FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they are suitable for light running and general exercise, though they are categorized as versatile trainers rather than specialized high-performance long-distance running shoes.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance Fresh Foam 520 v9 is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot shapes comfortably.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
It is recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during activity.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, it is recommended to replace athletic trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the wear on the outsole.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight across the midfoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet over the tightest area to relieve pressure.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper mesh
Use a soft brush to gently lift dirt, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth without soaking the material.
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or a secure running knot to ensure the laces remain tight during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these maintenance practices:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot volume to prevent slippage.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and midsole. For the mesh upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the structural adhesives.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Air Out: After intense use, remove the insoles to allow the interior to dry thoroughly, which helps maintain freshness.
