FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the 'Grey Day 2023' colorway?
The 'Grey Day 2023' colorway draws inspiration from the concept of a 'grey day,' featuring muted tones and subtle detailing to create a sophisticated and understated aesthetic.
Are these shoes suitable for serious athletic training?
The New Balance 9060 is designed for versatile use, including running and casual wear. While comfortable for light running, they are best suited for everyday activities and lighter athletic pursuits rather than intense, high-performance training.
What materials are typically used in the 'Grey Day 2023' model?
This model often features a combination of leather and/or suede, along with synthetic materials for the sole and midsole, offering a balance of style and durability.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'micro-waved toe' refer to?
The 'micro-waved toe' refers to a design feature that enhances flexibility and protection in the toe box area of the sneaker.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
While the sole offers slip resistance, the shoe materials (especially suede) are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain the shoe's condition.
Are there other color options available for the 9060 series?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is available in various colorways and material combinations beyond the 'Grey Day 2023' theme.

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Consider trying on different sizes or consulting the New Balance size chart. Different materials (leather vs. suede) might offer a slightly different fit.
Material appears worn or stained
Follow the care instructions for cleaning specific materials. Use appropriate cleaners for leather or suede and address stains promptly.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
