FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 9060 uses professional-grade cushioning, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than competitive track running.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, never place your trainers in the dryer as the high heat can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
What material is used for the upper?
The New Balance 9060 features denim elements integrated with technical materials for a durable, stylized finish.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 9060 series is designed as a unisex model suitable for all kids.
How do I ensure the right fit for my child?
We recommend measuring the foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and ensuring there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Does the 9060 provide arch support?
The 9060 offers excellent underfoot support due to its ABZORB technology and sculpted midsole structure.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning dirt from the mesh or denim areas
Use a soft brush and a gentle cleaning solution to lift debris; do not soak the material.
Feeling of slipping or instability
Verify that the laces are properly adjusted; the sway bars require a secure fit to provide lateral support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 trainers stay in peak condition, regular maintenance is recommended. Since the upper materials often incorporate denim elements, it is best to avoid machine washing, which can degrade structural integrity. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, mild detergent, and lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping. Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to leverage the integrated sway bar support system.
