FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all sports?
The New Balance 9060 shoes are primarily designed for casual wear, daily activities, and general play. While they offer excellent comfort and stability for active children, they are not specialized performance shoes for high-intensity or competitive sports like track and field or basketball.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the New Balance size chart. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe to allow for growth and comfortable movement.
What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides excellent cushioning and compression set resistance, absorbing impact. SBS is a specific type of ABZORB cushioning that offers enhanced shock absorption and responsiveness, contributing to the shoe's 'bouncy' feel and overall comfort.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to maintain their condition. For added protection against light moisture, a suitable leather protector spray can be applied.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The sculpted pod midsole and the overall design of the New Balance 9060 provide inherent underfoot support and cushioning for general use. For specific or enhanced arch support needs, it is recommended to consult with a footwear professional or consider adding over-the-counter inserts if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too snug/loose.
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Laces should be adjusted for a snug, supportive fit without being overly tight. Allow for a short break-in period for the materials to conform to the foot. If discomfort persists, consider checking for proper sock thickness or consulting a footwear professional.
Shoes get dirty quickly or scuffed.
Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Consider applying a protective spray before first wear and periodically.
Child slips on certain surfaces.
While the diamond outsole provides good traction, no shoe guarantees slip-proof performance on all surfaces. Check the outsole for excessive wear or for debris lodged in the tread that could reduce grip. Ensure the shoes are clean, as dirt or mud can reduce traction.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 9060 shoes, particularly for the Leather material:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe dirt and dust off the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use. For the outsole, use a brush to remove debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks on the leather, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water. Apply with a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material damage.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
