FAQs
What is the primary use of the New Balance 9060 Sneaker?
These sneakers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering a stylish look and comfortable feel for daily activities and urban environments.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While drawing from running heritage, the 9060 is a fashion-focused sneaker and not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic sports. For serious running, New Balance offers specialized performance footwear.
How do I clean my New Balance 9060 Sneakers?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for mesh uppers and leather overlays. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. For detailed care, refer to the 'Care Instructions' section above.
What does ABZORB sole unit mean?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact and enhance comfort.
Is the sizing standard for the 9060 model?
Info needed: While generally true to size, fit can vary. We recommend consulting New Balance's official sizing guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes.
What materials are used in the construction of the 9060?
The New Balance 9060 features mesh uppers for breathability, leather overlays for support and durability, an EVA midsole, an ABZORB sole unit for cushioning, and a rubber outsole for traction.
Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?
The mesh and leather construction is not fully waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, it is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials and prolong their lifespan. Consider applying a water-resistant spray for added protection.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. New Balance shoes may require a short break-in period. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half size up.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by air trapped in the sole or friction between components. Try removing the insole and dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of baby powder to reduce friction. If the squeaking persists, it may be a manufacturing characteristic.
Material (mesh/leather) appears discolored or stained.
Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for appropriate cleaning methods based on the material type. Act quickly on spills to prevent permanent stains. For deep-seated stains, a professional sneaker cleaner may be required.
Sole shows excessive wear quickly.
The rubber outsole is designed for durability in casual use. Excessive wear might indicate the shoes are being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., intense sports) or an atypical gait. Ensure regular cleaning to prevent abrasive dirt from accelerating wear.
Logos or branding peeling.
Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on branded areas during cleaning. Protect the shoes from extreme heat, which can affect adhesives. If peeling occurs, it may be a manufacturing issue, and you should consult the retailer.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the aesthetic and longevity of your New Balance 9060 Sneakers, which feature mesh uppers and leather overlays.
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a sneaker-specific cleaning solution designed for mixed materials. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, focusing on soiled areas.
- Drying: Always allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and mesh to offer an extra layer of protection against elements and spills.
