FAQs

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper of this New Balance 9060 is primarily crafted from suede.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable, the New Balance 9060 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker blending classic and modern aesthetics, not for specialized athletic performance like running or intense training.

How do I care for the suede material?

To maintain the suede, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and consider a specialized suede protector spray for added durability and stain resistance.

How does the cushioning system work?

These shoes feature a sculpted pod midsole with ABZORB and SBS cushioning. ABZORB provides optimal shock absorption and resistance to compression, while SBS offers additional stability and a soft feel.

What inspired the design of the 9060?

The 9060 takes inspiration from New Balance's classic 99X series and blends it with a Y2K-era futuristic aesthetic, featuring warped designs and scaled-up proportions.

Is this shoe considered unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 is designed as a unisex style.

What does UK 6 mean for sizing?

UK 6 refers to the standard adult United Kingdom shoe size. It's recommended to consult the official New Balance size guide for precise measurements or comparisons to other sizing systems.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in small, consistent strokes in one direction to lift the fibers and refresh the appearance.

Visible dirt or light stains on suede

For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For light stains, try a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the stain, then brush away any residue.

Trainers feel less cushioned over time

While normal wear causes some compression, ensure you rotate your footwear. If regularly worn, the cushioning may compress faster. Consider aftermarket insoles if needed, though they may alter fit. Info needed: [Specific advice for New Balance cushioning longevity beyond general wear and tear]

Unpleasant odor develops

Ensure trainers air out fully after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (then remove) to absorb odors.

Squeaking sound when walking

Often, this is due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your New Balance 9060 trainers require no complex setup. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred comfort, and enjoy.

  1. Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lace Adjustment: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit around your foot.
  3. Break-In: While comfortable from day one, like most footwear, a short break-in period can help the trainers conform perfectly to your foot shape.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed for adults.
  • Gender: This is a unisex style, suitable for all.
  • Wardrobe: Highly compatible with casual, streetwear, and smart-casual attire due to its versatile grey color and distinctive design.

Product Care

Given the suede material, proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 trainers.

  • Suede Protection: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
  • Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Always follow the product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing your trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Deep Cleaning: For stubborn dirt or grime, consider taking your trainers to a professional shoe cleaner experienced with suede.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Rotate Wear: To extend the lifespan of your trainers, avoid wearing them every day. Rotating them with other footwear allows the materials to air out and recover.
