FAQs
What materials are used in the New Balance 9060 Slate Grey Arid Stone?
The upper of these sneakers features a blend of premium suede and breathable mesh, while the chunky midsole is made from advanced cushioning compounds for comfort and support.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or athletic activities?
No, the New Balance 9060 Slate Grey Arid Stone is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While it offers superior comfort for walking and daily activities, it is not optimized for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always allow to air dry completely.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. We recommend ordering your usual New Balance size. However, due to the chunky design, some users might find them to have a slightly roomier fit. Refer to a size guide if unsure. Info needed: [Consult specific product reviews for widespread sizing feedback.]
Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?
While the shoes are durable, the suede material is not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions as it can get stained or damaged. For prolonged exposure to moisture, it's best to wear water-resistant footwear.
What makes the 9060 series unique?
The 9060 series stands out for its bold, chunky midsole, exaggerated proportions, and a design that blends retro New Balance aesthetics with modern technological advancements, creating a distinctive and comfortable silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always brush in one direction.
Sneakers feel less comfortable over time or cushioning seems diminished
The original insoles may be compressed. Consider replacing them with new, high-quality athletic insoles to refresh the cushioning and support.
Outer sole appears slippery or loses grip
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, debris, or oil that might be reducing traction. Use a stiff brush and warm soapy water, then rinse and air dry. If the tread is significantly worn, consider professional resoling if possible, though for lifestyle sneakers, replacement might be more practical.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes
Remove the insoles and air them out. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let them sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees can also help prevent odors.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are using a secure knotting method, such as a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces that offer better grip.
