Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your New Balance 9060s, especially given their suede components.
Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede and fabric protector spray before first wear. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
Regular Cleaning (Suede):
Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap (the soft, fuzzy surface).
For scuffs or stubborn marks, use a suede eraser to lightly rub away the mark.
For deeper stains, use a suede-specific cleaning solution with a soft cloth or brush, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Regular Cleaning (Mesh/Other Materials):
For the mesh and midsole, wipe with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry your New Balance 9060s, as this can damage the materials and construction.
