FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The 520 v9 is designed as a versatile trainer suitable for light running and daily wear, but dedicated marathon runners may prefer models with more specialized stability features.
Are these waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though it is always recommended to try them on with the socks you intend to wear.
How should I clean the white sections?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently lift surface dirt without damaging the material.
Troubleshooting
The mesh upper feels dirty or stained
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to gently scrub the area, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
The shoe feels too tight after long walks
Feet naturally swell throughout the day; try loosening the laces slightly across the midfoot to allow for expansion.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or small stones stuck in the grooves; clean with a brush to restore grip.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your New Balance 520 v9s is simple: ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to allow the mesh to contour to your foot shape. These trainers are compatible with standard athletic socks. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam integrity and mesh structure. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the materials.
