FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 9060?
The New Balance 9060 (Grey, UK 7 variant) features a durable and breathable Leather & Textile Upper, combined with a Synthetic Sole for comfort and traction.
Can I use these sneakers for running or sports?
No, the New Balance 9060 is specifically designed for casual wear and streetwear fashion. While it offers excellent comfort and support for daily use, it is not built for the demands of running or high-performance athletic activities.
What do ABZORB and SBS cushioning do?
ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact. SBS is a dual-density foam technology that provides additional stability and cushioning, particularly in the heel area. Together, they deliver enhanced comfort and shock absorption.
How do I clean the white sections of the midsole?
The wavy synthetic midsole can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth using a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the surface to remove dirt and grime, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Is the sizing true to size?
New Balance sneakers, including the 9060 series, are generally considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary based on individual foot shape and width. Info needed: If possible, refer to a New Balance sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.
What is the CR heel support?
The CR heel support is an integrated component at the rear of the shoe designed to provide additional stability and structure around the heel area, contributing to a more secure and comfortable fit during wear.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. Try different lacing patterns, such as skipping eyelets for more room or using all eyelets for a snugger fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the best fit. Info needed: Consider if the size is correct for your foot type; New Balance generally runs true to size, but individual foot shapes vary.
The sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The diamond pattern tread is designed for general urban traction. However, extreme wet or smooth surfaces can still pose a risk. Clean the soles regularly to prevent dirt and debris buildup that can reduce grip. Info needed: Avoid highly polished or excessively wet surfaces if concern persists.
My feet get hot or sweaty.
While the textile components of the upper offer breathability, wearing moisture-wicking socks can significantly improve comfort. Ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Info needed: Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.
Scuffs or marks appear on the leather parts.
For light scuffs, a soft, damp cloth can often buff them out. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner can help restore the appearance. Info needed: Use products specifically designed for the type of leather on your sneakers.

Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 9060 sneakers. Given the Leather & Textile Upper and Synthetic Sole, follow these general guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs on the leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. For textile areas, a gentle brush and a small amount of mild soap and water can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
- Deep Cleaning (Occasional): For more thorough cleaning, gently scrub the synthetic sole with a brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and textile materials to help protect your sneakers from the elements.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
