white mesh
Gently clean the affected area with a soft-bristled brush, water, and a drop of mild detergent, then air dry away from heat sources.
Foot feels slightly loose or slipping
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly using the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your New Balance 520 v9s is simple: ensure your feet are properly measured to the UK 5 size for an optimal fit, as the mesh upper is designed to hug the foot. To maintain their appearance, especially with the white mesh, it is recommended to spot-clean with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid putting these trainers through a washing machine as this can compromise the structure of the foam and adhesives. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from yellowing over time.
