Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 9060 Workwear trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of classic style and modern comfort, particularly for everyday wear. Their key benefit is the combination of a durable leather upper with ABZORB cushioning for excellent support and motion absorption. A potential caveat is that the distinct yellow colorway may not suit all fashion preferences.

FAQs
What makes the ABZORB midsole special?
The ABZORB midsole technology in the New Balance 9060 is designed to absorb shock, providing excellent cushioning and support that helps reduce impact on your feet and joints during movement.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable and supportive for walking, the 9060 Workwear is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided size guide. Since these are UK sizes, ensure you are converting correctly if needed.
What is the 'Workwear' designation referring to?
The 'Workwear' designation typically refers to a color palette and durable materials inspired by traditional work boots, often featuring earthy tones and robust construction, as seen in the yellow and brown colorway of this model.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, and the rubber outsole provides traction. However, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproofing spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How does the Y2K inspiration influence the design?
The Y2K inspiration is reflected in the shoe's silhouette, chunkier sole design, and material combinations, drawing from popular trends of the early 2000s while giving it a modern update.
What other colorways or variations are available?
The New Balance 9060 series comes in various colorways and material combinations. The 'Workwear' model specifically has variations within this theme, and other 9060 models feature different aesthetic approaches.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) into the shoe under the insole or between the tongue and laces to reduce friction.
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Gently rub it into the leather with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for slip resistance, some highly polished or wet surfaces may still present a hazard. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt or debris can affect traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: The New Balance 9060 Workwear is designed for adult use and is compatible with standard sock sizes. Its versatile design pairs well with a wide range of casual attire.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather and sole.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
- Maintenance: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help maintain the material's condition and water resistance. Check the outsole for debris and clean periodically.
