FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are well-suited for light jogging and short-distance runs, though they are categorized primarily as lifestyle and daily trainers.
Can I remove the insole to add orthotics?
Yes, the standard insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotic supports if needed.
How does the sizing run?
The 520 v9 generally follows standard sizing for New Balance footwear, but it is recommended to measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
What is the best way to keep them clean?
Regular spot cleaning and using a protective spray designed for sneakers will help repel stains and keep the breathable mesh looking new.
Are these waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable upper designed for airflow, which means they are not waterproof and may absorb water in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the midfoot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelets in the area of tightness to provide more volume.
Midsole appears dirty or scuffed
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a mixture of water and gentle dish soap with a soft sponge to spot clean the foam.
Laces constantly come untied
Double-knot your laces or ensure they are pulled evenly from the bottom up to maintain consistent tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest life for your Fresh Foam 520 v9 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation; use the top eyelet if you require a more secure heel lock.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the foam to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge these shoes in a washing machine. Clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap, and wipe the midsole with a damp cloth.
- Air Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning.
