New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but we recommend referring to New Balance's official size guide for children to ensure the best fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Check if the child is wearing the correct size. Ensure laces are adjusted properly – tight enough for support but not restrictive. Consider wearing appropriate socks.
Shoes get dirty easily and look worn.
Implement a regular cleaning routine. For synthetic suede and mesh, gently brush off loose dirt, then spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry thoroughly. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.
Child complains of discomfort after prolonged wear.
While the 9060 features advanced cushioning, ensure the fit is correct. Check for proper lacing and that socks aren't bunching up. If discomfort persists, consult a shoe fitting specialist.
Soles seem to lack grip on certain surfaces.
Inspect the rubber sole for excessive wear or damage. Ensure the soles are clean from mud or debris. While designed for general use, extreme conditions or highly polished surfaces might reduce grip.

Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 9060 shoes:
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt or marks, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning Synthetic Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher spots, a slightly damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Let it air dry completely.
- Cleaning Mesh: A soft brush or old toothbrush can help remove dirt from mesh areas. A damp cloth with mild soap can clean surface grime. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
