FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 trainers good for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for walking and daily wear, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle or fashion trainer. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes would be more appropriate.
How do I know my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance size guide available on their official website or retail partner sites. It typically includes measurements in centimeters or inches to help you find the best fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, midsole materials, and overall construction of the shoe.
What does 'Y2K-inspired' mean in the design?
It refers to the aesthetic trends popular around the year 2000, characterized by futuristic elements, visible technology, and bold, often chunky designs, which the 9060 incorporates.
How durable are the suede uppers?
Suede is a durable material when properly cared for. Regular cleaning and protection will help maintain its appearance and longevity.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 model is available in various colorways. Please check the retailer's or New Balance's website for the full range.
What is the purpose of the sculpted pod midsole?
The sculpted pod midsole, featuring ABZORB and SBS cushioning, is designed to provide enhanced comfort, shock absorption, and a distinctive visual element that emphasizes the shoe's modern aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort in the midsole
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the cushioning to mold to your foot. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help speed up the break-in process.
Suede material getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Do not use hairdryers. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.
Color transfer from suede
This can sometimes occur with suede, especially when new or wet. Ensure socks worn with the shoes are also dark or colorfast. For persistent issues, consider applying a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
