FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 9060 model offers a standard fit. While the design is adaptable, children with particularly wide feet might find them snug. It's always best to try them on or consult a size guide.
How do I clean the foam midsole?
The ABZORB and SBS midsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe away any residue and allow to air dry.
Can these trainers be worn for running?
The 9060 features cushioning suitable for everyday wear and light activities. For dedicated running, a shoe specifically designed for high-impact running would be more appropriate.
What is the primary inspiration behind the 9060 design?
The design is inspired by the Y2K era, reinterpreting familiar 99X elements with a futuristic and visible tech aesthetic.
Is the suede material waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray for protection against moisture and stains.
How do the ABZORB and SBS cushioning work together?
ABZORB provides excellent shock absorption, while SBS (Shop 'n' Roll) cushioning offers enhanced stability and comfort, together creating a responsive feel.
Are there other color options available?
The New Balance 9060 line offers various colorways. This guide specifically covers the Grey/Black variant, but other options may be available depending on the season and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still snug, try wearing thinner socks or consider if the specific material needs a short break-in period.
Suede material looks dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, consult specialized suede cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Check if the laces are the correct length and material. If they are slippery, consider replacing them with cotton laces that offer better grip.
