FAQs

What type of running are these shoes best for?

The New Balance 520v9 are road running shoes, ideal for pavement and light trails. They are designed for speed and endurance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A proper fit should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to splay naturally. Ensure your heel is secure without slipping. We recommend trying them on before purchasing if possible.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and cushioning. Clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

These shoes feature New Balance's Fresh Foam midsole technology, which provides lightweight and responsive cushioning.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify wide or narrow fit options. Standard fit is assumed. Consider trying them on to assess fit for your foot type.

What does the 'N' logo signify?

The signature 'N' logo on the sides is a design element that signifies the New Balance brand and its athletic aesthetic.

How long do these shoes typically last?

The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage frequency, mileage, running style, and surface. For optimal performance and injury prevention, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. The engineered mesh may stretch slightly with wear, but significant tightness may indicate an incorrect size.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The Fresh Foam midsole may compress over time with extensive use. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.

Traction is poor on wet surfaces

While the grip tread offers traction, extremely wet or slippery conditions can still be challenging. Exercise caution and consider specialized footwear for such conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight cushioning for enhanced comfort during runs.
  • Breathable upper material keeps feet cool.
  • Good traction on multiple surfaces.
  • Durable construction for consistent performance.
  • Comfortable fit with padded tongue and collar.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient support for pronation issues.
  • Best suited for road running; less ideal for trail or extreme terrain.
  • Specific care instructions need to be followed for longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure you have the correct UK size (this guide refers to a UK Size 7). For optimal fit, try them on before your first run.

Compatibility:

These trainers are primarily designed for road running. They are compatible with standard athletic socks and are suitable for various running activities from short jogs to long-distance training.

Care:

Refer to the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, to maintain the integrity and performance of the shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
