FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are well-suited for light jogging and walking, but for long-distance endurance running, you may want a specialized performance shoe.
How should I clean the breathable mesh material?
Avoid submerging them in water. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot-clean, and always air dry.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles in the 520 series are generally removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, yes, though New Balance fit can vary slightly by series. If you are between sizes, we recommend trying a half-size up.
Can I wear these on wet surfaces?
The non-slip rubber outsole provides decent traction, but exercise caution on extremely slick or icy surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with textured performance laces for better grip.
Minor exterior staining
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of mild detergent and water, then pat dry with a clean cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 520 trainers maintain their condition, follow these simple guidelines. For the initial setup, loosen the laces completely before inserting your foot to prevent strain on the heel collar. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft cloth with mild soap and cold water to wipe away dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the adhesive and synthetic components. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
