FAQs
Are New Balance 9060s suitable for running or sports?
While providing excellent comfort and cushioning, the New Balance 9060 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers great support for daily wear and walking but is not specifically engineered for high-impact running or intense athletic activities.
How do I know what size to get?
New Balance 9060s generally fit true to size. For the most accurate fit, we recommend referring to New Balance's official size guide or trying them on if possible, especially if you are between sizes.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The premium leather material offers some natural water resistance. However, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to prevent damage to the leather and maintain the shoe's integrity. Applying a water-resistant spray designed for leather can offer additional protection.
What is the difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact and reduce stress on your joints. SBS cushioning is a non-cellular insert that enhances stability and provides an additional layer of plush comfort, working together with ABZORB for an exceptionally comfortable ride.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
Cleaning should be done as needed, ideally with a quick wipe down after each wear if they get dirty. Conditioning the leather is recommended every 1-3 months, depending on how frequently you wear them and the environmental conditions, to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the area with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore shine and moisturize the material. For minor scuffs, a leather balm or polish matching the shoe's colour can be used sparingly.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. If discomfort persists, consider trying different insoles for personalized arch support.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or air trapped underneath the insole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baby powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your New Balance 9060s, simply lace them up to your desired tightness. The design accommodates various lacing styles, so feel free to experiment for both comfort and aesthetic. Ensure a snug but not overly tight fit to allow for natural foot movement and to fully benefit from the cushioning.

These trainers are incredibly versatile, pairing well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. Their grey leather finish makes them a sophisticated choice for jeans, chinos, joggers, and even some tailored trousers. The unisex design ensures they complement any wardrobe, while their Y2K-inspired silhouette adds a modern edge to classic looks. They are ideal for urban environments, casual social gatherings, and everyday wear.
Care
Maintaining the premium leather of your New Balance 9060s is crucial for their longevity and appearance:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying a small amount to a clean cloth and rubbing gently in circular motions. Always follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Conditioning: To prevent the leather from drying out, cracking, or losing its luster, apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months. This helps to moisturize and protect the material.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to add an extra layer of protection against elements and accidental spills.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
