FAQs
What does the '9060' signify in the product name?
The '9060' signifies a new chapter for New Balance, reinterpreting the heritage of the 99X series with modern design cues, particularly drawing inspiration from the visible tech aesthetic of the Y2K era.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
The 9060 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle wear, comfort, and casual use. While they offer good cushioning and support, they are not engineered for high-impact activities like running or specialized sports.
How do the ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies work?
ABZORB cushioning absorbs impact, while SBS (Sheet Blown Rubber) offers a comfortable, stable ride. Together, they provide a well-cushioned and supportive experience for everyday wear.
What is the difference between this and the classic 99X series?
The 9060 takes elements from the classic 99X series but reinterprets them with exaggerated proportions, visible tech influences from the Y2K era, and a more pronounced, sculpted midsole design.
Can these trainers be worn by men and women?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 trainers are designed with a unisex fit, making them suitable for all genders.
How should I clean the suede and mesh parts of the shoe?
For suede, use a suede brush for dry dirt and a lightly dampened cloth for stains, allowing to air dry. Mesh areas can typically be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What size is a UK 11 in this model?
A UK 11 is a standard adult men's or women's size. Please refer to New Balance's official size chart for exact measurements if needed, as fits can vary slightly between models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If they are new, suede can sometimes feel snug initially; they may stretch slightly with wear. Consider using thicker socks for a tighter fit or thinner socks for more room.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For persistent marks, spot clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before wearing.
Sole feels stiff
New Balance trainers, particularly those with performance-inspired midsoles like ABZORB and SBS, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
