FAQs

What does ABZORB cushioning do?

ABZORB cushioning is a proprietary New Balance foam that provides superior shock absorption and impact resistance, enhancing overall comfort during wear.

How does SBS cushioning differ from ABZORB?

SBS cushioning complements ABZORB by offering stable and responsive comfort. It's often found in combination with ABZORB to provide a balanced and supportive feel.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 9060 Trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual footwear, offering excellent comfort for everyday wear and light walking. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense sports.

Can I machine wash my 9060 Trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the suede, mesh, cushioning, and adhesives, potentially altering the shoe's shape and durability. Always hand clean following the care instructions.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features a mixed-texture construction, combining breathable mesh with premium suede overlays for both durability and a distinctive aesthetic.

Are New Balance 9060 Trainers true to size?

New Balance typically runs true to size, but fit can vary based on individual foot shape. We recommend selecting your standard UK shoe size. If possible, try them on to ensure the best fit.

Do these trainers require a 'break-in' period?

While comfortable out of the box, like many new shoes, the 9060 Trainers may benefit from a short 'break-in' period of a few wears to fully conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner may be used carefully.

Foot discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure you have the correct size; New Balance trainers should feel snug but not tight. Try adjusting your lacing technique or wearing different thickness socks. Allow a brief 'break-in' period for the shoes to mold to your feet.

Trainers develop an odor.

Regularly air out your trainers after wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure they are fully dry before storage.

Trainer material (suede/mesh) gets wet.

Stuff trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use direct heat sources as this can cause cracking or damage.

Soles feel slippery.

Check the outsole for any debris or smooth worn areas. Ensure the surface you are walking on is appropriate for trainers. Over time, all outsoles will show wear and may lose some traction.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your 9060 Trainers:

  1. General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush the suede with a soft brush or a suede brush. For the mesh and synthetic parts, wipe with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap.
  2. Suede Care: For deeper stains or to restore nap, use a specialized suede cleaner and protector. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and material integrity.
