FAQs

What age group is the New Balance 9060 designed for?

The New Balance 9060 trainers highlighted in this guide are specifically designed for kids, available in various children's sizes.

What are the main cushioning technologies used?

These trainers utilize New Balance's signature ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms for enhanced comfort and shock absorption.

How should I clean these trainers?

It is recommended to clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While they offer comfort and cushioning suitable for light recreational activities and everyday wear, they are primarily designed with a fashion-forward aesthetic inspired by the Y2K era, blending style with comfort.

What does 'Y2K-inspired' mean for the design?

It refers to a design aesthetic influenced by the early 2000s, characterized by visible technology, bold proportions, and a futuristic look, which is reflected in the warped elements and sculpted midsole of the 9060.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Measure your child's foot length accurately, ideally in the afternoon, and compare it to New Balance's sizing chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can these trainers be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the design is unisex, making them suitable for any child regardless of gender.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try inserting a talc-free powder or a thin insert under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the laces are tied correctly without being overly tight.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean any marks promptly with a damp cloth. For suede parts, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally reduce with extensive use. Ensure the correct size is worn, as an ill-fitting shoe can exacerbate this. For minor loss of comfort, ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with similar New Balance laces or any standard shoelaces of appropriate length and thickness. Ensure knots are not tied excessively tight during wear.
