FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While the Fresh Foam 520 v9 provides excellent comfort for daily training and light jogs, it is designed primarily as a versatile trainer rather than a specialized long-distance racing shoe.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the foam midsole. Spot cleaning is the best method to maintain the shoes.
Does the mesh upper stretch over time?
The mesh is designed to be flexible and adaptive, but it retains its shape well with normal use. Avoid excessive force to maintain the intended support.
Is this shoe good for wide feet?
The mesh upper offers a degree of flexibility that accommodates various foot shapes, though it is built on a standard width profile.
What surfaces are these best suited for?
They are optimized for road running, gym floors, and casual urban surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white mesh upper
Use a soft-bristle brush and a mixture of mild soap and water to gently scrub the affected area, then air dry.
Feeling of slipping or instability
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to secure the midfoot, and verify that the shoe size corresponds correctly to your foot measurements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fresh Foam 520 v9 trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of a breathable mesh, avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the foam and glue. Instead, use a soft brush and mild soap to spot-clean any dirt from the mesh. Ensure they are air-dried in a shaded area away from direct heat sources. For sizing, these shoes are standard women's UK sizes; if you plan to wear thick performance socks, consider whether you prefer a snug or slightly roomier fit, as the mesh offers a flexible, adaptive hold on the foot.
