What are ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer. While they offer good cushioning for walking and daily wear, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the green suede material?
Gently brush the suede with a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the material. Always allow suede to air dry completely.

Yes, the 9060 series is available in various colorways. This guide specifically details the Green multi suede variant, but other options may exist.
What does 'chunky trainers' refer to in this context?

Can men and women wear the same New Balance 9060 trainers?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 is often considered a unisex model. While specific colorways and sizing might be marketed towards a particular gender, the design itself is suitable for anyone, with options available across a wide range of adult sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust lacing to provide more or less snugness. If the fit is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Suede appears discolored or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water unless absolutely necessary and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Ensure the shoes are not being overused without rest. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain the integrity of the cushioning materials. If the shoes are heavily worn, it may be time to consider replacement.
Visible wear on the outsole.
Rotate your footwear to distribute wear. For minor wear, you might consider sole protectors if available. Significant outsole wear may indicate the end of the shoe's effective lifespan for intensive use.
