FAQs
Is the New Balance 9060 suitable for intense running?
While the 9060 features high-performance cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe rather than a dedicated long-distance running trainer.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush and eraser. Avoid using water or standard soap, as these can damage the texture and color of the material.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The New Balance 9060 typically fits true to standard UK sizing, but if you prefer extra room for movement, some wearers opt for a half-size up.
What is the purpose of the split pod outsole?
The split pod diamond pattern is designed to provide specific points of impact absorption and enhanced grip across different types of terrain.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the internal insoles can generally be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift and remove debris in the direction of the grain.
Loss of cushioning bounce
Ensure the midsole is not compressed by heavy objects; usually, the ABZORB technology will recover naturally after a period of rest.
Sole traction feels slippery on wet surfaces
Check the split pod tread for trapped small stones or debris that can reduce surface contact; clean the outsole with water and a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is primarily crafted from premium suede, it is essential to protect the material before initial wear using a professional-grade suede protector spray. To maintain the look:
- Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush specifically made for suede.
- Avoid getting the shoes excessively wet to prevent water staining.
- Use a suede eraser for minor scuffs rather than liquid cleaners.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour vibrancy of the black and green tones. These shoes are standard fit and pair well with relaxed-fit trousers or athletic joggers.
