FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

The ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies work together to provide superior shock absorption and a comfortable, responsive feel underfoot, reducing impact during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for professional athletic training?

While offering good support and comfort, the New Balance 9060 is primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For specialized, high-impact sports, specific performance footwear might be more appropriate.

How should I clean the mixed material upper (leather, suede, mesh)?

For best results, use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. Use a dedicated suede brush and cleaner for suede parts, and appropriate leather cleaner for leather. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.

What does 'JD-exclusive' mean for this colorway?

It signifies that this specific 'Moonrock/Moonbeam' colorway of the New Balance 9060 is exclusively available through JD Sports retailers.

What is the intended fit of the New Balance 9060?

The design aims for a locked-in fit with plush padding around the ankle and secure lacing. It's generally considered a standard fit, but individual foot shapes may vary.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The mesh upper offers some breathability but may not be waterproof. The rubber outsole provides grip, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Consider a waterproof treatment for enhanced protection if needed.

What is the difference between the leather and suede variants?

While both are part of the 9060 series, leather variants typically use more leather for structure and durability, while suede variants emphasize the texture and softer feel of suede, often with fewer leather elements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe requires a break-in period.

Discoloration on suede or leather

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt from suede areas. For stains, use a specialized suede or leather cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Slipping occurs during wear

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the shoe is worn, the tread may be diminished, suggesting it's time for a replacement. Check that laces are adequately tightened for a secure fit.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The ABZORB and SBS cushioning may compress over time. If comfort significantly decreases, it might indicate the shoe has reached the end of its optimal lifespan for cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and protect the materials.
