FAQs

What makes these trainers comfortable for kids?

The New Balance 9060 trainers incorporate ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms, specifically designed to absorb impact and provide exceptional comfort and support for active children throughout their day, from playtime to everyday wear.

How should I clean these trainers?

For best results, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap or shoe cleaner with a soft brush or cloth for the synthetic suede and mesh areas. Wipe with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of weather?

The synthetic suede and mesh upper provides breathability and is suitable for dry to moderately damp conditions. They are not waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions is not recommended to maintain their condition and protect your child's feet.

Can my child wear these for sports?

The 9060 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear, play, and light activities, offering a blend of style and comfort. For specialized sports requiring specific support, traction, or protective features, dedicated athletic footwear designed for that sport might be more appropriate.

What is the 'Y2K-inspired aesthetic'?

The 'Y2K-inspired aesthetic' refers to the design drawing inspiration from the year 2000 (Y2K) era. This includes features like a futuristic, visible tech look, warped sensibilities, and exaggerated proportions, giving the shoe a distinct, bold, and modern appearance.

What materials are used in the New Balance 9060 trainers?

The upper part of the trainers is made from a combination of durable synthetic suede and breathable mesh. The interior lining is textile for comfort, and the sole is constructed from robust rubber, providing good traction and durability.

Are these trainers available in other sizes or colors?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is typically available in various kids' sizes (including UK sizes like 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13) and may come in different colorways, such as black or grey. Please check the specific product page or retailer for current available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or don't fit right.

Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks, not too thick or thin. Refer to the New Balance size guide for children's footwear and consider measuring your child's foot to confirm the correct size. New Balance sizes can vary slightly, so check the specific `UK size 12` fit.

Shoes appear dirty quickly, especially the mesh and suede.

For general dirt, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for synthetic suede and mesh. Prompt cleaning after use will help prevent dirt from setting in. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage materials.

The sole or upper seems to be wearing out faster than expected.

While durable, these trainers are designed for general everyday wear and light activities. Excessive friction from specific activities like scooting, dragging feet, or very intense sports can cause premature wear. Ensure your child uses them for appropriate activities and check for any habits that might contribute to wear.

My child's feet sweat excessively in the trainers.

The mesh components provide breathability, but proper sock choice is important. Opt for moisture-wicking socks made from materials like cotton blends or synthetic fibers. Ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, allowing for some air circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance 9060 trainers is straightforward: simply lace them up to achieve a comfortable and secure fit for your child. Ensure the laces are tied properly to prevent tripping hazards during activity.

Compatibility

These trainers feature a unisex design, making them suitable for all children. Their versatile style and comfort-focused engineering mean they can be paired with a wide range of outfits, from athletic wear to casual everyday attire. They are designed for general wear and light activities, not specialized sports.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Initial Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt or debris from the synthetic suede and mesh surfaces using a soft-bristled brush.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For light stains, use a clean, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a shoe-specific cleaner. Gently wipe the affected area. Avoid saturating the material.
  3. Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Deep Cleaning (Suede/Mesh): For tougher dirt, use a cleaner specifically formulated for synthetic suede and mesh. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  5. Sole Cleaning: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and materials.
  7. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
