Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The New Balance 520v9 trainers are designed for everyday running and general comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support or advanced features required for competitive marathon running. They are better suited for shorter to moderate distances.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without pinching or excessive tightness.

Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts?

Yes, their versatile design and cushioning make them suitable for general gym activities and cross-training, though they are primarily engineered for running.

What is the main benefit of Fresh Foam cushioning?

Fresh Foam cushioning is engineered to provide a balance of softness and support, absorbing impact gently to create a comfortable and smooth ride during your runs.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a decrease in cushioning and support.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or puddles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing system for a more customized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe's shape suits your foot.

Reduced grip or slippery feel

Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or small stones and clean them off. If the outsole appears worn down, it may be time to replace the shoes.

Upper material feels less breathable

Ensure the mesh is clear of dirt and debris. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses to maximize breathability.

Care:
