FAQs

What inspired the 'December Sky' colorway?

The 'December Sky' colorway is inspired by the visual palette of a cool winter evening sky, featuring blue tones and bone accents.

What materials are used in the New Balance 9060 December Sky?

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and breathable mesh materials.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It's recommended to consult the New Balance official sizing chart for the 9060 model. Measuring your foot length can help determine the most accurate UK size.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While they feature cushioning and support for comfort, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, not for high-impact athletic training.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and scuffs. For stains, a suede eraser or cleaner can be used cautiously. Always test on a small area first and allow to air dry.

What is the release date and original retail price?

The New Balance 9060 December Sky was released on June 15th, 2023, with a retail price of $150.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or too loose

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and consider trying a half-size up or down. The combination of suede and mesh can offer some give, but proper initial sizing is key.

Suede material showing dirt or scuffs

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Reduced grip or traction

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the wear pattern on the outsole appears significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.

Care Instructions:
