FAQs
What type of activities is the New Balance 9060 Charcoal best suited for?
The New Balance 9060 Charcoal is primarily designed for daily wear, casual outings, and light walking. Its comfortable Abzorb cushioning makes it ideal for prolonged periods on your feet.
How should I clean the suede on these shoes?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth will work. Always brush in one direction and allow to air dry.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. However, individual fit can vary. We recommend trying them on or consulting a New Balance sizing chart for the 9060 series if you are unsure.
What does 'Abzorb cushioning' mean?
Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides excellent cushioning and compression set resistance. It absorbs impact and disperses energy, offering superior comfort and responsiveness.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the mesh provides some breathability, the suede overlays are susceptible to water damage and staining. It's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions. If exposed, allow them to air dry thoroughly and reapply a water-repellent spray.
What is the inspiration behind the 9060 series design?
The 9060 series draws inspiration from New Balance's classic 99X series, updating familiar elements with a more chunky, futuristic aesthetic while maintaining the brand's heritage and performance focus.
Are these shoes durable for everyday use?
Yes, with their mesh base and supportive suede overlays, the New Balance 9060 Charcoal is built for durability under normal daily use conditions. Proper care will further enhance their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a suede eraser or cleaner following product instructions.
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. New shoes can take a few wears to break in.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
This is typically due to normal wear and tear. Abzorb cushioning is durable, but all cushioning materials degrade eventually. Consider the age and mileage of your shoes.
The shoe makes a squeaking sound while walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes removing and reinserting the insole can resolve this. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture trapped between shoe components; allow them to dry thoroughly.
Stains on the mesh upper.
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild soap and water. Avoid saturating the material. Air dry completely.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care, especially for the `suede` components, will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your New Balance 9060 Charcoal.
- Regular Cleaning: For the `mesh base`, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For `suede`, use a soft brush designed for suede to remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Stain Removal (Suede): For tougher stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-repellent spray specifically designed for suede and textile shoes before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
