FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance 9060 is designed for casual wear, daily activities, and light recreational play. While they offer good cushioning and support for everyday use, they are not specifically engineered as high-performance running or sports shoes.
What age group are these sneakers intended for?
These sneakers are sized and designed for grade school children. While they are unisex, the fit and features are optimized for younger wearers.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
We recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart, which often includes a guide for measuring foot length to ensure the best fit. It's always best to try them on to check for comfort and growth room.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the spot cleaning instructions provided in the care section.
Are these shoes durable for active kids?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 features synthetic overlays and a sturdy construction designed to provide support and withstand the rigors of daily wear for active children. Proper care will help extend their lifespan.
What is the '99X series design' reference?
The 99X series is a historic line of New Balance running shoes known for their quality and comfort. The 9060 reimagines elements from this classic series, bringing a modern twist to its heritage design cues.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Try wearing different thicknesses of socks. Laces can be adjusted to provide a more secure or relaxed fit. Consider checking the New Balance sizing guide for accuracy.
Shoes get dirty quickly or retain stains.
Regularly spot clean the shoes after wear using a mild soap and damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a soft brush and a dedicated shoe cleaner designed for synthetic and mesh materials. Air dry thoroughly.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes be caused by air trapped in the sole, or moisture between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with cornstarch or baby powder, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure shoes are completely dry if moisture is suspected.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with ones that have a slightly different texture for better grip, or try different lacing techniques that offer more security.
