FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 9060 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, featuring ABZORB cushioning for comfort. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic performance like dedicated running shoes.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance size chart available on their official website or consult the retailer's sizing guide. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately and select the corresponding UK size. The model listed is UK 12.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning components. Hand-clean using the methods described in the care section.

What does ABZORB technology do?

ABZORB is a scientifically engineered material used in New Balance midsoles that provides superior shock absorption and cushioning, reducing the impact on your feet and joints.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the 9060 series includes other colorways such as "Khaki", "Grey", "Beige", and "Rich Oak", alongside variations in purple and brown.

Is the fit true to size?

The New Balance 9060 typically offers a regular width and is generally considered to fit true to size for most wearers. However, individual foot shapes can vary, so trying them on or referring to sizing guides is advisable.

Troubleshooting

Laces won't stay tied

Ensure you are using a secure knot. Double-knotting can help if the laces are particularly smooth.

Discomfort after initial wear

This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the fit is correct; the regular width is standard, but adjust lacing for a snug, not tight, fit.

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, consult a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Care:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and damage.
