FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it offers excellent cushioning and support for walking, it is not optimized for high-impact running activities. For running, it is recommended to use shoes specifically designed for that purpose.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to refer to New Balance's official size chart. Consider your typical shoe size in trainers and measure your foot if unsure. Many users find them to fit true to size, but personal preference for fit can vary.

What is the main difference between the 9060 and other New Balance series like the 990?

The 9060 is characterized by its more modern, oversized, and 'techy' aesthetic, drawing inspiration from past models but presenting a bolder, more futuristic look. Older series like the 990 often feature a more classic, understated design with a focus on traditional craftsmanship.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede and mesh materials can be susceptible to water damage and staining. While they offer some protection, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a water-repellent spray can offer additional protection.

What does 'Mushroom Brown' refer to?

Mushroom Brown is the specific colorway of the trainer, describing a shade of brown that is often earthy and muted, sometimes with hints of gray or taupe, reminiscent of natural mushroom tones. It is complemented by suede panels for an elegant finish.

How do I clean the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the foam.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure you are not predominantly walking on one side, which can be due to gait. Clean the sole regularly to ensure the traction pattern is not obstructed.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check if the insoles are correctly positioned.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully. Avoid wearing in wet conditions.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace frayed laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Keep laces tied loosely when storing to reduce stress.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • The 'massive' construction might be too bulky for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The New Balance 9060 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It pairs well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and athleisure wear. The Mushroom Brown color is versatile, complementing neutral tones, darker hues, and even some earth tones.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush or a clean, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying it sparingly and following product instructions. Always brush in one direction once dry.
  2. Cleaning Mesh and Leather: Wipe down mesh and leather sections with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  3. Insoles: The insoles can often be removed for airing out or gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
  4. Drying: Never use direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) to dry the shoes, as this can damage the materials. Stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature.
  5. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
