FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole is designed to absorb impact and provide superior cushioning, offering comfort and reducing stress on the feet during activity.

Can these shoes be used for intense athletic training?

The New Balance 9060 Castlerock is optimized for running and general comfort. For high-intensity training or sports requiring specific support, specialized athletic shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart, which typically provides measurements to help you match your foot length to the corresponding UK size.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material integrity and comfort.

What does the 'Castlerock' in the name refer to?

'Castlerock' refers to the specific colorway of this New Balance 9060 model, characterized by its grey and blue tones with black accents.

How does the 9060 compare to other New Balance series?

The 9060 combines design elements from heritage models like the 990 and 991 with a modern, exaggerated sole unit, offering a distinct aesthetic and advanced cushioning compared to more traditional series.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

The shoe may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Laces feel insecure

Ensure laces are tied tightly. Consider using a double knot or replacing laces if they are worn out.

Discoloration on mesh areas

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
