FAQs

What is Abzorb cushioning?

Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that provides exceptional shock absorption and compression resistance. It delivers a comfortable, responsive, and stable ride, reducing impact forces as you walk.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

While highly comfortable and supportive for everyday wear, the New Balance 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual fashion sneaker, not specifically for high-performance running or intense sports activities. For running, New Balance offers specialized athletic shoe lines.

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

New Balance shoes typically fit true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering individual foot shape. You can also refer to the official New Balance sizing guide for measurement tips if purchasing online.

Can I wear these shoes in wet or rainy weather?

The suede and mesh upper materials of the 9060 are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended, as it can damage the suede, potentially lead to color bleeding, and cause moisture retention in the mesh.

What makes the 9060 series unique compared to other New Balance models?

The 9060 series stands out for its bold, chunky aesthetic that creatively reinterprets classic 99X series elements with exaggerated features and advanced cushioning technology. It offers a distinctly modern twist on New Balance's heritage designs.

What materials are used in the upper of the New Balance 9060 Charcoal?

The upper features a combination of breathable Charcoal gray mesh as the base, complemented by supportive and stylish Charcoal suede overlays on the sides, toe box, and heel.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore its original texture. For deeper cleaning, use a suede cleaner formulated for this material.

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you are wearing the correct size; New Balance generally fits true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Adjust the lacing pattern or tension for a more customized fit. Consider trying different sock thicknesses.

Squeaking sound when walking

A squeaking sound can sometimes occur in new shoes and often resolves with wear. Check if the insole is properly seated inside the shoe. A small amount of talcum powder sprinkled under the insole can sometimes reduce friction and eliminate squeaking.

Color fading on the upper materials

Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, which can cause color degradation over time. Proper cleaning and storage as outlined in the care instructions will help preserve the colors.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For more stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, then dab gently with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or saturating the suede with water.
  • Cleaning Mesh: Lightly brush off any surface dirt or dust. For deeper cleaning, prepare a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted laundry detergent) and gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush or cloth. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
  • General Care: To prolong the life and appearance of your New Balance 9060, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shoe's shape.
