FAQs
What does '99X series inspired' mean for the 9060?
The 9060 draws its design ethos and certain visual cues from New Balance's celebrated 99X series. This means it incorporates a legacy of innovative design and comfort, reinterpreted for a contemporary aesthetic, offering a blend of retro-futuristic style.
What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides optimal shock absorption and cushioning. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a non-cellular rubber compound that enhances stability and offers additional cushioning, working together to deliver a comfortable and supportive experience.
Are these trainers suitable for running or gym workouts?
While the 9060s offer excellent cushioning and comfort for daily wear and light activity, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance running, intense gym workouts, or specialized athletic training. For those activities, New Balance offers other models better suited for specific performance needs.
How do I determine my correct size?
New Balance 9060 Trainers generally fit true to size. We recommend trying them on if possible. Alternatively, measure your foot length and refer to the official New Balance size chart. If you are between sizes, consider going up half a size for more comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I put my 9060 Trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash your New Balance 9060 Trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Always opt for spot cleaning by hand, following the care instructions outlined in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section, especially for suede and mixed textures.
What materials are typically used in the New Balance 9060?
The 9060 series commonly features a combination of premium materials. This includes a breathable mesh upper for ventilation, synthetic overlays for structural support, and often suede accents for a luxurious touch and mixed texture aesthetic. The sole typically uses rubber for traction and durability, encasing the ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too snug or uncomfortable after initial wear.
New trainers, especially with mixed materials, may require a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations, allowing the materials to adapt to your foot. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, double-check your sizing against New Balance's size guide.
Noticeable dirt or scuffs on the mixed material upper.
For mesh and synthetic areas, gently clean with a soft brush or cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution. For suede sections, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking, particularly on suede.
Slight squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes occur with new shoes. Check if it's the insole rubbing against the sole; try removing and reinserting the insole. If it persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole might help. Ensure laces are tied appropriately, as a loose fit can also cause minor friction sounds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Your New Balance 9060 Trainers require no elaborate setup. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, insert your feet, and adjust the lacing for a snug, comfortable fit. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility
- Footwear: These trainers are designed for casual and lifestyle wear. They are compatible with various sock types, from athletic to no-show, depending on personal preference and weather.
- Wardrobe: The unisex design and neutral color palette (e.g., Brown) make them highly compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, including jeans, chinos, shorts, skirts, and dresses for a modern, relaxed aesthetic.
- Activities: Best suited for daily wear, walking, commuting, social gatherings, and light recreational activities. Not recommended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 9060 Trainers:
- General Cleaning: For most dirt and surface grime on the mesh and synthetic parts, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water). Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Suede Sections: If your trainers have suede components (many variants do), use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar dabbed with a clean cloth can be used very carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water on suede.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. You can also use sneaker deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials to help protect against elements and spills.
