FAQs

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

The 9060 series is characterized by its reinterpretation of classic 99X design elements with a futuristic, Y2K-inspired aesthetic, featuring expanded sway bars and an exaggerated, sculpted pod midsole for enhanced cushioning and a distinct visual profile.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 9060s feature advanced cushioning like ABZORB and SBS, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or casual trainers. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific running shoe models.

How should I clean the green suede material?

Clean suede using a specialized suede brush or eraser for dry dirt. Avoid water saturation. If wet, let them air dry naturally away from heat sources. For tougher stains, consider a professional cleaner.

What does 'Y2K aesthetic' mean in the context of these shoes?

It refers to design elements inspired by the technological and fashion trends of the late 1990s and early 2000s, often characterized by visible tech components, bold proportions, and a futuristic outlook.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the suede material offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material's condition.

Is this model available in other colors or sizes?

The 9060 model is available in various colors and sizes. This guide specifically covers the Green variant in a UK 12.5. Please check other listings for different options.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit upon initial wear

Suede can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape. Ensure the laces are adjusted for comfort without being too tight.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dust. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoe soles. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole if removable, or around the edges of the sole where it meets the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. Ensure you have selected the correct size (UK 12.5 in this case) for optimal fit.

Care:

  3. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect the material and shape.
