FAQs

What does ABZORB cushioning do?

ABZORB cushioning is a New Balance proprietary foam blend that provides superior shock absorption, helping to reduce impact and enhance overall comfort with each step.

What materials are used in the New Balance 9060?

The New Balance 9060 features a premium mesh upper with suede overlays, providing a blend of breathability, durability, and a luxurious feel. The sole uses ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While the 9060 offers excellent cushioning and comfort for walking and light activities, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific performance running shoe lines.

How do I clean my New Balance 9060 sneakers?

For mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser for dry dirt and scuffs. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the 'Y2K aesthetic' mentioned?

The Y2K aesthetic refers to design trends from the late 1990s and early 2000s, often characterized by a techy, futuristic, and somewhat chunky or exaggerated style. The 9060 incorporates these elements into its design.

Are New Balance 9060 sneakers true to size?

Generally, New Balance shoes are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend checking your usual New Balance size or consulting a size guide if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper issues, a suede eraser can help with scuffs and light stains.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes sometimes require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Unpleasant odor from shoes.

Remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizer sprays or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are tying a proper double knot. Consider replacing laces with ones that have a slightly different texture if the issue persists.

Shoes getting dirty quickly.

Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mesh and suede materials before first wear. Clean regularly following the care instructions.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 9060 sneakers:

  • Cleaning the Mesh: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted laundry detergent) with cool water. Gently scrub the mesh in small circular motions, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Cleaning the Suede Overlays: For best results, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Odor Prevention: Remove insoles periodically to air out and use shoe deodorizers if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
