New Balance 9060 - Black - Size 5

While the 9060 offers excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday wear sneaker, suitable for casual walks and light activities. For serious running, New Balance offers specialized performance running shoes.

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam that provides superior shock absorption. SBS cushioning is a non-cellular insert that offers additional cushioning and stability, working together to deliver a comfortable and supportive ride.

The New Balance 9060 generally fits true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, or consulting a New Balance sizing chart if purchasing online. Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, especially due to the pigskin suede components, which can be damaged by water saturation and harsh detergents. Hand cleaning is advised.

The translucent CR device on the heel is a stability feature that helps control motion and provides rearfoot support, contributing to a more stable and controlled stride, inspired by the brand's heritage models.

The upper of the New Balance 9060 is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and premium pigskin suede overlays for added durability and a distinctive texture.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the laces, loosening them initially. Allow for a short break-in period, as materials can soften with wear.

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a high-quality suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid water saturation on suede.

Try using a double knot technique. Ensure laces are pulled firmly and evenly when tying. Laces can sometimes stretch over time; consider replacing them if they remain problematic.

Check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the diamond pattern thoroughly to ensure maximum contact with the ground. If the sole is significantly worn, traction will naturally decrease.

Ensure laces are tied securely to lock your foot in place. Verify the fit; if the shoe is too large, your foot may slide. Consider trying different socks or insoles if the issue persists.
