FAQs
Are New Balance 9060 sneakers suitable for running?
While rooted in running heritage, the New Balance 9060 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual shoe. Its advanced cushioning provides excellent comfort for everyday wear and walking, but it is not optimized for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I determine my size for the New Balance 9060?
The New Balance 9060 generally fits true to size. We recommend ordering your usual sneaker size. If you are unsure, you can refer to the New Balance size chart or measure your foot length and compare it. Info needed: [Provide a link to the New Balance official size guide if available.]
What materials are used in the construction of the New Balance 9060?
The New Balance 9060 features breathable mesh uppers, premium leather overlays, an EVA midsole, an ABZORB sole unit for cushioning, and a durable rubber outsole for traction.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 9060 sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the sneakers. Please follow the 'Care & Maintenance' instructions for proper cleaning.
How do I protect my New Balance 9060s from water and stains?
For leather overlays, consider using a specialized leather protector spray. For mesh sections, a general sneaker protector spray can offer some resistance to water and stains. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the ABZORB sole unit?
The ABZORB sole unit is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that combines foam cushioning and compression set resistance properties to absorb impact, providing exceptional comfort and energy return.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from the sole
This can sometimes occur if there's trapped moisture or friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning the inside of the shoe and the insoles, letting them dry completely, and then reinserting. A thin layer of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Scuff marks on leather overlays
For light scuffs, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers, followed by a leather conditioner. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair specialist.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The 9060 generally fits true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Try wearing them with different socks to see if it improves. If discomfort persists, check if the lacing is too tight or unevenly distributed.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoes
Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees can also help absorb moisture and odors.
Mesh appears dirty or discolored
Gently clean the mesh with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth, as described in the 'Care & Maintenance' section. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can damage the mesh fibers.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 9060 sneakers. Given the combination of mesh and leather, specific attention is required.
General Cleaning
- Remove Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove any loose dirt or dust from the mesh, leather, and sole.
- Prepare Cleaning Solution: Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with warm water.
- Clean Uppers: Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the cleaning solution and gently wipe down the mesh sections. For leather overlays, use a separate, slightly damp cloth with minimal solution to avoid oversaturating the leather. Wipe gently in small sections.
- Rinse & Wipe: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off any soap residue.
- Dry: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Specific Care Tips
- Leather Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers to keep them fresh.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
