FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
The 9060 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort and support for walking and daily activities. They are not specifically engineered as performance running shoes.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website. Measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. These are unisex trainers, so consult the men's or women's equivalent sizing as needed.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning materials. Hand wash components separately and air dry.
What is the primary difference between the 9060 and classic 99X models?
The 9060 is a new expression that reinterprets classic 99X elements with Y2K-inspired design cues, featuring warped aesthetics, expanded sway bars, and an exaggerated pod midsole, while retaining advanced cushioning technologies like ABZORB and SBS.
Is the black and grey colorway prone to showing dirt?
While the black and grey colorway is relatively forgiving, the suede material can attract dust and show marks. Regular cleaning with a suede brush and appropriate cleaners will help maintain their appearance.
What does 'ABZORB' and 'SBS' cushioning refer to?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing shock. SBS (Strobel Board) is a cushioning compound that enhances comfort and durability in the midsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the intended use.
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Reduced cushioning or support over time.
While the materials are durable, cushioning can naturally degrade with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear for longevity.
Discoloration on mesh or suede.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate mild cleaners as per care instructions.

Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or suede eraser to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying sparingly and testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water.
