FAQs
What makes the New Balance 9060 Castlerock different from other trainers?
The 9060 Castlerock stands out due to its unique design, which merges elements from various New Balance heritage models to create a contemporary, high-octane aesthetic. It also features an exaggerated sculpted pod midsole with ABZORB technology for advanced cushioning and impact absorption.
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
While inspired by running shoe silhouettes and featuring cushioning technology, the New Balance 9060 Castlerock is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. They offer excellent comfort for everyday activities but are not optimized for competitive or intense athletic running.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression-set resistance. It helps to absorb impact and provides a comfortable, supportive feel underfoot.
How do I clean my New Balance 9060 Castlerock trainers?
Clean the upper using a damp cloth and mild soap for tougher spots on the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure they are air-dried naturally and away from direct heat.
What is the colorway of the Castlerock model?
The Castlerock colorway features a base of white and grey mesh, overlaid with wavy strips of black and grey leather. The tongue has red branding, and the outsole has red diamond details.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult men's UK sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart or product listing for specific available sizes.
What materials are used in the construction?
The trainers are constructed using a combination of leather and mesh for the upper, providing both durability and breathability. The midsole utilizes ABZORB technology, and the outsole is made of rubber.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Squeaking noise from the sole.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between sole layers. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder applied to the insole might help. If the squeaking is persistent and concerning, contact customer support.
Discoloration on the mesh or leather.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate methods as outlined in the care instructions. For significant discoloration, professional shoe cleaning might be an option.
