FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the New Balance 9060?

The 9060 is inspired by the refined style and innovation of New Balance's 99X series, reinterpreted with a Y2K-era aesthetic, featuring visible technology and a focus on motion and cushioning.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 9060 are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear and fashion. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for serious running activities and may lack the specific support and responsiveness required for intense athletic performance.

How do I determine my UK shoe size?

UK shoe sizing differs from US and EU sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with New Balance's official size chart, which usually provides conversions between different sizing systems.

Can the suede material get wet?

While the suede is durable, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the material and affect its texture and color. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions and to clean them promptly if they do get wet.

What does 'MPN' mean on the product details?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. It's a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer (New Balance) to this specific product variant.

How do the ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies work?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that absorbs impact and provides a responsive feel. SBS (Shocks, Bounces, Supports) refers to a dual-density midsole designed for cushioning and stability.

What is the difference between the 9060 and older 99X models?

The 9060 takes familiar elements from 99X models but distorts them with a Y2K-inspired, visible tech aesthetic. Key differences include expanded sway bars, a more sculpted pod midsole, and exaggerated proportions compared to the more classic designs of older 99X series shoes.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or to the tongue area. Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose.

Discomfort or rubbing on the heel/toe

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Consider using thicker socks or specialized insoles if the issue persists. Ensure the size is correct and not too tight.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. For minor scuffs, a pencil eraser can sometimes work. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
