FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The New Balance 520 trainers are designed for general running and offer good cushioning. For marathon distances, consider trainers with more advanced support features specific to ultra-long-distance running.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
Yes, their cushioning and stable outsole make them suitable for a variety of gym activities, though they are optimized for running.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. Ensure there is a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when trying them on.
What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam midsole?
The Fresh Foam midsole provides exceptional softness and lightweight cushioning, helping to reduce impact and enhance comfort during runs.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning in the midsole.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide excellent grip and withstand wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Slight rubbing or discomfort around the ankle
Ensure socks are worn properly. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. The padded collar may require a short break-in period.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole tread of any debris that might be hindering grip.
