FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature performance technology like ABZORB, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers suitable for all-day play rather than competitive long-distance running.
How do I determine the right size?
These trainers follow standard New Balance kids sizing; we recommend measuring the foot in centimeters and comparing it to our official size chart.
What is the primary material used?
The upper construction utilizes durable denim fabric paired with high-quality synthetic overlays.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the delicate midsole structure and cause the denim material to shrink or fade. Stick to hand cleaning.
Is the heel device just for looks?
No, the translucent heel device provides structural support to the rear of the shoe, enhancing overall stability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the denim upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and a damp cloth for spot cleaning.
Midsole foam showing light creases
Creasing is normal for ABZORB foam after wear and does not affect the performance of the cushioning.
Laces becoming loose during play
Ensure the laces are threaded through the 991-inspired tongue loop for added security during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 9060 trainers in top condition, ensure you select the correct size, as the 9060 series tends to have a structured fit due to the pod midsole. Given the denim construction, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft brush and a mild detergent. Air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning foam. To maintain the look of the black denim, store the shoes in a cool, dark place to avoid UV-induced color fading over time.
