FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 true to size?

Generally, New Balance shoes are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between models. We recommend trying them on or consulting a New Balance size guide if you are unsure.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, due to the suede upper material, machine washing is not recommended. Please follow the specific care instructions for suede to clean your shoes.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense workouts?

The New Balance 9060 is designed for everyday wear, comfort, and style, not specifically for high-performance running or intense athletic training. While they offer excellent cushioning, for specialized sports, we recommend shoes designed for those specific activities.

How do I protect the suede from water damage?

Before initial wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to create a protective barrier.

What is the primary benefit of ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB cushioning is designed to absorb impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing a soft yet responsive feel that enhances overall comfort and reduces stress on your feet.

Are replacement laces available?

Info needed: [New Balance typically offers replacement laces through their official website or authorized retailers. Check their accessories section or contact customer support for specific availability for the 9060 model.]

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in small, consistent strokes in one direction.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the fit that best suits your foot shape. Consider wearing different sock thicknesses.

Squeaking sound while walking.

Often, this is due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with cornstarch or baby powder, and then reinserting the insole.

Stains on suede are not coming off.

For tough stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner experienced with suede. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as this can worsen the stain.

Shoes feel heavy after prolonged wear.

While the 9060 offers substantial cushioning, the robust design can contribute to its weight. This is generally normal. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and support.

Care Instructions for Suede Upper

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede New Balance 9060 sneakers:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar applied with a clean cloth. Dab gently, do not rub.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge suede shoes in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes, which can damage the suede.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
