Yes, with their dual-density cushioning and durable construction, the New Balance 9060 are ideal for daily wear, playground fun, and various casual activities.

How do I clean the leather upper of these shoes?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically formulated for leather. Avoid harsh chemicals and always air dry away from direct heat.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance-exclusive foam material that provides excellent cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact forces and reduce stress on the feet during activity.

Are these shoes true to size?

New Balance shoes typically run true to size. However, it's always recommended to consult a size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit for your child.

What is the 'sculpted pod midsole' and how does it benefit my child?

The sculpted pod midsole is a unique design feature that contributes to the shoe's energetic and 'bouncy' feel. It enhances cushioning and responsiveness, making movement more comfortable and enjoyable for active kids.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. New shoes may require a short break-in period. Check the lacing; try loosening or re-tying them for a more comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or consulting a footwear specialist.

Leather appears dull or dirty.

Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. After cleaning, you may apply a leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness.

Outsole loses grip or becomes slippery.

Regularly clean the diamond-patterned outsole to remove trapped dirt, mud, or debris that can reduce traction. Use a brush to clean the grooves thoroughly. If the outsole is excessively worn, it might be time for a new pair.

Squeaking sound from the sole.

This can sometimes occur if the insole shifts or due to moisture. Try removing the insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe, and letting it dry completely. Reinsert the insole, or try a different insole if the issue continues.

Care

Given the leather material, proper care will help maintain the shoes' appearance and extend their lifespan:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather footwear.
  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
  3. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack or warp the leather.
  4. Conditioning (Optional): Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  5. Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean dirt and debris from the diamond-patterned outsole to maintain optimal traction.
