FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 9060 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good support and cushioning for everyday activities and light play, they are not specialized for high-impact sports or intensive athletic training.
How do I clean the pink suede material?
For suede, gently brush away loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, test a specialized suede cleaner in an inconspicuous area first, then follow the product instructions. Always allow suede to air dry away from direct heat.
What does 'GS' in the product name stand for?
GS typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that this model is sized for older children or youths.
What is the main inspiration for the 9060 series?
The 9060 series is inspired by New Balance's heritage running designs, particularly drawing influence from Y2K aesthetics, with a modern interpretation of classic silhouettes.
Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or dry these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, especially the suede, and alter the shoe's shape and integrity.
What other colors are available in this model for kids?
While this guide focuses on the Pink/Purple colorway, New Balance often releases the 9060 model in various color options. Please check the product listings for the most current availability.
How does the sizing compare to other New Balance kids' shoes?
New Balance generally offers consistent sizing. However, it's always recommended to consult the specific size chart provided and measure your child's foot for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe needs a short break-in period.
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are of good quality and tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing them if they are worn or slippery.
Sole appears worn quickly
Check if the shoes are being used for activities that cause excessive abrasion. Ensure the child is wearing the correct size, as improper fit can lead to uneven wear.
