FAQs
What makes the New Balance 9060 different from other trainers?
The 9060 stands out with its unique fusion of classic 99X design cues and futuristic Y2K aesthetics, featuring prominent sway bars and an oversized, sculpted midsole with advanced ABZORB and SBS cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for everyday activities and light play, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For highly specialized or intense athletic training, sport-specific footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I find the correct size for my child?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room, typically about a finger's width, at the end of the shoe.
What materials are used in the New Balance 9060 kids' trainers?
These trainers typically feature a combination of materials including nylon, suede, and leather, contributing to their durability and distinct appearance.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB provides excellent shock absorption, while SBS (Skip-on-Board) cushioning offers a plush and supportive feel. Together, they provide superior comfort and impact protection for the wearer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Loosen the laces to allow for adjustment before re-tying. Break-in period might be required for new shoes.
Squeaking sound during wear
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to moisture between the sole and insole. Try removing the insole and ensuring it's completely dry, or insert a small piece of paper towel under the insole.
Dirt or stains on the white/pink upper
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. For tougher stains on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
