FAQs

What is the main material used for the New Balance 9060 "Rich Oak"?

The upper is primarily constructed from a blend of high-quality suede and breathable mesh.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While they offer excellent cushioning and comfort for daily wear and walking, they are designed more for lifestyle and casual use rather than high-intensity athletic performance.

How should I clean the sculptural outsole?

The outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is thoroughly dried afterward to prevent material damage.

What does the "Rich Oak" colorway represent?

It is a versatile, earthy deep brown shade, often complemented by lighter tones like beige and light pink, offering a unique and stylish aesthetic.

Are these trainers unisex?

The product information indicates this specific model is listed under 'Male' gender, but the design and colorway can appeal to a broader audience. Always check the specific sizing available.

How do I ensure the best fit?

It is recommended to check the New Balance size guide for UK adult sizing and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary based on foot shape.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the suede offers a premium look, it is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material from staining and damage.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Mesh sections are discolored

Gently clean with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces are fraying

Replace laces with a compatible pair of the same length and color. Clean existing laces if possible before replacement.

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try placing a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or check for any loose parts.

Fit feels too tight

Wear with thinner socks or try wearing the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate.
