FAQs

What kind of activities are the New Balance 9060 best suited for?

The New Balance 9060 are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers, perfect for everyday wear, urban exploration, and casual outings where comfort and style are key. They offer excellent support for walking and standing for extended periods.

How do I clean my New Balance 9060 sneakers?

For cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap for the leather, mesh, and synthetic parts. If your pair includes suede, use a specialized suede brush or cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact. SBS is a further evolution, a non-compressible fluid that offers exceptional cushioning and stability. Together, they provide superior comfort and shock absorption.

Are these shoes true to size?

New Balance 9060 sneakers are generally considered to fit true to size based on standard UK sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so if possible, consult a size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these sneakers in all weather conditions?

While the mixed-material upper offers some protection, these sneakers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Heavy rain or snow may damage the materials and affect longevity.

What materials are used in the New Balance 9060?

The upper is meticulously crafted from a blend of high-quality materials including leather, breathable mesh, and synthetic overlays. The midsole features soft EVA foam with ABZORB and SBS cushioning, and the outsole is made of durable rubber.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., skip eyelets for pressure points). Verify you have the correct UK size, as comfort can vary between individuals.

Squeaking sound while walking.

Sometimes squeaking can come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder, or placing a thin sheet of fabric (like a dryer sheet) under the insole.

Upper material appears dirty or scuffed.

Follow the care instructions: use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap for mesh/synthetic/leather, and a suede brush/cleaner for suede sections. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Foot fatigue after long wear.

While designed for comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure proper lacing for support. Consider trying different athletic socks or custom insoles if persistent, though the built-in ABZORB/SBS should provide ample cushioning.

Outsole traction seems reduced.

Check the outsole for any embedded debris (small stones, dirt) and clean it thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. Ensure the sole is dry before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance 9060 sneakers is straightforward due to their classic lace-up design. Simply unbox, adjust the laces to your preferred fit, and you're ready to wear them. Ensure a snug yet comfortable fit to maximize the benefits of the cushioning system and support.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of individuals. They are specifically crafted to be a versatile addition to your wardrobe, complementing both classic and sporty outfits. Their distinctive aesthetic allows them to pair well with everything from casual denim and shorts to more fashionable streetwear ensembles.

Care

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

  1. Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and stains on the leather, mesh, and synthetic upper, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. Gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Suede Care: If your specific model incorporates suede (which some variants of the 9060 do), use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear is recommended.
  3. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage the materials and adhesives.
  4. Insoles: Remove insoles periodically to air them out, which helps prevent odor buildup.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct light, to preserve materials and color.
  6. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the cushioning and upper materials.
