FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 trainers true to size?
Most users find the 9060 series fits true to standard New Balance sizing; however, those with wider feet may consider going up a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as it can damage the materials and glue, leading to a loss of shape and structural integrity.
Is this a performance running shoe?
While inspired by retro running designs, the 9060 is classified as a lifestyle sneaker intended for daily casual use, not for high-intensity athletic running.
How do I maintain the color of the suede parts?
Keep the shoes away from prolonged direct sunlight and use a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect against light rain and stains.
Are these shoes heavy?
Due to their supportive cushioning and robust construction, they have a solid, substantial feel compared to minimalist or knit sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris in the direction of the material grain.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structural integrity of the silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: While the trainers are comfortable out of the box, wear them for short periods during the first week to allow the materials to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and leather components. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual trousers, denim, or athleisure wear, acting as a statement piece in a layered outfit.
