FAQs

What does ABZORB and SBS cushioning mean?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides excellent shock absorption and compression resistance. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a non-cellular rubber compound that offers additional stable cushioning, enhancing impact absorption and responsiveness.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or gym workouts?

The New Balance 9060 is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While they provide excellent cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of performance running or intensive gym workouts. For those activities, dedicated New Balance performance footwear is recommended.

How do I clean the suede (pigskin) material on my 9060s?

To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth or sponge, gently dabbing the stained area. Allow to air dry, then brush again to restore the nap. Avoid getting the suede overly wet.

Is the sizing true to fit?

New Balance 9060 generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, fit can be subjective. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, it's often recommended to try them on or consult the official New Balance size guide.

What makes the design 'Y2K-inspired'?

The Y2K inspiration comes from its bold, futuristic, and slightly chunky silhouette reminiscent of footwear trends from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Elements like the exaggerated proportions, sculpted midsole, and expanded sway bars reflect this era's aesthetic.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles in the New Balance 9060 are typically removable. This allows you to replace them with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort or support, if needed.

Troubleshooting

My sneakers feel too snug or loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing: looser lacing for a more relaxed feel, or tighter lacing for a more secure fit. Allow for a break-in period as the materials may conform to your foot over time.

The suede/pigskin material looks dirty or stained.

Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

My feet feel warm or sweaty.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). The mesh upper provides breathability, but in very hot conditions or with thick socks, warmth can be an issue. Consider using foot powder.

The outsole lacks grip on certain surfaces.

The diamond outsole pattern provides general traction. However, no outsole offers universal grip on all surfaces (e.g., icy or extremely wet conditions). Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris for optimal performance.

My sneakers are making a squeaking sound.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the midsole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda inside the shoe, then reinsert the insole. If the squeaking persists, it may be due to moisture; ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Comfort: The combination of ABZORB and SBS cushioning delivers a plush yet supportive feel, ideal for extended wear.
  • Unique Aesthetic: Its Y2K-inspired, bold design stands out and offers a distinctive fashion statement.
  • Quality Materials: The mesh and pigskin upper provides both breathability and a premium tactile experience.
  • Versatile Styling: Can be paired with a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits due to its distinctive look.

Cons

  • Specific Style Preference: The bold, chunky, and futuristic design might not appeal to everyone's taste.
  • Care Requirements: The pigskin (suede) material on the upper requires careful cleaning and maintenance to preserve its appearance.
  • Not Optimized for Performance Sports: While comfortable, it's primarily a lifestyle shoe and not designed for high-performance athletic activities like serious running.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Your New Balance 9060 sneakers require minimal setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred snugness. The design allows for various lacing styles, from traditional cross-lacing to more customized patterns for a personalized fit.

Compatibility

  • Gender: This model is designed as Unisex, suitable for all.
  • Style: Its bold and Y2K-inspired design makes it highly compatible with modern streetwear, athleisure, and casual fashion aesthetics. It pairs well with jeans, joggers, shorts, and even some contemporary casual dresses or skirts.
  • Sizing: The available sizes, such as UK 9.5 (adult), indicate a standard adult sizing range. Refer to New Balance's official size charts if you are unsure of your exact fit, as shoe sizing can sometimes vary slightly.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your 9060 sneakers, particularly given the mesh and pigskin (suede) upper.

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and mesh materials before the first wear. This can help repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush off debris with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush).
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a mild soap solution (diluted with water) applied with a soft cloth. Blot, do not rub, the stained area. For mesh, a gentle scrub with a soft brush and mild soap can be effective.
  4. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your sneakers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
