Full details

The 9060 stands out with its Y2K-inspired design, featuring exaggerated proportions, expanded sway bars, and a sculpted pod midsole, offering a more futuristic interpretation compared to classic 99X models.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they feature advanced cushioning like ABZORB and SBS, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday wear. They are not specialized for high-impact running.
How do I best clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with a mild suede cleaner can be used cautiously. Always allow suede to air dry and avoid direct heat.
What is the intended fit of the 9060 trainers?
The 9060 is designed to offer a comfortable, supportive fit suitable for adults. They generally fit true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary.
Can men and women wear these trainers?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 is listed as a unisex model, designed to be worn by individuals of any gender.
What does 'Y2K-inspired' mean in the context of these shoes?
It refers to the design aesthetic popular around the year 2000, characterized by visible technology, futuristic elements, and often bolder, more experimental shapes and materials.
How durable is the suede and mesh construction?
The combination of suede and mesh offers a balance of durability and breathability. Suede provides a premium look and resilience, while mesh ensures ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is appropriate.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specific suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Avoid excessive pulling or tying that could strain the laces.
Midsole showing signs of wear
Regular cleaning can help prevent grime buildup. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals that could degrade the midsole material.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth and a mild suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow suede to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
- Cleaning Mesh/Other Materials: Wipe down mesh and other upper materials with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher spots, but avoid harsh chemicals.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a soft brush.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately in cool water with mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before re-inserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
