FAQs
What age group are these New Balance 9060 trainers for?
These trainers are specifically designed and sized for infants. The product details indicate infant sizing, such as UK size 7.
How do I clean the New Balance 9060 Infant Trainers?
Gently wipe the mesh and suede surfaces with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if needed. For suede, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
Are these trainers suitable for infants learning to walk?
Yes, with their supportive `ABZORB` cushioning, secure fit, and tough rubber tread for traction, they are well-suited to support infants who are crawling, cruising, and taking their first steps.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
The trainers feature an airy mesh upper combined with soft suede overlays, providing both breathability and a premium texture.
What is `ABZORB` cushioning?
`ABZORB` is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning technology that offers superior shock absorption and compression resistance, providing enhanced comfort and support.
Can the elastic laces be adjusted or replaced?
The trainers feature elastic laces with an adjustable toggle for easy tightening and loosening to ensure a secure fit. While adjustable, the elastic laces are integrated into the design, and direct replacement may not be straightforward.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose on my infant's foot.
Adjust the elastic laces using the toggle. Ensure the toggle is pulled sufficiently to secure the foot without constricting it. Check for appropriate toe wiggle room.
My infant seems uncomfortable or resistant to wearing the trainers.
First, re-check the fit to ensure they are not too tight or rubbing anywhere. Infants might also need time to adjust to new footwear; try introducing them for short periods initially. Ensure socks are comfortable and not bunched up.
The trainers are getting dirty quickly, especially the suede parts.
Regularly clean the trainers after use. For mesh, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For suede, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt and consider a specialized suede cleaner for stubborn stains. Prompt cleaning helps prevent dirt from setting in.
The soles seem to lack grip or traction.
Check the rubber tread for any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the trainers are the correct size, as ill-fitting shoes can affect stability. Clean the sole if necessary.
My infant's feet feel hot or sweaty.
The trainers feature an airy mesh upper for breathability. Ensure your infant is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., breathable cotton). In very warm weather, consider lighter footwear if persistent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started

- Insert Foot: Gently slide your infant's foot into the trainer, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Adjust for Snug Fit: Pull the elastic laces and tighten the toggle until the trainer feels snug but not overly tight. There should be a little wiggle room for toes.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 9060 Infant Trainers:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the mesh and suede surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, but avoid harsh detergents.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, use a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush) to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner designed for footwear is recommended. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can affect the structure and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
