FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 trainers good for running?
The 9060 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering significant comfort and support. They are not optimized for high-impact running and specialized running shoes are recommended for that purpose.
What does the Y2K influence mean for the design?
The Y2K influence refers to design elements inspired by fashion and technology from the early 2000s. For the 9060, this translates to exaggerated proportions, visible tech details, and a blend of familiar shapes with futuristic twists.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart available on their official website. It typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches to help you find the best fit for your foot length.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam that offers shock absorption and cushioning. SBS (Strobel Sidewall Bottom) refers to a cushioning technology incorporated into the sole construction for enhanced comfort and stability.
How often should I clean my 9060 trainers?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down of the soles and occasional brushing of the suede is recommended. Deep cleaning should be performed when the shoes appear visibly dirty or stained.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try checking the insole and ensure it is seated correctly. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Tight fit or discomfort
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. If the shoes remain uncomfortable, consider using thicker socks for initial wear or exploring aftermarket insoles for a custom fit.
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a suede cleaning guide for appropriate methods and products. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces fraying easily
Replace the laces with new ones of similar material and length. Consider using waxed laces for increased durability.

Care:
