FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?

The New Balance 9060 'Gray Lilac' is designed as a lifestyle sneaker, emphasizing comfort and style for everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts?

For suede, use a dry brush or eraser for dirt. For stains, a lightly damp cloth and air drying is recommended. Mesh can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.

What makes the cushioning technology special?

The shoe features a combination of ABZORB, ENCAP, and SBS cushioning technologies in the midsole. This blend is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, support, and a comfortable feel for extended wear.

Is this shoe available in women's sizes?

This specific model is listed under adult male sizing. Women interested in this style should consult New Balance's size conversion charts or look for equivalent women's models.

How does the 'Gray Lilac' colorway hold up against dirt?

The grey and lilac color scheme is relatively forgiving with minor dirt. However, the suede material is the most susceptible to staining and will require regular care to maintain its appearance.

What is the best way to ensure a proper fit?

Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip. If unsure, refer to the New Balance sizing guide for accurate measurements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight on arrival.

Wear the shoes with thin socks initially. If still too tight, try wearing them for short periods around the house. The materials may stretch slightly with wear.

Suede material looks scuffed or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush or a clean toothbrush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser and follow up with the brush.

Laces keep coming undone.

Ensure you are double-knotting the laces. Consider replacing the laces with a different material if the current ones are too smooth.

Discomfort after prolonged wear.

Ensure you have the correct size and that the laces are adjusted properly. The cushioning will break in over time, but significant discomfort may indicate an improper fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets for a secure fit. It's recommended to double-knot laces to prevent them from loosening during activity.
  2. Initial Fit: Wear with appropriate socks to gauge the fit. The snug fit should feel supportive without being constrictive.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in adult male sizing. Refer to the sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
  • Use Case: Designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker. While they offer good support, they are not intended for intense athletic training or competitive sports.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or suede eraser to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid soaking.
  • Cleaning Mesh: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse gently and allow to air dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and light.
