FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the 9060 design?
The 9060 design is inspired by the refined style and innovation of the classic 99X series, reinterpreted with a futuristic, Y2K-era tech aesthetic.
What are ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that cushions and absorbs impact, while SBS (Sorbothane) is another cushioning system designed for shock absorption and comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for everyday wear and light activities. They offer good cushioning and support for walking and casual use but are not intended for high-impact or professional sports.
What materials are the New Balance 9060 trainers made from?
The materials can vary slightly, but this specific model features a combination of leather and other synthetic materials for durability and style.
How do I ensure I'm buying the correct size for my child?
Refer to the UK sizing chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the shoe's internal measurements if possible.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is advised.
What is the difference between the kids' sizes and adult sizes?
Kids' sizes are scaled down versions of adult designs, with specific fit and construction tailored for children's feet. They often use different sizing scales (e.g., UK children's sizes).
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are a new fit, they may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially.
Dirt or scuff marks not easily removed
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner for leather and synthetic materials, following the product's instructions. For minor scuffs on white areas, a magic eraser can be carefully used.
Laces become worn or frayed
Replacement laces can be purchased from most shoe stores or online retailers. Ensure you choose a length appropriate for the shoe's eyelets.
