FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 'Workwear' trainers unisex?

While the product description lists 'Male' for some variants, the 9060 silhouette is generally considered unisex due to its style and fit. Please check specific sizing charts.

What does 'Y2K era' inspiration mean for the design?

It refers to the aesthetic trends popular around the year 2000, often characterized by futuristic elements, bold lines, and a blend of retro and modern influences, which is reflected in the extended upper and cushioning platform.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing provided. Trying them on is always the best way to ensure a perfect fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While they offer some protection, they are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using water and stain repellent sprays can help improve their resistance.

What is the primary difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is known for its shock-absorbing properties, while SBS (ENCAP) provides a supportive core with a durable heel and cushioning. Together, they aim to offer a blend of comfort and stability.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Regular spot cleaning after wear is recommended to remove surface dirt. A more thorough cleaning should be done as needed, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

What materials are the 'Workwear' trainers made of?

These trainers feature a combination of materials, including leather and wool, contributing to their unique look and feel.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from trainers

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a powder or talcum powder into the shoe to absorb moisture or friction. If the noise persists, it might be from the sole unit; allow more break-in time.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the rubbing is due to a specific point, try adjusting the lacing or wearing the shoes for shorter periods to allow them to break in.

Color transfer from trainers

New, darker dyed trainers can sometimes transfer color, especially when wet. Wear them with darker socks initially until the color stabilizes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials.

Wool material feels stiff

Wool can stiffen if it gets very wet and dries improperly. Ensure proper drying techniques are followed. Gentle brushing after drying can help restore texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit. The lacing system allows for adjustable snugness.

Compatibility:

The New Balance 9060 'Workwear' trainers are designed for general adult use and are not specific to any electronic devices or software. They are suitable for men and women interested in retro-inspired casual footwear.

Care:

Due to the mixed materials (leather, wool, and potentially other synthetics), specific care is recommended:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid excessive soaking.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray for the leather components and a fabric protector for the wool and mesh areas to help repel water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
