FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 9060 features ABZORB and SBS cushioning for comfort and support, making them suitable for casual wear and light jogging. However, they are not specifically designed as performance running shoes for marathon distances, which typically require specialized, highly technical footwear.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a soft brush or a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What does the translucent CR device on the heel do?
The translucent CR device on the heel is a structural element that contributes to motion control and provides a distinctive, modern aesthetic, nodding to the 99X series heritage.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 9060 trainers, as this can damage the materials, especially the suede and cushioning. Hand-washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the main difference between the 9060 and other New Balance series like the 990 or 574?
The 9060 stands out with its exaggerated design, inspired by the Y2K era and 99X series, featuring a dual-density midsole with ABZORB and SBS cushioning and a unique CR device. Other series like the 990 focus on timeless stability and support, while the 574 offers classic, versatile everyday style.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The trainers feature a standard width. While the lace closure allows for some adjustability, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's often best to try them on in person if possible, or check for specific wide-fit options if available.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time
The cushioning may compress with extended use. Ensure the shoes are not overused for high-impact activities and consider rotating with another pair of footwear.
Traction is slipping on smooth surfaces
The diamond outsole pattern may become less effective if clogged with debris or worn down. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If significant wear is visible, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort or rubbing at the heel
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. The translucent CR device is designed to be firm; breaking in the shoes gradually can help alleviate rubbing.

Care Instructions:
