FAQs

What makes the New Balance 9060 different from other New Balance models?

The 9060 series takes inspiration from the brand's heritage 99X models but integrates modern design elements and advanced cushioning technologies like ABZORB, ENCAP, and SBS for enhanced comfort and a contemporary aesthetic.

Is the 'Grey Lilac' colorway suitable for all occasions?

The grey and lilac colorway is versatile and works well for casual and everyday wear. While stylish, it might be considered less formal than solid, neutral-toned trainers for specific business-casual settings.

How do I ensure the best fit for my New Balance 9060s?

It is recommended to try them on, preferably later in the day when feet are slightly swollen. Check the size guide provided by New Balance and consider your typical sock thickness. The suede and mesh upper offers some flexibility.

Can I wear these shoes for running or intense sports?

The New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it offers excellent cushioning, it may not provide the specific support or stability required for high-impact athletic activities like running or court sports.

How should I clean the suede material on the shoe?

Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede, following the product's instructions. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage the suede.

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB, ENCAP, and SBS cushioning?

This combination of technologies provides superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, and offers enhanced stability and comfort for prolonged wear throughout the day.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. While the upper material has some give, individuals with significantly wide feet may find a wider fit option, if available, more comfortable. Check specific product details for width availability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and color. You can also hand-wash existing laces with mild soap and water.

Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.

While the cushioning is designed for durability, extreme wear can eventually lessen its effectiveness. Regular cleaning and proper care can help maintain its performance. For significant degradation, consider replacement.
