FAQs
What is the primary difference between the 9060 and the classic 99X series?
The 9060 reinterprets familiar 99X elements with a 'warped sensibility' and an exaggerated, futuristic Y2K aesthetic, featuring scaled-up proportions and expanded sway bars for a more modern and visible tech-inspired look.
Can I use these trainers for running or intense workouts?
While the 9060 offers advanced cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For intensive running or high-performance workouts, we recommend using trainers specifically engineered for those activities.
How do I maintain the suede material to keep it looking new?
Regularly use a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner with a clean cloth, dabbing gently. Avoid harsh chemicals and always air dry. A suede protector spray can help prevent future stains and water damage.
What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam material that provides exceptional shock absorption and cushioning. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a specialized cushioning component that enhances stability and further absorbs impact, working together with ABZORB for a comfortable and supported stride.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance 9060 trainers generally fit true to size. However, due to the varying nature of foot shapes and personal preferences, we recommend referring to a size guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, it's best to wear athletic or cushioned socks made from breathable materials. This will enhance the feel of the trainer's internal cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaning kit following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.
Trainers feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Ensure your laces are not too tight or too loose; adjust for a snug but comfortable fit. Check your socks for proper cushioning and material. If discomfort persists, consider if your activity level aligns with the trainer's design.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insoles and letting both the insoles and the shoes air dry completely. If the squeak is from the outsole, clean the treads thoroughly to remove any debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Start with a loose fit, then gradually tighten from the toe upwards for a snug, comfortable feel around your instep and ankle. Avoid over-tightening to prevent pressure points.
Sock Choice: Pair with athletic or cushioned socks for optimal comfort and moisture wicking, enhancing the performance of the internal cushioning.
Compatibility:
Wardrobe: These trainers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits, including jeans, joggers, shorts, and even some relaxed tailoring. Their grey color with brown accents makes them adaptable.
Activities: Best suited for daily wear, urban exploration, casual outings, light walking, and standing for extended periods. They are not recommended for intensive running or high-impact sports where specialized footwear would be more appropriate.
Care:
Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently blot the stained areas. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
Spot Cleaning: For the textile lining or rubber outsole, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to gently clean. Wipe away excess soap with a damp cloth.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
