FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running or athletic sports?
No, the New Balance 9060 are primarily designed for casual wear, streetwear, and everyday comfort. While they offer excellent cushioning for walking, they are not intended for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
We recommend checking our detailed size guide for accurate measurements. New Balance shoes generally fit true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
The upper features suede and mesh, which are not waterproof. While light drizzle might not cause immediate damage, we do not recommend wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can damage the materials and reduce their lifespan.
What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a non-cellular rubber compound used in conjunction with ABZORB to offer an even more responsive and stable ride, enhancing overall comfort and support.
How should I clean the `N` logo badges?
The `N` logo badges can be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or dull their finish.
Do these shoes require a 'break-in' period?
While the New Balance 9060 are designed for immediate comfort, a short 'break-in' period of a few wears is always recommended. This allows the materials to fully conform to the unique shape of your foot, maximizing personalized comfort.
What type of socks are best with the 9060?
For optimal comfort and style, we recommend wearing athletic or casual socks that complement the shoe's design. Cotton or moisture-wicking blends are excellent choices for breathability and comfort throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound while walking
Often, a squeak comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole has any debris lodged in the tread.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size. If the size is correct, try wearing thinner socks or relacing the shoes to alleviate pressure points. Consider wearing them for shorter periods during the initial break-in phase.
Stains on the suede or mesh upper
Act quickly! For suede, use a specialized suede eraser or brush. For mesh, gently spot clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then blot dry. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can damage the material.
Loss of cushioning feel over time
While the ABZORB and SBS cushioning is durable, prolonged heavy use can compress materials. Regularly cleaning and properly storing your shoes can help maintain their integrity. If cushioning significantly degrades, it might indicate the shoes are reaching the end of their useful life.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot. You can also replace the existing laces with new ones that might offer better grip.

- Unboxing: Remove the sneakers from their packaging.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure they are not too tight to prevent discomfort or too loose to avoid slipping.
- Break-In Period: While the 9060 offers immediate comfort, a short break-in period of a few wears can further mold the shoe to your foot.

They are best suited for urban settings, social gatherings, and everyday casual use rather than formal events or high-performance athletic activities.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 9060 sneakers, which feature a Leather & Textile Upper/Synthetic Sole.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off loose dirt and dust using a soft brush or dry cloth.
- Spot Cleaning the Textile (Mesh) Sections: For mesh areas, use a mild soap mixed with cool water. Apply with a soft cloth or brush, then gently wipe clean with a damp cloth. Air dry away from direct heat.
- Suede Care: Suede is delicate. Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner, applying sparingly according to product instructions. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.
- Leather Sections: For leather accents, wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used, followed by a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or soft brush with mild soap to clean the synthetic sole. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry your New Balance 9060 sneakers, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
