FAQs
What is the primary inspiration behind the New Balance 9060 Trainers?
The New Balance 9060 Trainers are inspired by the Y2K era, reinterpreting familiar elements from the classic 99X series with a focus on visible technology and futuristic aesthetics.
What cushioning technologies are used in the 9060?
The 9060 features New Balance's ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms, designed to provide superior shock absorption and comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 9060 offers excellent cushioning for everyday wear and walking, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not optimized for high-performance running.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with a mild suede cleaner is recommended, followed by air drying. Avoid excessive water.
What does 'sway bars' refer to in the description?
Sway bars are design elements inspired by the 990 model, expanded and integrated into the upper of the 9060 to create a sense of motion and visual dynamism.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede material is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may damage the suede.
Are these trainers available in different sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 Trainers are available in a range of adult unisex sizes. Please check the product listing for specific available sizes.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution designed for suede, then allow to air dry completely. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are wearing out
Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure the new laces are of a similar length and material for optimal fit and appearance.
Discomfort after initial wear
Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. If discomfort persists, consult the retailer or manufacturer.
Midsole appears scuffed
Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface scuffs. For tougher marks, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner for midsoles can be effective. Be gentle to avoid damaging the material.
