The New Balance 9060 Trainers are primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe, excelling in everyday casual wear and urban environments. Their advanced ABZORB and SBS cushioning systems make them exceptionally comfortable for prolonged periods of walking, standing, or light city exploration.
Daily Comfort: Ideal for those on their feet for extended hours, providing consistent support and impact absorption, reducing fatigue.
Fashion Statement: The unique, futuristic aesthetic and 'Black' colorway make these trainers a focal point for contemporary outfits. Pair them with relaxed-fit denim, cargo trousers, or athletic-inspired streetwear for a cohesive look.
Urban Exploration: The robust rubber outsole offers reliable traction on various city surfaces, while the cushioning protects against the hardness of pavement.
Light Activity: Suitable for light recreational activities or short walks, but not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports.
Thanks to the mesh upper, they offer good breathability, while the leather overlays add structure and durability. The sculpted midsole, while contributing to the shoe's unique look, also ensures a stable platform for your foot.
Your New Balance 9060 Trainers require no special setup. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, insert your foot, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. We recommend trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure the best fit.
Sizing: These trainers typically run true to size. If you're between sizes or prefer a snugger/looser fit, consider trying a half-size up or down. Refer to New Balance's official sizing guide if available. Size 9.5 (UK) is provided for this specific variant.
Style: The black colorway and distinctive design are highly versatile. They pair well with:
Casual Wear: Jeans, chinos, shorts, and t-shirts.
Streetwear: Joggers, cargo pants, hoodies, and oversized tops.
Athleisure: Leggings, track pants, and performance-inspired apparel.
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 9060 Trainers, which feature a mix of leather and mesh.
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and smudges, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area.
Mesh Areas: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a small amount of mild detergent and water. Gently scrub the mesh, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Leather Overlays: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the material. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or sponge with mild soap and water to clean the sculpted midsole and rubber outsole. Remove any trapped debris from the tread.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Deodorizing: To keep them fresh, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Allow the baking soda to sit overnight, then tap it out.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
