FAQs

What materials are these trainers made from?

The upper features a combination of lightweight woven mesh, premium leather, and soft suede overlays. The sole is made from synthetic rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support for everyday wear and light activities, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's specialized running shoe lines.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.

Are New Balance 9060 trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. The mesh and suede materials are susceptible to water damage and can get wet. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance foam-based cushioning technology that provides exceptional shock absorption. SBS cushioning is a stable foam that delivers responsive comfort. Together, they offer a smooth and supportive ride.

Can I wear these trainers without socks?

For optimal comfort, hygiene, and to prevent excessive friction, wearing socks is recommended. This also helps manage moisture inside the shoe.

What size is this specific pair of trainers?

This specific product is a UK 5 for adults.

Are there other color options available in the 9060 series?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 series typically comes in various colorways, though this specific product features a Grey color scheme.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace tension. For tightness, re-lace more loosely, ensuring even tension. For loosenness, tighten laces more securely and ensure the tongue is centered and not bunched up.

Suede appears dull, dirty, or stained.

Use a specialized dry suede brush to lift dirt and rejuvenate the nap. For persistent stains, apply a small amount of dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid water-based cleaners on suede.

A squeaking sound occurs when walking.

This can sometimes happen if insoles are not seated correctly or due to moisture. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. Ensure the trainers are completely dry inside. If the issue persists, consider replacing insoles.

Foot discomfort after long periods of wear.

While designed for comfort, individual foot shapes and needs vary. Ensure you have the correct size. Consider trying after-market insoles for additional arch support or specific cushioning tailored to your foot needs.

Trainers appear misshapen after drying.

Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat. To help maintain shape during drying, stuff the trainers lightly with paper or use shoe trees.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 9060 Trainers provide optimal comfort and last for years, proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care are essential.

Setup Instructions

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove your trainers from their packaging. Inspect them for any manufacturing irregularities.
  2. Lacing: Loosen the laces completely. Insert your foot, then gradually tighten the laces from the toe box upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Tie a secure knot.
  3. First Wear: Wear your trainers for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot's unique shape. This helps break them in comfortably.

Compatibility

  • User: These trainers are designed for `adult` individuals and feature a `unisex` fit. This specific pair is a `UK 5`.
  • Usage: Ideal for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, and light leisure activities. They seamlessly integrate with a wide range of casual and athleisure apparel.

Care & Maintenance

The New Balance 9060 Trainers feature a mixed-material upper (mesh, leather, suede), requiring specific care to maintain their appearance and integrity.

  1. General Cleaning (Mesh & Synthetic): For the mesh and synthetic areas, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid saturating the material.
  2. Suede Care: For suede overlays, use a specialized dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing aggressively or using excessive water, as this can damage suede.
  3. Leather Care: Wipe leather overlays with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or to address scuffs, a quality leather cleaner or conditioner can be applied, following the product guidelines.
  4. Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the rubber outsole, removing dirt and debris from the diamond pattern for optimal traction.
  5. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage materials and adhesives.
  6. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
