FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the New Balance 9060 offers good cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or casual trainers rather than high-performance running shoes for intense training.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid soaking the suede.

What does the 'Grey Day 2023' signify?

'Grey Day' is an annual celebration by New Balance dedicated to the brand's iconic grey colorways. The '2023' indicates the specific release year.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede components. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The durable rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction and resistance to wear, making it suitable for everyday activities and varied surfaces.

What is the fit like for the New Balance 9060?

The fit is generally considered true to size for many, but due to the design and materials, some may prefer to try them on or consult sizing charts carefully. They offer a secure fit with a padded collar for comfort.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed with a combination of mesh for breathability and suede overlays for a premium look and feel.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes happen due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try ensuring the insoles are properly seated or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure you are using a secure knot when tying your laces. Consider using a double knot for extra security.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.

Dirt on suede sections

Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
