FAQs
Are these trainers good for running?
The New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, focusing on comfort and style for everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-performance running activities.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What does ABZORB, ENCAP, and SBS cushioning mean?
ABZORB is a technology that absorbs shock. ENCAP combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim for support and cushioning. SBS (Shock-Blocking System) provides additional stability and cushioning.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and the internal cushioning structures.
What is the fit like for these trainers?
The 9060 typically offers a comfortable fit with good width, especially considering its lifestyle focus. It is recommended to consult the New Balance size guide for the most accurate fit.
How should I store my New Balance 9060 trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in a shoe box or bag can protect them from dust.
Is the 'Gray Lilac' colorway available in other sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 'Gray Lilac' colorway is available in a range of adult sizes. Please check the product listing for specific size availability.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on Suede
Minor creasing is natural with suede. For significant creasing, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. Avoid excessive pressure.
Discoloration of Lilac Accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Clean gently with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh cleaning agents.
Reduced Cushioning Feel
The cushioning is designed for longevity. If you perceive a significant reduction, ensure the shoes are not overloaded or exposed to extreme conditions. Break-in period might be needed for initial stiffness.
