FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

While supportive and comfortable, the New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For dedicated athletic activities, we recommend looking into New Balance's performance-specific running or training shoes.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

This specific variant is a UK 6 for kids. We generally recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to New Balance's official size chart to ensure the best fit. If possible, trying them on is always ideal.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and structure. Please follow the 'Care' instructions provided in this guide for cleaning.

What kind of socks should be worn with these shoes?

For optimal comfort and breathability, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking or cotton socks. This helps keep feet dry and comfortable throughout the day.

Are these shoes heavy?

Despite the chunky, layered midsole, the New Balance 9060 is designed to be lightweight due to its mesh base and synthetic overlays, providing comfort without excessive bulk.

Is the 'Black Cement' detail very noticeable?

The 'Black Cement' refers to dark grey support layers on the toe and heel. While it adds a subtle textural and tonal variation, the overall aesthetic remains sleek and predominantly black.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Shoes get dirty easily or have visible scuffs.

Regularly wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution and then wipe clean. Prompt cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.

Foot odor develops after prolonged wear.

Allow shoes to air out between wears. Consider using shoe deodorizers or insoles designed to wick moisture and combat odor. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure you are tying your laces with a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also try replacing the laces if they have become too slick or worn.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 Black Cement shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlay surfaces with a soft, damp cloth immediately after they get dirty. A mild soap can be used for tougher spots.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a small amount of mild detergent mixed with water. Gently scrub the affected area in small circular motions.
  3. Rinsing: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off any soap residue.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
