FAQs

What is the primary material of the New Balance 9060 Grey?

The New Balance 9060 Grey features a high-quality suede upper, providing a premium look and feel.

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?

While comfortable and supportive, the New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive training.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Regularly brush with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Is the sizing true to fit?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent. This model is UK 6.5. We recommend referring to the official New Balance size chart and considering your usual sneaker size.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. We highly recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray to protect the shoes. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What kind of cushioning technology is used?

The New Balance 9060 incorporates both ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms in its sculpted pod midsole, designed for enhanced comfort and shock absorption.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is available in various colorways beyond grey. Please check with your retailer for current stock and availability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper dirt, try a suede eraser.

Shoes feel too snug or loose

Adjust the lacing system. If still uncomfortable, verify you have the correct size by referring to a New Balance size guide or trying them on at a retailer.

Squeaking sound while walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole.

Unpleasant odor develops

Remove insoles and air out shoes after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Suede discolors or fades

Protect shoes from prolonged direct sunlight. For existing fading, a suede dye or recoloring product designed for shoes may be an option, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions

Maintaining your suede New Balance 9060s will ensure their longevity and appearance. Suede is a delicate material that requires specific care.

  1. Water and Stain Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, use a suede eraser to gently rub away marks. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner foam or solution can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth, following product instructions.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
