FAQs
How do I clean the mesh and suede upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For suede areas, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always air dry away from heat.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 9060 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort for walking and daily activities. While they provide good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
What is the difference between the suede and leather versions?
The primary difference lies in the material composition of the upper. Suede versions offer a softer, more casual texture, while leather versions typically provide a smoother finish and potentially enhanced durability against the elements. Both share the same core design and cushioning technology.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. The 9060 comes in a standard width (D), which fits most adult feet. Measure your foot length and compare it to the UK size guide provided.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance. Consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for suede.
What does 'Y2K-inspired' mean in the design?
Y2K-inspired refers to design elements reminiscent of the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by bold, often futuristic aesthetics, visible technology, and exaggerated proportions, which are incorporated into the classic New Balance silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks scuffed or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Consider double-knotting the laces for a more secure tie, or replacing them with longer or textured laces that offer better grip.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
While the dual-density midsole is designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively wet or compressed for prolonged periods, and allow them to air out between wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The New Balance 9060 Trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable and secure fit. Use the traditional lacing system to adjust the snugness to your preference.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult unisex wear and are suitable for most foot types with a standard width (D). They pair well with a variety of casual and athleisure attire.
Care: To maintain the condition of your 9060 trainers, clean them with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction. Allow the trainers to air dry naturally, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or excessive sunlight, which can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
