FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
While the 9060 features advanced cushioning and support technologies like ABZORB and SBS, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual athletic shoe. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the suede and mesh parts?
Use a suede brush for the suede and a soft brush with mild soap and water for the mesh. Always avoid soaking the shoes and allow them to air dry naturally.
What does the 'Blacktop Dark Moss' colorway refer to?
This refers to the specific color scheme of the shoe, featuring black and dark moss green accents, along with gray suede and olive leather overlays on a brown mesh base.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB and SBS midsole?
The dual-density ABZORB and SBS midsole provides exceptional shock absorption, cushioning, and responsive energy return, enhancing comfort and stability during wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The suede and leather materials are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and maintain their appearance. Consider using a water-repellent spray.
What inspired the design of the 9060?
The design is inspired by New Balance's past running shoe silhouettes from the early 2000s, updated with a retro-futuristic aesthetic and modern technology.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try dusting the inside of the shoe or checking if the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Thicker socks can sometimes help prevent rubbing.
Color transfer from suede to socks
New suede can sometimes transfer color, especially when wet. This usually subsides with wear. If it's a significant issue, consider using a suede protector spray, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
