New Balance 9060 - Grey - Kids UK 9

The New Balance 9060 trainers offer excellent comfort and support for everyday activities, including light running and playground sports, thanks to their ABZORB and SBS cushioning. While they provide good general performance, they are not specifically designed as high-performance sports shoes for competitive events.

It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to New Balance's official size chart for kids. Remember to allow a small amount of extra space (about a thumb's width) at the toe for growth and comfort.

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides optimal cushioning and compression resistance. SBS is a non-cellular foam compound engineered for stable cushioning and firmer support, often found in the heel for enhanced impact absorption and stability.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Please follow the 'Care' instructions provided, which suggest hand cleaning and air drying.

Yes, New Balance products are generally known for their durability. The 9060 Kids Trainers are built with quality materials and construction designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily active use by children, offering reliable performance.

The New Balance 9060 features a sculpted pod midsole and advanced cushioning technologies (ABZORB, SBS) that contribute to overall foot support and comfort. For specific arch support needs, you may consult with a podiatrist or consider custom insoles if necessary.

Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are snug but not constricting. If the issue persists, verify the shoe size against your child's current foot measurements, as children's feet grow quickly.

Establish a routine of wiping down the shoes with a damp cloth after each active use. For tougher dirt, refer to the 'Care' section for spot cleaning instructions.

Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. If the issue is with the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.

Ensure your child is tying their laces using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). Consider replacing standard laces with those that have more grip, or investing in elastic laces for younger children.
