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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The distinctive design of the 9060 allows for broad compatibility with various fashion styles:
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 9060 sneakers, especially given their suede and leather components.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers. This can cause damage to the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
