FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 9060 is rooted in New Balance's running heritage, its innovative and conceptual design prioritizes elevated style and comfort for lifestyle wear. They are not specifically optimized for high-performance athletic running.

What kind of cushioning do these trainers have?

The New Balance 9060 features both ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms, along with an EVA midsole, to provide superior comfort and shock absorption.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft suede brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Are these trainers true to size?

New Balance trainers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The mesh and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, it's recommended to treat them with a water and stain repellent spray for added protection in wet conditions, and to avoid heavy rain.

What does 'Y2K era' design inspiration mean?

The Y2K era inspiration refers to design elements popular around the year 2000, often characterized by futuristic aesthetics, visible tech components, and bold, sometimes 'warped' or exaggerated proportions, which are evident in the 9060's sculpted midsole and sway bars.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better accommodate your foot shape. A thicker or thinner sock can also help with minor fit adjustments.

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaning kit following the manufacturer's instructions.

Sole makes squeaking noises.

This can sometimes happen with new shoes or on certain surfaces. Ensure no debris is lodged in the sole. If it persists, try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction.

Unpleasant odor from shoes.

Allow the shoes to air out regularly. Remove insoles periodically to dry. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight.

Overall appearance is losing freshness.

Regularly clean and protect your trainers as per the care instructions. Consider rotating between multiple pairs of shoes to reduce wear and tear on a single pair.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 9060 trainers, especially given their suede and mesh construction.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft brush, especially from the suede areas.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For mesh sections, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush, following product instructions.
  3. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  4. Drying: Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause cracking or shrinking.
  5. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and mesh materials to protect against spills and dirt.
  6. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
