FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?

While the 9060 is rooted in New Balance's running heritage, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. Its design offers excellent comfort and style for everyday wear, but it is not optimized for high-performance athletic running.

How do I clean my New Balance 9060 sneakers?

Gently brush off loose dirt. For mesh areas, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For leather overlays, wipe with a damp cloth and consider a specialized leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What materials are used in the 9060?

The New Balance 9060 features a combination of mesh uppers for breathability, leather overlays for durability and structure, an EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning, an ABZORB sole unit for advanced shock absorption, and a rubber outsole for traction.

Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?

> Info needed: New Balance sizing can be generally consistent, but specific models might have slight variations. It is recommended to try them on for the best fit or consult a size guide specific to the 9060 if available.

Can I wear these sneakers in all weather conditions?

The New Balance 9060 is not designed to be waterproof. While the leather overlays offer some resistance to light moisture, the mesh sections will allow water to penetrate. It is best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

What is the ABZORB sole unit?

ABZORB is a New Balance-exclusive foam material that provides excellent cushioning and absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, enhancing overall comfort and shock reduction.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the sole or insole. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with cornstarch or baby powder, and then reinserting the insole. If the issue persists, check for any loose elements in the sole.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. If discomfort persists, consider replacing the standard insoles with orthopedic or aftermarket insoles that provide additional arch support or cushioning tailored to your foot type.

Stains on mesh or leather parts

For mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. For leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always clean promptly and avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn stains, professional shoe cleaning may be necessary.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust your lacing technique. If the shoes are consistently too tight or loose, it might indicate an incorrect size. Remember that shoe sizes can vary slightly between brands and models.
