FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?
The New Balance 9060 trainers are excellent for general active play, school, and everyday activities. While they offer superb comfort and support, they are not specialized sports shoes for high-performance sports like competitive running or specific court sports, which may require footwear with different design features.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
These shoes are listed in UK children's foot sizes. It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to a New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort. If unsure, consider trying them on.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 9060 trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Please follow the manual care instructions for cleaning, focusing on spot cleaning and air drying.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The New Balance 9060 trainers are not designed to be waterproof. While the synthetic suede and mesh offer some resistance to light splashes, prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. For wet conditions, consider footwear specifically designed for waterproofing.
What kind of activities are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are ideally suited for everyday activities such as school, playground play, walking, casual outings, and light recreational activities. Their combination of comfort, support, and durable construction makes them a versatile choice for active children.
How often should I clean the shoes?
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often and where the shoes are worn. For daily use, a quick brush-off of dirt after each wear is beneficial. Deep cleaning of the synthetic suede and mesh should be done as needed when visible dirt or stains appear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many new shoes, the New Balance 9060 may require a short 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for shorter durations during light activities for the first few days until they conform to their foot shape. The cushioning will become more pliable with use.
Synthetic suede upper appears dirty or stained.
For light dirt, use a soft-bristle brush to gently remove debris. For stains, dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water, then gently blot the stained area. Avoid harsh scrubbing or saturating the material. For tougher stains, consider a specialized synthetic suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
The rubber sole seems to be losing grip.
Inspect the sole for embedded dirt, pebbles, or debris. Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to clean out any foreign objects from the tread. A quick wash with soap and water can also help restore the sole's original traction properties. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing again.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 9060 trainers, proper care is essential, particularly for the synthetic suede and mesh upper.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, gently brush the synthetic suede with a soft brush (like a toothbrush or suede brush). Wipe mesh areas with a damp cloth.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth to gently blot the affected area. Avoid saturating the material.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede): For deeper cleaning of synthetic suede, a specialized synthetic suede cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
