FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids and feature children's sizing.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 9060 model generally offers a standard fit. While they are designed for comfort, children with particularly wide feet may want to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB and SBS cushioning provide excellent shock absorption and support, offering comfort and reducing impact during physical activities.
How do I ensure I am buying the correct size?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe. Compare this measurement to the New Balance sizing chart available on their website or in-store.
What inspired the design of the 9060?
The design is inspired by the refined style and innovation of the classic 99X series, reinterpreted with a Y2K-era aesthetic featuring warped proportions and visible technology.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from nylon and other materials suitable for general wear and light weather conditions, but not for submersion in water.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or too loose
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot accurately. Adjust laces for a snug, comfortable fit.
Dirt and scuffs on the upper
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
This is normal wear and tear. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity. Consider if a larger size is needed due to foot growth.
Odors inside the trainer
Remove insoles (if possible) and allow to air dry. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors, then shake out in the morning. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
