FAQs

Are these New Balance 9060 trainers suitable for running?

While rooted in running heritage and featuring advanced cushioning, the New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. For serious running, New Balance offers specialized performance running shoes.

How do I determine my size?

New Balance shoes generally run true to size. We recommend referring to the official New Balance size chart or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

What makes the cushioning in the 9060 special?

The 9060 combines ABZORB and SBS cushioning in the sole unit with an EVA midsole. ABZORB provides superior shock absorption, SBS offers enhanced stability and comfort, and EVA contributes lightweight, flexible cushioning for an all-around comfortable experience.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The mixed material upper, including mesh and leather overlays, means these trainers are not fully waterproof. While they can handle light rain, prolonged exposure to heavy wet conditions is not recommended and may affect material integrity. For suede variants, wet weather should be avoided or protective sprays used.

How do I clean the different materials on the upper?

For mesh, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe and air dry. For leather overlays, use a damp cloth; a specialized leather cleaner can be used for tougher stains. Always air dry away from heat. Avoid machine washing.

Do these trainers require a break-in period?

Like many new shoes, the 9060 may feel a bit stiff initially. A short break-in period of wearing them for a few hours at a time will allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot, enhancing comfort.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new footwear. Wear your trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape. The cushioning will adapt over time.

Mesh or leather appears dirty or scuffed.

For mesh, gently clean with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean and air dry. For leather, use a damp cloth; consider a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks. For suede variants, use a suede brush and cleaner.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning beneath them, and applying a thin layer of talcum powder or fabric softener sheet underneath before reinserting them.

Trainers develop an odor.

Ensure trainers are fully dry after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started

Your New Balance 9060 Trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness for a secure and comfortable fit.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of styles:

  • Casual Wear: Pair with jeans, cargo pants, shorts, or joggers for a relaxed, everyday look.
  • Smart Casual: They can elevate an outfit consisting of chinos, tailored trousers, or a casual dress/skirt, adding a modern, sporty touch.
  • Seasonality: Suitable for most seasons, though specific care should be taken in very wet conditions due to the mixed materials.

Product Care

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

  1. General Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust using a soft-bristled brush.
  2. Mesh Uppers: For dirt or stains on the mesh, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and a soft cloth or brush. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe with a damp cloth to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  3. Leather Overlays: Clean leather portions with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  4. Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove grime and maintain traction.
  5. Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not wash your trainers in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials and construction.
