FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
No, the New Balance 520 series is designed for casual daily use and walking, not for long-distance athletic training.
How do I determine if size 8.5 UK is right for me?
New Balance typically fits true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it against the official New Balance size chart.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes machine washable?
We do not recommend machine washing, as it can damage the materials and the cushioning properties of the midsole.
What surfaces are these trainers best for?
The rubber outsole is designed for general indoor surfaces, pavement, and standard walking paths.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The Fresh Foam midsole provides standard support, but individuals requiring heavy orthopedic arch support may wish to add aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension by pulling the laces from the bottom eyelets upward to redistribute pressure.
Visible surface dirt on the pink fabric
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution, gently working in a circular motion, then allow to air dry.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or look for a secure lace-locking technique to prevent slippage during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 520 trainers remain in top condition, follow these recommendations:
- Initial Setup: Loosen the laces completely before your first wear to ensure a personalized fit that matches your foot width.
- Care Instructions: Spot clean using a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive materials.
- Air Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for small stones or debris trapped in the tread pattern to maintain maximum grip.
