What reviewers say
RTINGS, which buys and tests shoes itself, reviewed the men’s 520 v9 in August 2026 (we found no separate test of the women’s version, which is the same shoe). It scored 7.3 for daily training and lower for racing and long runs. RTINGS liked the very stable, planted ride and the true-to-size fit, but rated the cushioning (5.5 out of 10) and energy return as weak and noted that the low toe box may chafe runners with tall toes. The i-Run team calls it a neutral shoe for beginner and occasional runners doing short runs of about 5 to 10 km. Decathlon’s Irish site shows 4.6 out of 5 from 125 customer reviews for the women’s pair (10 November 2026).
