How do I clean my New Balance 9060 trainers?

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

The Y2K-inspired design refers to a proudly futuristic, visible tech aesthetic with scaled-up proportions, wavy lines, and a chunky silhouette that was popular around the turn of the millennium.

Do these shoes provide good support for active children?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 features ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms, specifically designed to offer unmatched comfort and support for active kids during various activities.

Will these trainers be too heavy for my child?

While the 9060 model features a chunky design with scaled-up proportions, its construction aims to balance style with wearability. The weight is typical for a supportive kids' trainer of this style, but it might feel different from lighter, minimalist options. Ensure the fit is correct for optimal comfort.

Troubleshooting

My child finds the shoes too bulky or heavy.

The New Balance 9060 features a distinct chunky design and scaled-up proportions, which is part of its Y2K-inspired style. This aesthetic may feel different compared to more minimalist trainers. Ensure the shoes are properly sized for your child, as an incorrect size can exacerbate feelings of bulkiness. Allow some time for your child to adjust to the unique fit and feel.

The shoes appear dirty after active play.

For light dirt, wipe the synthetic suede and mesh with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn grime, consult the care label inside the shoe for specific cleaning instructions. Always use gentle cleaning methods suitable for the materials to avoid damage. Air dry completely before next use.

My child's feet are still uncomfortable despite the cushioning.

First, double-check that the shoe size is correct for your child; ill-fitting shoes can cause discomfort regardless of cushioning. Ensure they are wearing appropriate socks. While the ABZORB and SBS cushioning is designed for comfort, every foot is different. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a professional for an assessment of fit.
