FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it incorporates running shoe technology for comfort, it is not intended for serious athletic training or competitive running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart or try on the shoes if possible. This guide specifies a UK Size 8.5.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB and ENCAP cushioning?
ABZORB technology provides shock absorption, while ENCAP midsole technology provides support and durability, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning materials.
How should I store the shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or storing them in their original box can help maintain their shape.
What does the 'Gray Lilac' colorway signify?
This refers to the specific color combination of the shoe, featuring a base of grey with accents of lilac (purple).
Is the suede material treated for water resistance?
The provided description does not specify water-resistant treatment for the suede. It is advisable to protect them from excessive moisture and consider a suede protector spray if needed.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consider a dedicated suede cleaner.
Laces wear out or become damaged
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and material. Consider contrasting or matching colors based on preference.
Interior feels slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The cushioning and materials will conform to your foot shape over time.
Sole grip seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for general traction, be cautious on very wet or slick surfaces as with any footwear.
