FAQs
What makes the 9060 design unique?
The 9060 features a design inspired by Y2K aesthetics, with expanded sway bars, a sculpted pod midsole, and exaggerated proportions that offer a fresh interpretation of classic New Balance heritage.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, focusing on comfort and style. They are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner should be applied according to its instructions. Avoid excessive water.
What does ABZORB and SBS cushioning offer?
ABZORB provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, while SBS (Shellback Sensor) is a cushioning technology designed for comfort and stability. Together, they offer enhanced shock absorption and support.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the 9060 Trainers are designed with a unisex fit, making them suitable for adults of all genders.
What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight to preserve their material and color.
How do the 'expanded sway bars' impact the shoe?
The expanded sway bars are a design element taken from the 990 series and enlarged. They contribute to the shoe's visual dynamism and provide a sense of visible motion and structural support in the upper.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions.
Sole feels stiff initially
The ABZORB and SBS cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot.
Fit feels slightly wide
Ensure the laces are properly tied and adjusted to secure your foot. If the width is still an issue, consider using an insole for a snugger fit.
Discoloration on suede
Avoid exposing the trainers to excessive moisture or direct, prolonged sunlight. If discoloration occurs, professional suede cleaning might be necessary.
