Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and First Use
Upon receiving your New Balance 520v9 shoes, simply lace them up and ensure a comfortable, snug fit. There is no complex setup required. We recommend a short break-in period with lighter activities before embarking on long runs to allow the shoes to conform to your feet.
Compatibility
These shoes are specifically designed for road running, making them ideal for asphalt, concrete, and paved park paths. They are compatible with standard athletic socks and running apparel. While designed for adult female runners based on available sizing, their performance features can benefit any road runner seeking cushioning and traction.
Care Instructions
- Refer to the product label inside the shoe for specific care instructions provided by New Balance.
- For general cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth. Use a mild soap and cold water mixture to spot clean any stains on the engineered mesh upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Do not machine wash or machine dry your shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to preserve their shape and integrity.
- Remove insoles and air them out separately if they become damp from sweat.
