FAQs
What is Abzorb cushioning?
Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that offers superior cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact and provide energy return for a comfortable stride.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 is designed as a performance shoe with excellent comfort for daily wear and light athletic activities. While it offers good cushioning, it is not specifically engineered for high-intensity running or specialized athletic training. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's specific running shoe lines.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product instructions. Avoid excessive water and never machine wash suede.
What does 'inspired by the original 99X series' mean?
This means the 9060 incorporates design cues, aesthetic elements, and perhaps some structural philosophy from New Balance's iconic 99X series, known for its blend of performance and premium craftsmanship, while adding modern updates.
Is the New Balance 9060 true to size?
Based on general New Balance sizing, the 9060 typically runs true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. However, individual foot shapes can vary, so trying them on is always recommended if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the 9060 offers durable construction, the suede components are not water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to offer some protection.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or discolored.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper discoloration, a suede eraser or specialized cleaner may be needed. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size 14. Adjust the lacing system for a customized fit; experiment with different lacing patterns if necessary. Allow for a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.
Unpleasant odor develops.
Remove insoles and air out the shoes regularly. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out), or anti-bacterial sprays designed for footwear. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Midsole appears dirty or scuffed.
Clean the chunky midsole using a soft brush or old toothbrush with a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective, but use gently to avoid damaging the material.

Care Instructions:
- Spot Cleaning: For mesh areas, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub away dirt. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.
- Suede Cleaning: For suede overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the suede.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or fade.
- Storage: Store your New Balance 9060 in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, especially due to the suede components.
