FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 trainers offer excellent cushioning and are suitable for light athletic activities and casual walks. For serious running or high-intensity training, specialized running shoes designed for specific performance needs are generally recommended.
How do I clean the black leather?
Gently wipe away dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the leather.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
`ABZORB` is a New Balance patented foam material that provides optimal cushioning and compression set resistance. This technology is integrated into the midsole to ensure superior shock absorption and comfort, particularly during impact.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the New Balance 9060 leather trainers are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but it's recommended to use a protective spray specifically designed for leather footwear to enhance water and stain resistance before first wear and periodically thereafter.
What size should I choose?
New Balance 9060 trainers generally run true to size. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort.
Can I wear these trainers all day?
Yes, thanks to the advanced `ABZORB` midsole technology providing exceptional cushioning and support, these trainers are designed for all-day comfort, making them suitable for extended wear and daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the trainers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a clean, dry cloth to restore shine and suppleness.
Trainers feel less comfortable after extended wear
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider replacing the factory insoles with after-market arch support or cushioning insoles tailored to your foot type.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, extreme wet or icy conditions can still be hazardous. Exercise caution and avoid running on very slick surfaces. Regularly inspect the outsole for wear, as worn treads can reduce grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Fit
New Balance trainers generally run true to size. When first trying on your 9060s, ensure a comfortable fit with adequate room in the toe box and a snug heel. Wear them with the type of socks you typically use to ensure the best fit. Your UK size 12 pair should provide the expected sizing experience.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile. Their black leather finish and sleek design make them compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual wardrobes. They pair well with denim, shorts, athletic pants, and even some tailored casual trousers for a modern look.
Care
Given the premium leather construction, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 9060 trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For more stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather soap, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Always follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially before first wear. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their original shape.
