FAQs
What is the primary inspiration behind the New Balance 9060?
The 9060 is inspired by the refined style and innovation of the classic 99X series, reinterpreted with a Y2K-era aesthetic focused on visible technology and exaggerated proportions.
What cushioning technologies are used in the 9060?
The 9060 features ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies, known for their excellent shock absorption and comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While comfortable for daily wear and casual activities, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer and may not offer the specific support or performance features required for serious running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, and always air dry away from heat. Avoid soaking the suede.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers feature suede and mesh, which are not ideal for heavy rain. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to wet conditions may damage the materials. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What does '9060' signify in the product name?
The '9060' denotes a new model within New Balance's lineage, representing a modern expression of their heritage running shoe designs, specifically the 99X series.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to check user reviews or try them on if possible. For this specific model, the fit is generally considered standard.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check for debris in the sole grooves. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Suede material appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with new ones of similar length and material. Consider using wax-coated laces for increased durability and a more secure knot.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern to customize the fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size. Ensure the correct socks are being worn, as sock thickness can affect fit.
