FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 trainers suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support for everyday wear and light activities, the 9060s are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. The specific UK size for this variant is 9. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

What is the main inspiration behind the 9060 model?

The 9060 model is inspired by the futuristic Y2K tech aesthetic and reimagines familiar elements from the classic 99X series with modern innovation and exaggerated proportions.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The materials used are not fully waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What does 'ABZORB' technology refer to?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce impact forces during wear.

How does the dual-density cushioning work?

Dual-density cushioning uses materials of varying firmness in different areas of the midsole to provide a balanced feel, offering softness where needed and firmer support elsewhere.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is available in various colorways, including Navy, Oxford Blue, and Grey, with different secondary color accents.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair for better grip.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure the size is correct and consider if the shoe's structure suits your foot type.

Slight squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to new materials or slight friction. Try walking on different surfaces; if it persists, check for any trapped debris in the sole or between components.

Color transfer from materials

In rare cases, dark dyes may transfer, especially when wet. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks in damp conditions until the shoes have been worn and aired out sufficiently.
