FAQs

What makes the New Balance 9060 design unique?

The 9060 features a Y2K-inspired aesthetic with warped familiar elements from classic 99X models, including expanded sway bars and a sculpted pod midsole with exaggerated cushioning platforms like ABZORB and SBS.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 9060 offers excellent cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For intense running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser is effective. Avoid excessive water; if needed, use a lightly damp cloth and air dry.

What does 'ABZORB' and 'SBS' cushioning refer to?

ABZORB is a New Balance foam that absorbs impact, while SBS (Sorbothane) is a shock-absorbing material. Together, they provide superior cushioning and comfort.

Can these trainers be worn by men and women?

Yes, the New Balance 9060 trainers are designed with a unisex fit, making them suitable for all genders.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent. Allow them to air dry fully before re-lacing.

Unusual noise when walking

Check for any debris trapped in the sole. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not too tight or loose, which can sometimes cause creaking sounds.

Fit feels slightly off

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is still not right after a few wears, consider if the size is correct for your foot width and length, as the 9060 has a distinct silhouette.
