New Balance 9060 Sneaker - Beige - UK 12

Generally, the New Balance 9060 tends to fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal preference for fit can vary. If you're between sizes or have wider feet, you might consider trying a half-size up for optimal comfort, though this specific variant is UK 14.

The New Balance 9060 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, offering excellent comfort for everyday wear. While its design is inspired by running shoes, it is not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic sports. For those activities, New Balance offers dedicated performance running shoes.

For mesh, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution and water. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For deeper stains, a suede cleaner can be applied carefully. Always air dry away from direct heat.

No, the New Balance 9060, particularly with its mesh and suede construction, is not waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions should be avoided to protect the materials. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection in light moisture.

The earthy "Mushroom" colorway (beige, brown, gray) is highly versatile. It complements neutral tones, denim, cargo pants, and olive greens exceptionally well. It's ideal for casual, streetwear, techwear, and gorpcore aesthetics, easily integrating into autumn and winter wardrobes or providing a subtle, natural accent in spring and summer.

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides excellent cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact. SBS cushioning is a non-cellular foam compound that enhances stability and shock absorption, particularly in the heel. Together, they create a highly comfortable and supportive experience.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product instructions. A suede eraser can also help with scuffs.

While the mesh offers breathability, ensure you're wearing appropriate socks made of moisture-wicking materials (like cotton blends or synthetics) to help manage foot temperature. Avoid overly thick socks.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the issue persists, check if the tongue or laces are rubbing.

Experiment with different lacing techniques; a slightly looser lace-up can alleviate a feeling of constriction. Pair them with baggier or wider-leg pants/jeans to balance the silhouette and integrate the chunkiness into your overall look more harmoniously.

For light scuffs on the rubber or EVA midsole, a magic eraser (melamine foam) can often remove them. Gently rub the scuffed area with a damp magic eraser. Avoid using it on the suede or mesh parts.
