FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for high-arch support?

The New Balance 520 is a neutral trainer, but the removable insoles make them highly compatible with specialized orthotic supports if you require specific arch correction.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, it is recommended to hand clean them to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and the responsive foam cushioning.

Are they water-resistant?

The engineered mesh is designed for breathability rather than water resistance; they may allow water to seep in during heavy rain.

How heavy are the shoes?

These trainers weigh approximately 271.7 grams per shoe, classifying them as a lightweight running option.

Do these run true to size?

Most users find the 520 series to be consistent with standard New Balance sizing, though individual foot width can vary the fit.

What surface are these best for?

They are designed primarily for road running and general fitness activities on paved or synthetic surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Insole feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the insole is seated flat against the heel counter or consider replacing it with a thinner aftermarket liner.

Excessive dirt buildup on mesh

Gently scrub the affected areas with a soft-bristled brush dipped in a solution of water and mild detergent, then blot dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning due to Fresh Foam technology
  • Highly breathable upper material
  • Lightweight construction reduces drag
  • Orthotic-friendly design with removable insoles

Cons

  • Primarily designed for neutral runners
  • Limited to specific aesthetic styles in the 520 series
  • Polyester mesh may require frequent cleaning in muddy conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your New Balance 520s, ensure you have the correct size; note that these are available in sizes like UK 14.5. If you wear custom orthotics, simply pull the original factory insoles upward to remove them before inserting your own devices. For maintenance, spot clean the polyester mesh using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the Fresh Foam midsole. Always allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
