FAQs
What age group are these trainers best suited for?
The New Balance 9060 Trainers are designed for kids, typically fitting into the 'kids' age group for general wear and style.
How do the ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies work?
ABZORB cushioning absorbs impact and provides a responsive feel, while SBS (Shaston Blown) is a heel cushioning insert that enhances shock absorption and stability.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While they offer good comfort and support for casual activities and light play, they are primarily designed for style and everyday wear rather than specialized sports training.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water on suede as much as possible.
What is the main design inspiration for the 9060 series?
The 9060 series is inspired by the refined style and innovation of the classic 99X series, reinterpreted with a Y2K-era aesthetic featuring visible tech and futuristic elements.

Yes, the 9060 trainers feature a unisex design, making them suitable for children of all genders.
What does 'MPN' stand for?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. It is a unique identifier for the specific product model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear too tight or loose.
Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Dirt or stains on the suede or leather.
For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult specific cleaning guides for each material.
Soles feel stiff initially.
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time until they feel more flexible.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure socks are worn and are of appropriate thickness. Check for any internal seams or tags that may be causing irritation. Try adjusting the lacing.
