FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the 520 v9 provides excellent comfort for daily wear and light exercise, it is primarily designed as a versatile trainer rather than a professional long-distance racing shoe.
Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?
Yes, the internal insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots. Always air dry.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow and is not waterproof or water-resistant.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The 520 v9 generally fits true to standard sizing, though individual preferences for width can vary.
Troubleshooting
Feeling uneven pressure or tight spots across the top of the foot
Adjust your lacing pattern to relieve tension in specific zones of the foot.
Slippage at the heel during walking
Utilize the top eyelet (runner's loop) when lacing to lock the heel more securely in place.
Outsole losing grip on smooth floors
Ensure the outsole is free from dust or debris by wiping it with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 520 v9 trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. When you first receive your pair, ensure the lace tension is adjusted to your specific foot shape to prevent friction. If the shoes become dirty, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the mesh upper with a soft brush, mild detergent, and cool water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials. Periodically inspect the rubber outsole for lodged debris to maintain optimal surface grip.
