FAQs
What age group are these sneakers designed for?
These New Balance 9060 sneakers are specifically designed for kids, offering features and sizing appropriate for growing feet.
Are these shoes suitable for specialized sports activities?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support suitable for active play and general use, the New Balance 9060 are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday activities, rather than specialized sports performance like basketball or running competitions.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It is highly recommended to measure your child's foot length accurately and compare it to the official New Balance kids' size chart to ensure the best and most comfortable fit. Kids' feet grow rapidly, so re-measuring periodically is wise.
What type of cushioning technology do these sneakers use?
The New Balance 9060 features the brand's well-known ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms, providing superior comfort and effective impact absorption.
Can these sneakers be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 is designed as a unisex shoe, making it suitable for all kids regardless of gender.
How should I clean the black suede upper?
For black suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.
What does 'Y2K-inspired aesthetic' mean for these shoes?
The 'Y2K-inspired aesthetic' refers to the design influence from the early 2000s, characterized by bold, futuristic elements, warped proportions, and visible technology. This gives the 9060 a distinctive and forward-looking appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner as directed by the product instructions. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for your child's foot. If the issue persists, verify that the correct size has been purchased by measuring your child's foot and comparing it to New Balance's size chart. Children's feet grow quickly, so regular checks are recommended.
A squeaking sound comes from the shoe.
Check if the insole is properly seated or if there's any debris trapped underneath it. Sometimes, a light sprinkling of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can help reduce friction and eliminate squeaking.

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 sneakers, especially those with a suede upper, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft suede brush. For tougher spots or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp, clean cloth, dabbing gently rather than rubbing. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape.
