FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The 520 v9 is best suited for light running and daily walking. For competitive long-distance marathons, you might prefer shoes with more specialized stability features.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and foam density. Please stick to manual spot cleaning.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions, but it is always recommended to try them on with the socks you plan to use for training.
Is the Fresh Foam midsole removable?
The insole is generally removable to accommodate custom orthotics, but the main Fresh Foam midsole unit is an integrated part of the shoe structure.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are not recommended for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Re-tie the laces using a 'runner's loop' or heel lock technique to increase ankle stability.
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dried mud, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap.
Odor buildup after long use
Remove the insoles to air out and sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to neutralize odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your 520 v9 trainers is simple: ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate your specific foot width. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or degrading. If the insoles become damp, remove them to speed up the drying process and prevent odors.
