Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 9060 in Black Leather, UK Size 7, is a distinctive lifestyle sneaker for individuals who value a bold, Y2K-inspired aesthetic combined with modern comfort. Its key win is the fusion of classic 99X series innovation with exaggerated proportions and superior ABZORB and SBS cushioning, offering both style and support for daily wear. However, its unique, "warped sensibility" design may not appeal to those preferring more traditional sneaker silhouettes.

FAQs

What material is the upper of this New Balance 9060 variant made from?

This specific New Balance 9060 in Black is crafted with a premium leather upper, offering durability and a refined aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense workouts?

While the 9060 features advanced cushioning like ABZORB and SBS, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for daily comfort and style, not specifically for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How should I clean my New Balance 9060 leather shoes?

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and periodically apply a leather conditioner to maintain the material. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

What do ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies do?

ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact. SBS is a rubberized foam, offering a stable and soft ride. Together, they provide exceptional comfort and support.

Are these New Balance 9060 shoes true to size?

New Balance shoes typically run true to size. This specific pair is a UK Size 7. It is generally recommended to try them on for the best fit, especially if you are unsure of your New Balance sizing.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy or wet conditions?

While leather offers some natural water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions should be avoided to protect the leather and the shoe's internal structure from damage.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff initially.

Leather footwear often requires a short break-in period. Wear your New Balance 9060s for shorter durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to the shape of your feet.

The leather upper is losing its shine or appears dry.

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically. This will moisturize the leather, prevent drying and cracking, and help restore its natural luster.

There's a persistent squeaking sound when walking.

A squeak can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and then reinserting it. A light sprinkle of talcum powder beneath the insole can also help reduce friction.

Shoes get scuffed easily.

For light scuffs on black leather, a leather balm or polish in a matching color can often buff them out. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair might be necessary.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather New Balance 9060s, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt or stains, use a specialized leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply according to the product instructions, then gently wipe clean.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material, prevent cracking, and maintain its supple feel and natural sheen.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your leather sneakers, as this can severely damage the material and construction.
