FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?

The New Balance 9060 is designed primarily for lifestyle and streetwear use, offering exceptional comfort for daily wear. While they provide excellent cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

How do I determine the correct size?

These sneakers are listed as a UK 7.5. New Balance typically runs true to size. We recommend trying your usual New Balance size. If you have concerns, comparing your foot measurements to a New Balance size chart can be helpful.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The `Leather & Textile Upper` provides some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions, especially for the `suede` components, is not recommended and can lead to damage or staining. If they get wet, follow the drying instructions in the care section.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to prevent odor, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking athletic or casual socks. The style is versatile enough to pair with various sock lengths, from no-show to crew socks, depending on your outfit.

Is the `ABZORB` and `SBS` cushioning removable?

The `ABZORB` and `SBS` cushioning are integrated into the midsole of the shoe for structural support and comfort. The standard insoles, however, are typically removable, allowing for custom orthotics if needed.

How durable is the `wavy midsole` design?

The `wavy midsole` is a robust feature of the 9060, constructed from durable synthetic materials. It is designed to withstand regular wear and maintain its structural integrity and aesthetic over time with proper care.

What is the `CR heel support`?

The `CR heel support` is a component integrated into the heel area of the shoe. It provides additional structure and stability, helping to lock your heel in place for a more secure and comfortable fit, reducing slippage during movement.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure laces are properly adjusted. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., skip eyelets for tightness, use all for security). If the fit is consistently off, verify shoe size against your usual New Balance sizing.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Sometimes a loose insole can cause squeaking. Remove the insole, sprinkle a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and replace the insole. If the sole itself squeaks, it might be due to trapped moisture; allow shoes to dry thoroughly.

Upper materials appear dirty or stained.

For `mesh` and `leather`, use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap. For `suede`, use a dedicated suede brush and eraser. Address stains promptly to prevent them from setting.

Foot odor develops.

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Ensure socks are clean and moisture-wicking. Removing and airing out insoles can also help.

Sole appears discolored or scuffed.

The `synthetic sole` can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 sneakers, which feature a `Leather & Textile Upper/Synthetic Sole`:

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft brush, especially from the `suede` areas.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on the `textile` (mesh) or `leather` sections, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the affected area, then blot dry with a clean cloth.
  3. Suede Care: For `suede` elements, use a specialized suede brush or eraser to remove scuffs and dirt. Avoid excessive moisture, as it can stain suede.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape if desired.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry your sneakers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
