New Balance 9060 Sneaker - Black - 4

Generally, New Balance 9060s are considered to fit true to size. However, it's always recommended to consult the official New Balance sizing chart and consider trying them on, as individual foot shapes can vary. Our specific model is UK size 4.

The 9060 is inspired by running heritage but is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. While they offer excellent comfort for daily wear and light activity, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intensive gym workouts. We recommend dedicated running shoes for those activities.

The upper typically features a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays. The midsole is made of EVA foam, and the sole unit incorporates ABZORB technology with a rubber outsole for traction.

For detailed cleaning instructions, please refer to the 'Care and Maintenance' section above. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides optimal cushioning and shock absorption. It's designed to absorb impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, enhancing comfort and reducing stress on your feet.

The mesh and leather construction makes them suitable for most dry conditions. In wet or cold weather, caution is advised as the mesh offers less water resistance and protection from cold compared to fully waterproof or insulated footwear. The black colour family offers versatility for various seasons.

New Balance sizing can vary slightly. Always check the official New Balance size chart. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or width, if available. Remember, these are adult sizes, so refer to your adult UK foot size.

Refer to the 'Care and Maintenance' section above. Use gentle cleaning methods specifically for mesh and leather. For stubborn scuffs on leather, a dedicated leather cleaner may be required. Prompt cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.

Often, squeaking can be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it could be a manufacturing issue, or the sole breaking in.

While designed for comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure your lacing isn't too tight or too loose. Consider if the shoe has had enough break-in time. If discomfort persists, an aftermarket insole designed for your specific foot arch might provide additional support.
