FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 true to size?

Generally, New Balance 9060 sneakers are considered true to size. We recommend ordering your usual sneaker size for the best fit. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.

Can I use these sneakers for running or other sports?

While the 9060 draws inspiration from running heritage and features advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. It offers excellent comfort for everyday wear and walking, but it is not optimized for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede and mesh materials on my 9060s?

For suede, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For mesh, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

What kind of outfits pair well with the 9060's unique design?

The 9060's bold and futuristic aesthetic makes it versatile. It pairs well with casual wear like jeans and shorts, streetwear including baggy trousers and hoodies, and can even elevate smart-casual looks with tailored pants.

What is the benefit of ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB cushioning is a blend of foam and compression set, providing superior shock absorption. SBS is a non-cellular foam compound that delivers exceptional cushioning and comfort, contributing to a stable and comfortable stride, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.

Is the New Balance 9060 suitable for all seasons?

The blend of mesh, leather, and suede makes it suitable for most seasons. However, given the suede components, it's best to avoid heavy rain or snow, or apply a water-repellent spray for protection in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

While generally comfortable from the start, wear them for short periods (1-2 hours) over a few days to allow the materials and cushioning to fully adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps lift dirt and restore the texture. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be used.

Shoes get wet and stained.

If possible, apply a water and stain repellent spray (suitable for suede and mesh) before first wear. If already wet, gently blot excess water with a clean cloth, then stuff with paper towels and air dry away from heat. For stains, follow spot cleaning guidelines for specific materials once dry.

Creases forming on leather overlays.

Creasing is natural with wear on leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing. For existing creases, apply a small amount of leather conditioner and gently massage it in.

Squeaking sound from the sole.

This can sometimes be caused by trapped moisture or friction. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. If the issue persists, inspect for any loose sole components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your New Balance 9060 Sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness. The padded collar offers immediate comfort, and the blend of materials is designed to conform to your foot over time with minimal break-in required.

  1. Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. Ensure your foot feels secure, especially around the midfoot.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot's shape, though significant break-in is typically not needed.

Compatibility

The distinctive design of the 9060 allows for broad compatibility with various fashion styles:

  • Casual: Pair with jeans, cargo pants, or shorts for an effortless everyday look.
  • Streetwear: Complement baggy trousers, oversized hoodies, or graphic tees to lean into its Y2K aesthetic.
  • Smart-Casual: Combine with tailored trousers or chinos and a smart jacket for a contemporary, elevated outfit.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 9060 sneakers, especially given their suede and leather components.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe affected areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially on suede.
  2. Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. A suede eraser can help with stubborn marks. Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against stains and water.
  3. Leather Overlays: Wipe leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, a mild leather cleaner can be used, followed by a conditioner.
  4. Mesh Uppers: Gently clean mesh with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Rinse with a damp cloth.
  5. Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap to clean the rubber outsole and EVA midsole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  6. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
  7. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Do not machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers. This can cause damage to the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
