FAQs

What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides cushioning and compression set resistance. SBS is a stability feature within the ABZORB cushioning, offering further stability and shock absorption for enhanced comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 9060s are rooted in running heritage and offer excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle, casual wear, and general daily activity rather than high-performance running workouts.

How do I clean the mixed materials?

Gently brush off loose dirt. For mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. Air dry naturally away from heat. Avoid machine washing or submerging.

What kind of outfits do these trainers go well with?

Thanks to their versatile and expressive design, the 9060s can be paired with almost any wardrobe piece. They complement casual wear like jeans and joggers, athleisure outfits, and can even add a modern edge to smart-casual looks.

Are the New Balance 9060 Trainers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 Trainers are designed as a unisex product, suitable for both men and women. The sizing is standard, so refer to New Balance's size charts if unsure.

What makes the design 'futuristic'?

The futuristic aspect comes from its conceptual combination of classic New Balance silhouettes (like the 990 and 860) with innovative lines, exaggerated features, and mixed textures, creating a unique and forward-thinking aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes often require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially. Check if laces are tied too tightly.

Suede or mesh areas appear dirty or stained.

Refer to the 'Care & Maintenance' section for specific cleaning instructions for mesh and suede. Use appropriate brushes and cleaners designed for these materials.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new shoes. Check if the insole is properly seated. If it persists, it might be an issue with the sole; Info needed: [contact New Balance support if persistent].

Overall appearance dulls over time.

Regular cleaning and proper storage are key. Use protective sprays suitable for mixed materials to help repel water and stains. Rotate with other footwear to reduce wear.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure your New Balance 9060 Trainers maintain their appearance and longevity, specific care is recommended due to their mixed materials (mesh, suede, leather).

  1. General Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For surface stains, use a mild soap solution mixed with water. Apply with a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Suede Areas: For suede overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used sparingly, following product instructions.
  3. Mesh Uppers: The mesh can be cleaned gently with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent damage.
  4. Leather Overlays: Wipe leather sections with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a leather cleaner or conditioner, if appropriate, to maintain the material's integrity.
  5. Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials like suede and EVA midsoles.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
