FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 Grey/Black trainers suitable for running?
No, while New Balance has a running heritage, the 9060 series is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style for everyday use rather than performance running.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
For mesh, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the material.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, New Balance 9060 trainers are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While they can withstand light moisture, it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions, especially due to the suede material, which can get stained or damaged. Using a water and stain repellent spray is highly recommended.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper features a combination of grey mesh fabric, black suede overlays, and grey and white leather caging, creating a multi-textured design.
Does the substantial sole add significant weight to the shoe?
The substantial sole does contribute to the shoe's overall feel, offering a solid and cushioned experience. While not excessively heavy, it provides a noticeable, reassuring presence on the foot.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always ensure the shoes are dry before cleaning.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable
The multi-layered construction may require a short breaking-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet. Ensure laces are not too tight.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by a loose insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and reinserting it. If it persists, a sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can reduce friction.
Discoloration or fading
Direct prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For color restoration, consult a professional shoe care specialist.

Care Instructions
Given the combination of materials, especially suede and leather, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your 9060 trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dirt and dust from the suede and mesh with a soft brush specifically designed for sneakers or suede. For leather sections, wipe with a damp cloth.
- Suede Care: For stubborn marks on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. A suede eraser can also help with scuffs.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and leather before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially in adverse weather conditions.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
