FAQs

What kind of cushioning technology do the New Balance 9060 Trainers feature?

The 9060 Trainers are equipped with New Balance's ABZORB and SBS cushioning for superior comfort and shock absorption.

What materials are used in the upper of the 9060 Trainers?

The upper consists of a premium suede and mesh mix, enhanced with durable leather overlays.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities like running?

While rooted in New Balance's running heritage, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear, comfort, and style, not high-performance running.

How should I clean my New Balance 9060 Trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For mesh, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush is recommended. Always air dry and avoid harsh chemicals.

What makes the design of the 9060 unique?

The 9060 reinterprets familiar 99X series elements with a 'warped sensibility' and combines design features from the popular 990 and 860 silhouettes, creating a conceptual and futuristic aesthetic.

Are the New Balance 9060 Trainers available in different colors or sizes?

Yes, the 9060 series is available in various colorways and adult UK sizes to suit different preferences. This specific guide refers to the Grey, UK 11 version (MPN: `U9060ERA`).

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper issues, a suede eraser or cleaner may be necessary.

Mesh areas are visibly dirty

Prepare a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

Trainers feel stiff initially

New footwear often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot shape.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between insoles and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles, or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath them.

Loss of cushioning feel over time

While ABZORB and SBS cushioning is durable, all cushioning can compress over extensive use. Ensure you're storing them correctly and rotate your footwear to extend their lifespan.

Product Care

Proper care will preserve the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 Trainers, especially given their suede and mesh components.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the suede and mesh regularly using a soft brush.
  2. Spot Cleaning (Suede): For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Spot Cleaning (Mesh): For mesh areas, a mild soap solution and a soft cloth can be used. Gently wipe the affected area.
  4. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.

  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. You can use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
