FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 sneakers are designed with comfort and durability in mind, making them excellent for everyday school wear, including active play during breaks.
What materials are the New Balance 9060 shoes made from?
The New Balance 9060 typically features a layered upper made from a combination of mesh and either leather or suede, depending on the specific variant. The sole is made of synthetic material.
How do I clean my New Balance 9060 sneakers?
Cleaning depends on the upper material. For general dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth. For leather, use a leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes provide good arch support for kids?
The New Balance 9060 features a sculpted pod midsole and dual-density ABZORB and SBS cushioning, which provides significant underfoot comfort and support for growing feet, contributing to overall foot health.
Are these shoes good for active sports like running or basketball?
While the 9060 offers excellent cushioning, stability, and traction suitable for general active play, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and everyday wear sneakers. For specialized sports, consider New Balance shoes specifically engineered for those activities.
How do I find the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length and consulting the New Balance size chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure the shoe is the correct size. Adjust the lacing system for a snug yet comfortable fit. Loosen laces if too tight, or tighten them if too loose. Check for proper sock thickness.
Child's feet slip inside the shoe
Verify the shoe size and lacing. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thin or slippery). The CR device at the heel provides stability, but a proper fit is key.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes a new shoe might squeak due to friction between parts. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is separating.
Outsoles seem to lose grip
Inspect the diamond pattern outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread thoroughly with a stiff brush and water to remove dirt or small stones that might be affecting traction.
Upper material appears dirty or stained
Identify the material (leather, suede, or mesh). Follow the specific care instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section for your shoe's upper material to clean effectively and avoid damage.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 9060 sneakers:
- General Cleaning: For regular dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe down the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Leather Uppers: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Condition leather periodically to keep it supple.
- Suede Uppers: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used. Avoid excessive moisture, as water can stain suede.
- Textile/Mesh Uppers: Gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soap (e.g., diluted laundry detergent) and water. Rinse with a damp cloth.
- Outsoles: Use a stiff brush and mild soap to clean the diamond pattern outsole, ensuring good traction.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out if possible. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
