FAQs

Are the New Balance 9060 'Blue Haze' suitable for running?

While the 9060 offers good cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, not for high-impact running activities. For running, we recommend New Balance models specifically engineered for performance running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, which typically relates foot measurements to specific UK, US, and EU sizes. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately.

Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?

The mesh and synthetic materials offer some breathability but are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not ideal for heavy rain. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic materials, designed for comfort and airflow.

What is the return policy for these sneakers?

Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific return policy of the store where you purchased the New Balance 9060 Blue Haze.

How does the 'Blue Haze' colorway look in different lighting?

The 'Blue Haze' colorway features shades of blue and beige. Its appearance can shift subtly depending on the lighting conditions, offering a dynamic visual appeal.

Troubleshooting

Uneven fit or discomfort

Ensure laces are properly tied, not too tight or too loose. Consider using the provided extra eyelets for a more secure lockdown. Allow a break-in period of a few wears.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers. Try inserting a dry paper towel inside the shoe overnight. If the sound persists, contact customer support.

Stains on the upper

For minor stains, use a damp cloth. For tougher spots on mesh or synthetic areas, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water mixture. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the tread with a brush. If the tread is significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.
