FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear for active children?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 shoes are specifically designed with durable materials and advanced cushioning (ABZORB and SBS) to provide comfort and support for active children during their daily activities and play.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and refer to the New Balance kids' size chart. Allow a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth.
Can these shoes be worn for sports activities?
While not specialized sports shoes, the 9060 offers good cushioning, stability, and grip, making them suitable for general active play, running, and light sports activities for kids.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic suede and mesh, offering a balance of breathability, flexibility, and durability for active use.
Are the New Balance 9060 shoes waterproof?
The New Balance 9060 shoes are not designed to be waterproof. They offer standard protection against light moisture, but heavy rain or submersion should be avoided to prevent water damage and maintain shoe integrity. Info needed: Specific water resistance level.
How often should I clean these shoes?
The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe down after each use can help. For more active use or visible dirt, a thorough cleaning as outlined in the 'Care' section is recommended as needed.
Troubleshooting
My child's shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Have your child try the shoes on with the type of socks they typically wear. If still uncomfortable, consider checking New Balance's size guide or consulting a specialist for a proper fitting.
The shoes get dirty very quickly.
Kids' shoes are prone to getting dirty during active play. Regular light cleaning after each use with a damp cloth can prevent dirt buildup. For synthetic suede, use a soft brush to remove dried mud before wiping.
My child complains of discomfort after wearing them for a while.
First, check for proper fit and ensure laces aren't too tight or loose. Inspect the inside of the shoe for any foreign objects or bunched socks. If discomfort persists, ensure the shoe size is appropriate for their foot growth, as kids' feet change rapidly.
The outsole grip seems to be less effective.
Dirt and debris can accumulate on the outsole, reducing grip. Clean the diamond outsole pattern thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any embedded grime. If the outsole is excessively worn, the shoes may need replacing for optimal safety and performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your New Balance 9060 shoes is as simple as lacing them up. Ensure your child's foot is properly seated within the shoe, and the laces are tied securely but not too tightly, allowing for comfortable movement without slipping.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for kids (specifically size 5 UK in this variant, but available in various children's sizes) and feature a unisex design, making them suitable for all children. They are ideal for everyday wear, light athletic activities, and casual outings.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 9060 shoes:
- Spot Cleaning: For surface dirt and stains on the synthetic suede and mesh upper, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove loose dirt and debris from the synthetic suede sections.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher dirt on the outsole, use a brush with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
