Full details
The New Balance 9060 is a premium lifestyle trainer designed for adults who prioritize a blend of heritage-inspired aesthetics and futuristic comfort. By reimagining iconic elements from the classic 99X series through a Y2K-inspired lens, this shoe offers exceptional underfoot support and a distinct, chunky silhouette. While it excels in everyday comfort, users should note that the exaggerated midsole and architectural design are specifically tailored for casual style rather than high-intensity athletic performance.

FAQs
Is the New Balance 9060 suitable for running?
No, the 9060 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer. It is not engineered for the biomechanical demands of long-distance or high-intensity running.
Does the 9060 fit true to size?
Most users find that the 9060 fits true to their standard New Balance size, though the structured design provides a firm fit.
What is the primary difference between the 9060 and the 990?
The 9060 is a contemporary reinterpretation that uses elements of the 990, such as the sway bars, but reimagines them with a futuristic, chunky aesthetic and exaggerated midsole proportions.
How do I care for the leather upper?
Wipe down with a slightly damp cloth after wear and treat with a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles in the New Balance 9060 are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes unisex?
While some models are gender-specific in their sizing, the silhouette and technology are consistent across the series, making the style versatile for everyone.
Troubleshooting
Visible creases appearing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape of the toe box and reduce deep creasing.
Midsole foam showing light surface scuffs
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a white pencil eraser to gently lift scuffs from the sculpted midsole areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 trainers maintain their aesthetic appeal and functional performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather surfaces. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution on a damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that may strip the leather finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring over time.
- Moisture Management: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources like radiators, which can deform the foam midsole.
- Fit: The 9060 series generally fits true to size, but consider the structure of the leather upper, which may require a short breaking-in period for optimal comfort.
