FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

New Balance 9060 trainers generally fit true to size. We recommend trying your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best fit.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper features a combination of mesh for breathability and premium suede overlays, creating a dynamic and textured look.

Can I use these for running or working out?

While rooted in running heritage and featuring advanced cushioning, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer. For dedicated running or high-intensity workouts, New Balance offers specific performance running shoes.

How do I clean the suede parts?

For suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth is recommended. Always brush in the direction of the nap and avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive moisture.

Are they water-resistant?

The New Balance 9060 trainers are not inherently waterproof. The suede and mesh materials can absorb water. We recommend applying a suitable water and stain repellent spray, especially to the suede areas, for added protection.

What kind of cushioning do they have?

These trainers feature ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies, which are New Balance's proprietary systems designed to provide superior shock absorption and comfort.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you've selected the correct size. Check if the lacing is too tight; try loosening it slightly for a more relaxed fit. The materials may also need a short break-in period for optimal comfort.

Suede areas are getting dirty or stained easily.

Apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against dirt and moisture. For existing marks, use a suede eraser or brush specifically designed for suede to gently lift superficial stains.

The mesh areas appear discoloured or dirty.

Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Gently scrub the mesh in small sections, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Trainers are making a squeaking noise when I walk.

Sometimes a new insole can cause squeaking. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. If the squeak persists, it might be the sole unit, which typically resolves with more wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

These trainers require no complex setup. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred snugness, and they're ready to wear. Ensure a comfortable fit, allowing a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Compatibility

The New Balance 9060 is a unisex design, making it a versatile choice for anyone seeking modern comfort and style. Its classic black colourway ensures broad compatibility with most personal wardrobes and colour palettes.

Product Care & Maintenance

Proper care will preserve the aesthetic and longevity of your trainers, especially given the suede and mesh materials.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or marks, use a soft brush or a damp, clean cloth with mild soap. Gently dab the affected area.
  2. Suede Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.
  3. Deep Cleaning (Mesh): For mesh areas, use a soft brush or toothbrush with a small amount of mild detergent and warm water. Gently scrub in small circular motions.
  4. Suede Cleaning: For stubborn suede stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  5. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain shape.

Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
