FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 Grey Lilac suitable for running?
While they incorporate running-inspired design and cushioning, the 9060 is primarily a lifestyle shoe. They are best suited for walking, standing, and casual wear rather than high-impact running.
How do I adjust the drawcord lacing system?
The drawcord lacing system allows you to pull on the ends to tighten the laces and engage a stopper or knot to secure the fit. To loosen, release the stopper or untie the knot.
What are the main cushioning technologies used?
The shoe features ABZORB, ENCAP, and SBS cushioning technologies integrated into its sculpted pod midsole for enhanced comfort and support.
How should I care for the suede parts of the shoe?
Suede should be brushed regularly with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and apply sparingly. Avoid excessive moisture.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to consult the New Balance size chart and, if possible, try them on for the best fit, or consider customer reviews regarding fit.
What inspired the design of the 9060?
The design is inspired by elements from New Balance's iconic 99X series and futuristic aesthetics reminiscent of the Y2K era.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and premium suede overlays.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the drawcord lacing system to find a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying a half-size up or down if discomfort persists.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth or brush, following product instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time
The cushioning technologies are designed for longevity, but prolonged heavy use can affect their responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes for daily use.
Mesh material looks grimy
Gently wipe the mesh with a cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid soaking the shoe. Allow to air dry naturally.
