FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 509 trainers are inspired by running styles and offer comfort for everyday wear and light jogging, but they are not designed for high-performance marathon running. For such activities, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the brown and black suede parts?
Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner can be used following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede and allow it to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials and ensure comfort.
What does 'Unisex' mean for sizing?
Unisex sizing typically follows standard men's sizing, but they are designed to fit both men and women comfortably. It's recommended to consult a size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit, as individual foot shapes vary.
What is the main inspiration behind the 509 series?
The 509 series is inspired by the running shoe designs and aesthetics popular in the 2000s, blending retro elements with modern comfort technology.
How durable are these trainers for daily use?
These trainers are built with durable construction intended for everyday wear, supporting an active lifestyle. Regular care and maintenance will help extend their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the midsole. Try removing the insole and placing a thin layer of talcum powder or a dryer sheet underneath. Reinsert the insole and check if the noise persists.
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. For a tighter fit, lace them through all eyelets. For a looser fit, skip some eyelets. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean the shoes regularly according to care instructions to prevent dirt from setting in and causing permanent discoloration.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 509 trainers:
- Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid excessive water.
