FAQs
What materials are used in the New Balance 9060 Kids' Trainers?
These trainers typically feature a combination of leather, suede, and nylon on the upper, with a rubber outsole and ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies in the midsole.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 9060 Kids' Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear, comfort, and light activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Consider the specific measurements for kids' trainers, as sizing can vary between models and age groups. Purchasing based on a recent measurement is advisable.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners is the preferred method.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the official New Balance website for details on warranty coverage.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the Black/Grey colorway, the New Balance 9060 series is often available in various color options. Check with retailers or the New Balance website for current availability.
How does the 'Y2K aesthetic' influence the design?
The Y2K influence is seen in the exaggerated proportions, wavy lines, visible tech elements like the expanded sway bars, and the overall chunky silhouette, drawing inspiration from early 2000s design trends.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Loosen the laces for more room or tighten them for a snugger fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on accurate foot measurements.
Squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to friction between components. Ensure all parts are dry. If the noise persists, try wearing the shoes for a few more days to break them in.
Discoloration on leather or suede.
Use appropriate cleaning agents for the specific material (leather cleaner for leather, suede brush/cleaner for suede). Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels less cushioned over time.
While the cushioning materials are durable, heavy use can reduce their responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., intense sports).

- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the leather, suede, and nylon sections. For stubborn stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner may be used, following the product's instructions.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, use a suede brush to maintain texture and remove surface dirt. Avoid excessive water.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the rubber midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the tread.
