FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While they offer great comfort and stability for daily wear and light activity, they are categorized as lifestyle trainers rather than performance-specific athletic shoes.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard children's sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific UK size to ensure a proper fit for growing feet.
What technology is used in the sole?
The trainers use a combination of ABZORB and SBS cushioning for enhanced impact protection and comfort.
Can I use these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is porous and can be damaged or stained by water. Consider using a suede-safe water repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface-level scuffs.
Cushioning feels stiff after storage
Wear the shoes for a short period to allow the body heat to soften the ABZORB and SBS foam compounds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 9060 trainers, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the suede components. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and dust after wear. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from stiffening. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape.
