FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While rooted in running heritage, the New Balance 9060 is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and comfort, not high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I choose the correct size?
The New Balance 9060 generally fits true to size. However, for the most accurate fit, it's recommended to try them on. This specific variant is listed as UK size 5 for adult females. Info needed: Consult a New Balance official size chart for specific measurements.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The combination of mesh and leather materials, along with the advanced sole unit, can be damaged by machine washing. Spot clean by hand as detailed in the care section.
What is the ABZORB sole unit?
`ABZORB` is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact during movement.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper features a combination of breathable `mesh uppers` for ventilation and `leather overlays` for support and a premium aesthetic.
Is this model available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is typically available in a range of colors and sizes, including unisex and male variants. Info needed: Check product listings for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you have the correct size; New Balance sizes can vary slightly, so try on both shoes and walk around. Info needed: Consult a New Balance size guide if unsure about your fit.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur if there's friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and placing a thin layer of baby powder or fabric softener sheet underneath. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole on certain surfaces.
Discoloration or staining on materials
Address stains promptly. For mesh, use a mild soap and water solution. For leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the material finish. Prevention is key: consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed materials.
Soles feel less cushioned over time
The `EVA` and `ABZORB` midsoles are designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can lead to compression. While not easily reversible, extending the shoe's life can be achieved by rotating it with other footwear, giving the cushioning time to decompress.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 sneakers.

- For `leather overlays`: Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap. Wipe gently and dry immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Lace Care: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water if they become dirty.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or discoloration. Do not put them in a dryer.

- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the entire shoe in water, especially due to the mixed materials (mesh, leather).
